************************** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS *************************

   SECOND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING
                            October 16-18, 2003
                            Ljubljana, Slovenia
                   http://thor.info.uaic.ro/~busaco/ispdc2003/

The 2nd ISPDC will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia and will be organized
within the framework of the IS'2003 Multiconference
(http://ai.ijs.si/is/is2003). It will follow the first ISPDC that took
place in Iasi, Romania, in July, 2001 (see
http://www.infoiasi.ro/~ispdc/). An important feature of this Symposium
was the high quality of presented material and the friendly and relaxed
atmosphere which encouraged the exchange of ideas. These will be our goals
also this year. Due to the fact that the symposium will be organized as
one of eight events it will help establishing links with researchers in
other fields. We therefore hope that the second meeting will be as
successful as the first.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers (not being
considered for presentation or publication elsewhere) describing
theoretical and/or experimental research. Areas of interest include, but
are not limited to the following aspects of parallel and/or distributed
computing:

- algorithms, models and formal verification
- software agents and multi-agent systems
- programming paradigms and tools
- resource discovery and management
- task and communication scheduling
- performance management
- cluster, grid and heterogeneous computing
- mobile and ubiquitous computing and systems
- parallel, distributed and mobile databases
- peer-to-peer and web computing and services
- adaptive computing
- web distributed computing
- real-time distributed systems
- security
- fault tolerance
- scientific computing and large-scale simulations
- applications and case studies

The corresponding author is requested to include in a cover letter: (1)
complete postal address; (2) e-mail address; and (3) Phone/fax numbers.
Only electronic submissions in the PDF, PS, and DOC format are accepted.
The files should be emailed to marcin-WwYSd80vZ+24E6AxdGBuuw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
All submissions will
be peer-reviewed by at least 2 referees of the international Program
Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the symposium
proceedings(additional information will be forthcoming; including
publisher name, paper length and the detailed formatting instructions).


IMPORTANT DATES:

August 1, 2003                  - paper submission deadline
September 7, 2003               - notification to authors
