Authors are invited to submit posters to the 10th IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications (ISPA 2012) conference. The posters will provide a forum to exchange and discuss the ongoing work, experiences, new ideas, proposals, applications, and research results.

• Submission deadline: February, 29, 2012

• Acceptance notification: March, 15 2012.

• Short paper camera ready: April, 15 2012.

• Conference dates: July, 10-13, 2012.

• TXT version.

The areas of interest match that of the conference and include the following topics:

• Parallel and distributed algorithms and applications
• Architectures and virtualization
• Cloud, Grid, and Cluster computing
• Middleware and tools
• Network and pervasive computing
• Reliability, fault-tolerance and security
• Database, data-mining and data management
• Performance simulations and evaluations

Posters are intended to present finished and preliminary work. For preliminary work, initial results are expected to be presented. We specially encourage submissions by students (that is, for which a student is the first author of the poster).

Poster proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file with no more than 2 pages. The two pages shall contain an abstract describing the research content of the poster, along with the title, authors, institutional affiliations and contact information. Authors should follow the IEEE CS proceedings paper format. If accepted, these short papers will be published in the IEEE proceedings of the conference. At least one author should register to the conference and present the poster throughout the entire poster session.

Authors of accepted posters will have the chance to present the poster to conference attendees during a special poster session included in the main program. Well-crafted posters will tell the story well by themselves, but authors of posters are expected to be available to describe and discuss the work presented in the poster during the session. At least one of the poster authors must be registered at the conference and attend to the poster session. The poster dimensions are A1 (707 mm by 1000 mm). Poster boards will be available for authors. You may choose a layout consisting of several individual sheets of paper, or a monolithic large sheet.

A Best Poster Award will be given to the author(s) of the best poster presented at the conference.
