High-Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC) combines the advances in research and technologies in high speed networks, software, distributed computing and parallel processing to deliver high-performance, large-scale and cost-effective computational, storage and communication capabilities to a wide range of applications. The intent of this meeting is to provide a forum in which researchers report on new ideas and technical insights, application teams express the challenges of constructing wide area or scalable high performance applications, and technology creators report on future developments. The Fourteenth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Distributed Computing will be a forum for presenting the latest research findings on the design and use of parallel and distributed systems for high end computing, collaboration, data analysis, and other innovative applications. Submissions are encouraged on all aspects of high-performance distributed computing. Of particular interest are approaches to the increasingly dynamic nature of high end applications and systems. Case studies describing novel applications are also encouraged. A more complete list of topics appears below. All papers will be rigorously reviewed by a distinguished international review committee, with a particular emphasis on scientific results having practical impact. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

• HPDC applications including science, engineering, business,

  medicine and education
• Multimedia, teleimmersive, and collaborative applications
• Software environments, programming frameworks and

  language/compiler support
• Middleware, service architectures and services for high end

  applications, including those for real-time or interactive applications
• Parallel and distributed algorithms for computationally and data

  intensive problems
• Operating system technologies for high performance computing
• Architectures for data-centric systems, including data visualization
• High performance I/O and file systems
• Security, configuration, policy, and management issues
• Resource management, scheduling and load-balancing
• Fault tolerance, reliability and availability for high performance

  applications
• Software/hardware/architecture for high end communications
• Terabit networks systems and services
• Performance modeling, simulation, and prediction
 

PUBLICATION
Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press, which will be distributed at the conference.
