*****************************************************************

PACT-04 will be held in Antibes Juan-les-Pins, on the French riviera.
Located between Nice and Cannes, 13 kilometers away from the Nice Cote
d'Azur international airport, Antibes Juan-les-Pins ranks as the second
largest town in the Cote d'Azur region (after Nice and just ahead of
Cannes). The town has one of the prettiest coastal landscapes in France,
which spreads on about 25 kilometers. The Sophia-Antipolis technological
park is located at the North East of the city.

PACT aims at bringing together researchers in architecture, compilers,
applications and languages to present and discuss innovative research of
common interest. PACT solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics
that include, but are not limited to:

- Parallel architectures and computational models
- Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
- Superscalar, VLIW and multithreaded architectures
- Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
- Hardware and software support for energy/heat-aware computing
- Hardware and software for network processing
- Reconfigurable computing
- Dynamic translation and optimization
- I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications
- Parallel programming languages, algorithms and applications
- Run time system support for parallel systems
- Mobile/wireless computing for parallel applications
- Application specific systems
- Applications and experimental systems studies
- Parallel processing in the context of Java
- Non-traditional computing systems topics
