[TCPP-announce] HCW'2004 final extended deadline = October 31

Dear colleagues,

sorry for circulating information about HCW'2004 one more time.
The last and final deadline extension for submitting papers is
October 31, 2004. We had initially planned a one-week extension,
but the IPDPS decision to grant an additional week (IPDPS deadline
is October 17) leads us to take the same decision.

If you already planned to submit a paper, you may want to refine
it until the end of the month. Anyway, the on-line submission
server is ready and awaiting your input.

If you are currently rushing to submit an IPDPS paper (deadline
tomorrow) and realize that you won't make it, do not desperate:
please consider that HCW offers you two more weeks!

Please refer to the workshop site for submitting papers:

With best regards,
Yves Robert

The 13th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (HCW 2004) will be held
in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, on April 26, 2004, in conjunction
with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing
Symposium (IPDPS).

HCW'2004 is sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, by
INRIA, and by the IEEE Computer Society, through the Technical
Committee on Parallel Processing.


                 ===============================
                 HCW 2004 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                 ===============================

Heterogeneous computing systems are those with a range of diverse
computing resources that can be local to one another or
geographically distributed. The pervasive use of networks and the
Internet by all segments of modern society means that the number
of connected computing resources is growing tremendously. Hence,
the opportunity and need for heterogeneous computing systems to
effectively utilize these resources in new, novel ways is growing
concomitantly. This has given rise, for instance, to the notions
of grid computing and peer-to-peer computing. The effective
implementation of efficient applications in these environments,
however, requires that a host of issues be addressed that simply
do not occur in "single-chassis" sequential or parallel machines.

Thus, the topics of interest concerning heterogeneous systems and
environments include, but are not limited to: programming
paradigms and tools, resource discovery and management, task and
communication scheduling, task coordination and workflow,
performance management, heterogeneous cluster computing, grid
computing, peer-to-peer computing, adaptive computing, ubiquitous
computing, mobile computing, real-time distributed systems,
security, fault tolerance, and application case studies.

The workshop plans to publish the proceedings through the IEEE
Computer Society Press as part of the IPDPS CD-ROM.

                 HCW 2004 - IMPORTANT DATES
                 ==========================

Oct. 31, 2003: Manuscript Submission Deadline
Dec. 19, 2003: Acceptance Notification
Jan. 23, 2004: Camera-Ready Copy Due
Apr. 26, 2004: Workshop


                 ============================
                 HCW 2004 - SUBMITTING PAPERS
                 ============================

HCW 2004 invites authors to submit summaries of original and
unpublished work in all areas of heterogeneous computing. All
submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Summaries
should not exceed five (5) single-spaced pages of text using 12
point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. References, figures,
tables, etc. may be included in addition to the five pages of
text. The summary should include an abstract of approximately 100
words. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2), PDF, or Word
file that will print on a PostScript printer. Electronic
submission through the HCW 2004 web site:
                  http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/hcw2004,
is strongly encouraged. Email or hard copy submission will only be
accepted if web submission is not possible, and only after prior
arrangement with the Program Chair. Submission is a definite
commitment for at least one of the authors to register and present
the paper if it is accepted.
