Dear all. I believe this conference is appropriate for this
community,
especially for those whose research crosses communications with
systems or
other computational domains. Workshop proposals related to the focus
area of the conference are welcome.
Apologies for cross- or multiple postings.

Regards. Brian J. d'Auriol, Chair. CIC 2007

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.

Suggested Topics

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.

Networking and Communications Track

- Communication Protocols for computing
- 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
- Software Systems (e.g. operating system support, middleware,
tools)
- Reliability and Fault Tolerance inEmbedded and Real Time Systems
