Workshops and tutorials serve as the "book-end" events on the first and last days. Note that in Nice the beginning day will be Tuesday the 22nd and the final day of IPDPS will be Saturday the 26th. The three intervening days open with addresses by invited speakers and focus on the presentation of contributed papers in technical sessions organized around symposium topics of interest. Particularly hot topics are further explored via panel discussions, as well as other ad hoc meetings and discussions throughout the week. Details on local accommodations as well as travel tips will be posted on the Web before the end of the year, so you are encouraged to regularly check the IPDPS Web site at www.ipdps.org for updates. General email inquiries should be addressed to . GENERAL CO-CHAIRS Michel Cosnard, Universite' de Nice & INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France Allan Gottlieb, New York University & NEC Research Institute, GENERAL VICE CO-CHAIRS Luc Bouge', ENS Cachan & IRISA, Rennes, France Charles Weems, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, WORKSHOPS --------- Workshops are an opportunity to explore special topics, and running a workshop in association with IPDPS offers many advantages. The 18 workshops held at IPDPS 2002 are already planning for continuation in 2003 and several more have been proposed. Contact General Vice Co-Chair Charles Weems for details on workshop proposals. To obtain more information on an individual IPDPS workshop, go to the IPDPS Web site at www.ipdps.org. Each workshop has its own requirements and schedule for submissions and all are linked from the IPDPS Web site.

Paired with three days of "walk-up-and-talk" exhibits, industrial researchers can promote awareness about their recent technological advances and obtain feedback from a diverse audience. Industrial sponsors are linked from the IPDPS home page, giving them several months of visibility, and papers presented become part of the IPDPS proceedings. Proposals for innovative ways to showcase vendor products or to provide sponsor benefits in lieu of exhibiting are also encouraged. Companies interested in participating should contact one of the Industrial Track Co-Chairs by October 20, 2002: Isabelle Attali or Kiran Bondalapati . TUTORIALS --------- Proposals are solicited for organizing full or half-day tutorials. Interested individuals should submit a proposal by October 20, 2002 to the Tutorials Chair Patricia Teller . Contact her for details prior to submitting your proposal.

Parallel and distributed architectures, including signal and image processors, network processors, other special purpose processors, nontraditional processor technologies, network and interconnect architecture, and performance modeling and evaluation. 4. Parallel and distributed software, including parallel programming languages and compilers, operating systems, runtime, middleware, libraries, programming environments and tools for parallel and distributed computing. BEST PAPER AWARDS ----------------- Awards will be given for the best paper in each of the four conference topics. The selected papers will also be considered for possible publication in a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. WHAT TO SUBMIT -------------- Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 12 single-spaced pages of text using 12-point size type on 8.5x11 inch pages. References, figures, tables, etc. may be included in addition to the twelve pages of text. Hardcopy submissions will be accepted, but files in either PostScript (level 2) or PDF format are strongly encouraged. (Note: Authors need to make sure that the electronically submitted files will print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5x11 inch paper.) Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be considered for another conference. Submission procedures are available via Web access at www.ipdps.org. For those who have only e-mail access, send an e-mail message to for an automatic reply that will contain detailed instructions for submission of manuscripts. If no electronic access is available, contact the program chair at the address given below. All manuscripts will be reviewed. Manuscripts must be received by October 4, 2002 at 12 Noon EST. (Note: Authors will be granted an automatic extension of up to 1 week (168 hours) without making a special request. However, no further extensions will be granted.) Submissions received after the due date or exceeding the length limit may not be considered. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by December 20, 2002.

IPDPS 2003 -- to be held in Nice, France -- will be hosted by INRIA, CNRS and the University of Nice. INRIA is the French Institute for research & development in information, communication, science and technology, and includes the Sophia-Antipolis INRIA Research Unit, which is located 20 miles from Nice and is neighbor to a major concentration of French high-tech industries and research centers. Similar to the American NSF, the CNRS sponsors research in high performance computing and networking. In this domain, the CNRS connects over 80 research groups in France, including the I3S laboratory, which operates in cooperation with the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis. Both INRIA and CNRS are vitally interested in promoting international exchange, making them ideal hosts for the 17th International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium. The Nice setting offers state-of-the-art meeting facilities in the Acropolis Convention Center, and there is a wide assortment of hotel accommodations within walking distance. Located between Cannes and Monte Carlo on the French Riviera, Nice provides a sidewalk cafe' and beach atmosphere to complement the technical resources available to IPDPS through the nearby Sophia-Antipolis INRIA Research Unit. Make sure your passports are up to date and keep next April open for your travel to the French Riviera. Visit the IPDPS Web site at www.ipdps.org for further information and regular updates on travel & accommodations.
