An essential element of high performance computing is the trade-off in the amount of computation versus the amount of communication performed. In other words, computations induce a certain amount of required communication. This conference provides a venue for scholarly publication that explores issues relating to the combined effects of communications and computations in the context of modern day computing systems. Following the recent broadening of the field of parallel and distributed computing, CIC 2002 covers all current research endeavors in this field. Submissions are also encouraged from researchers in other areas of computing and from related areas in physics, computer engineering or other areas of study whose work supports the focus of this conference. Submissions are expected to represent exceptional work and not be published nor considered for publication elsewhere (survey papers are acceptable). The venue also includes special tracks, invited speakers and will foster synergistic relationships among the participants. Past venues included excellent papers from international researchers, an invited talk and discussion posters. This year's conference is planned to capitalize upon the past success. Several special tracks are being planned for this year's conference; announcements for special tracks will be available later. As well, CIC 2002 will be jointly held with other conferences, thus participants have the opportunity to interact with an expected large body of international researchers. Currently, the following conferences will be held simultaneously with CIC 2002: PDPTA 2002, CISST 2002, IC 2002 and others (see http://www.ashland.edu/~iajwa/conferences/ for information about these conferences). In all, over 1000 participants are expected to attend the multi-conference event. TOPICS The following topics are suggested as particular examples of interest to CIC 2002.

   The Third International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC
   2002) focuses on the communication requirements directly induced or
   required by computations. An essential element of high performance
   computing is the trade-off in the amount of computation versus the
   amount of communication performed. In other words, computations induce
   a certain amount of required communication. This conference provides a
   venue for scholarly publication that explores issues relating to the
   combined effects of communications and computations in the context of
   modern day computing systems.

   Following the recent broadening of the field of parallel and
   distributed computing, CIC 2002 covers all current research endeavors
   in this field. Submissions are also encouraged from researchers in
   other areas of computing and from related areas in physics, computer
   engineering or other areas of study whose work supports the focus of
   this conference.

   Submissions are expected to represent exceptional work and not be
   published nor considered for publication elsewhere (survey papers are
   acceptable). The venue also includes special tracks, invited speakers
   and will foster synergistic relationships among the participants. Past
   venues included excellent papers from international researchers, an
   invited talk and discussion posters. This year's conference is planned
   to capitalize upon the past success. Several special tracks are being
   planned for this year's conference; announcements for special tracks
   will be available later.

   As well, CIC 2002 will be jointly held with other conferences, thus
   participants have the opportunity to interact with an expected large
   body of international researchers. Currently, the following
   conferences will be held simultaneously with CIC 2002: PDPTA 2002,
   CISST 2002, IC 2002 and others (see
