CALL FOR PAPERS The 2003 International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC 2003) June 23 - 26, 2003 Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA CIC'2003 Logo WWW: http://www.cs.utep.edu/~cic E-mail: cic@cs.utep.edu The 2003 International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC 2003) 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 2003 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 Submissions are expected to represent exceptional work and not be published nor considered for publication elsewhere (survey papers are acceptable).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 2003 will be jointly held with other conferences, thus participants have the opportunity to interact with an expected large body of international researchers. A number of conferences will be jointly held with CIC 2003 including PDPTA 2003. (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 2003. Submissions are not limited to these topics. In all cases, submissions must reflect the focus of this conference. - High Performance Applications (e.g. scientific, commercial, etc.) - Distributed Systems and Advanced Applications (e.g. multimedia, cooperative systems) - Grid computing - Scalable and Interoperable Systems and Associated Standards - Software Systems (e.g. operating system support, middleware, environments, tools, distributed objects) - Architecture (e.g. VLSI, SIMD, MIMD, vector, systolic, reconfigurable, special-purpose) - Interconnection networks (e.g. bus-based, optical) - ATM based networks - Communications (e.g. routing, wireless, mobile) - Visualization (e.g. scientific visualization, debugging and load balancing tools) - Photonics and Optical Computing - Performance Issues (e.g. benchmarks, performance measurement, evaluation and prediction) - Modeling and Simulation of High Performance Systems - Compilation Techniques (e.g. parallelizing compilers) - Programming Languages for Parallel and other High Performance Computing Environments - Parallel/Distributed/Vector Algorithms - Reliability and Fault Tolerance - Embedded and Real Time Systems - Digital Signal Processing - Neural Computing, Genetic Algorithms - Issues in High Performance Computing (e.g. evolving paradigms, grand challenge problems) - Internet & web based processing, E-commerce, telecommunication network, cluster-based computing IMPORTANT DATES Friday, Feb. 21, 2003 Manuscripts due Friday, March 21, 2003 Notification of acceptance Tuesday, April 22, 2003 Final, camera-ready copy due (both hardcopy and electronic versions will be required) June 23-26 2003 CIC 2002 Conference Authors of accepted papers will be requested to submit their conference registration materials along with the camera-ready copy.

Regular paper submissions are intended to provide significant research content, whereas, short paper submissions provide more of an overview. Papers are to be numbered starting from page one, be single spaced with 11pt font and are to include an abstract of 250 words or less together with up to five keywords describing the paper's content. The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for each author. Indicate the presenter or primary contact author if presenter is unknown. Electronic submission of papers in structured PostScript or PDF format via e-mail directly to the CIC 2003 email address are acceptable and encouraged for the review process. If not submitting an electronic version, please submit four hardcopy originals to the General Chair. A final preparation format will be available upon notification of acceptance. Be advised that page charges may be assessed for those accepted papers exceeding the page limit. Submitted papers greatly exceeding the page limit or otherwise deviating significantly from the requested format may be rejected without review. All papers will be fully refereed by a minimum of two reviewers with background in the areas of the reported work. All authors will receive referees' comments. Such comments will be divided into two categories: required and optional changes. All required changes will need to be incorporated prior to final acceptance in the symposium proceedings. Papers submitted as regular papers may, upon the recommendation of the reviewers and/or the conference chairs, be accepted as short papers. EVALUATION PROCESS All papers submitted will be evaluated based on the following criteria: - contribution to the area of research, - relevance to the focus of this conference, - technical merit, - novelty of the approach, - soundness of results, - clarity of presentation. PUBLICATION The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) and will be available at the conference. We plan to identify a selection of `best papers' and to consider re-publication in a special journal issuance. In addition to the hardcopy proceedings, it is also planned to publish the papers on a CD which will be available at the conference. Published papers may also be available on the World Wide Web (WWW) after the conference for convenient retrieval. LOCATION OF CONFERENCE The conference will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. This is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the Las Vegas airport with free shuttles to and from the airport. This hotel has many vacation and recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, casino, spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for families and children. The negotiated hotel's room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable ($79 + tax) per night (no extra charge for double occupancy) for the duration of the conference. ORGANIZERS/SPONSORS A number of university faculty members and their staff in cooperation with the Monte Carlo Resort (Conference Division, Las Vegas ), will be organizing the conference. The conference will be sponsored by World Academy of Sciences and co-sponsored by Computer Science Research, Education, & Applications Press (CSREA: USA Federal EIN # 58-2171953) together with research centers, international associations, international research groups, and developers of high-performance machines and systems.
