Silicon Valley - will host the conference in 2003.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and
application of high-performance systems, including new experimental
and commercial systems, architectures with fine and coarse grain
parallelism, grid computing, novel infrastructures for the Internet,
parallel I/O and storage, embedded and power-aware computer
architectures, operating systems and support software, restructuring
and optimizing compilers, program development tools, high-performance
Java, performance evaluation studies, numerical or non-numerical
algorithms, and computationally challenging scientific applications.

Papers should not exceed 6,000 words, and must be submitted
electronically using the submission form available at
http://www.csit.fsu.edu/ics03. Submissions must be in PDF or
postscript format.

Workshop and tutorial proposals are solicited, and are due by March
