CFP: The 2007 International Conference on Communications in Computing: CIC 2007

Dear all. I believe this conference is appropriate for this
community, especially for those whose research crosses communications
with systems or other computational domains. As Chair, I encourage
synergy from collaborative research areas. Apologies for cross- or
multiple postings.

Call for Papers


The 2007 International Conference on Communications in Computing: CIC
2007
http://www.cs.utep.edu/cic


Monte Carlo Resort hotel, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
June 25 - 28, 2007


Submission Date: Feb. 20, 2007


Conference Scope


The International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC)
focuses on the communication requirements directly induced or
required
by computing systems. An essential element of modern day distributed
and high performance computing systems is the trade-off in the amount
of computation versus the amount of communication performed. Certain
applications are inherently communication-intensive. In others,
communication steps may be replaceable with local computations and
vice versa. At the same time, systems resources may support large
communication requirements. In other systems, physical or power
constraints may limit the communication support. 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 computing systems. CIC 2007 is part of The 2007
World Congress in Computer Science Computer Engineering, and Applied
Computing (WORLDCOMP'07).


Following the recent broadening of the field of parallel and
distributed computing, CIC 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.

All submissions should relate to the dual computation and
communication focus of the conference. Submissions are organized into
one of two tracks with each track emphasizing either the
computational
or communication nature of the work.

- mobile systems
- wireless and optical networks
- wireless sensor networks
- Computing network management
- Internet, Web-based Computing, E-commerce, and Telecommunications
in applications
- Network security in distributed applications
- Ubiquitous systems


Parallel and Distributed Systems Track
- Communications in High Performance Computing
- Parallel & Distributed Algorithms
- Communications in New Computational Paradigms (e.g. optical-,
nano-, bio-computing)
- Parallel, Distributed, Grid, Peer-to-Peer and Cluster-based
Computing
- Interconnection Networks
- Computation and Communication Performance Models
- Modeling and Simulation of High Performance Systems
- Scalable and Interoperable Systems and Associated Standards
