Call for Papers for the 16th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing (ICA3PP 2016) https://www.arcos.inf.uc3m.es/wp/ica3pp2016/ Organizers: University Carlos III, Spain University of Granada, Spain Venue & Dates: Granada, Spain, December 14-16, 2016 INTRODUCTION ICA3PP 2016 is the 16th event in the series of conferences started in 1995 that are devoted to algorithms and architectures for parallel processing. ICA3PP is now recognized as the main regular event of the world that is covering many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the power of computing system has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for academics and practitioners from countries around the world to exchange ideas for improving the efficiency, performance, reliability, security and interoperability of computing systems and applications. Following the traditions of the previous successful ICA3PP conferences held in Hangzhou, Brisbane, Singapore, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Beijing, Cyprus, Taipei, Busan, Melbourne, Fukuoka, Vietri sul Mare, Dalian and Zhangjiajie, ICA3PP 2016 will be held in Zhangjiajie, China. The objective of ICA3PP 2016 is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to advance the theories and technologies in parallel and distributed computing. ICA3PP 2016 will focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing, i.e. architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications. The conference of ICA3PP 2016 will be hosted by University of Granada, Spain.

The ICA3PP 2016 workshop’s proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes for Computer Science Series. See LNCS web page for more info. There are five workshops for the ICA3PP 2016 edition. Please, see the each workshop´s page for details: - Supercomputing Co-Design Technology Workshop (SCDT). - International Workshop in Theoretical Approaches to Performance Evaluation, Modeling and Simulation (TAPEMS). - Ultrascale Computing for Early Researchers (UCER 2016). - The 1st International Workshop on Trust, Security and Privacy for Big Data (BigTrust 2016). - First International Workshop on Data Locality in Modern Computing Systems (DLMCS 2016). SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ica3pp2016) with PDF format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 14 pages or 20 pages with the over length charge in Springer LNCS format, including tables, figures, references and appendixes. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. ICA3PP 2016 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital library and index service), if the paper is not presented at the conference. All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (EI Indexed). Two outstanding papers will be selected to receive the Best Paper Award. -- ________________________________________________________ Dr. Javier García Blas Computer Architecture, Communications and Systems Area.
