     CALL FOR PAPERS

     Sixteenth Annual ACM Symposium on
     Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures
     SPAA '04

     June 27-30, 2004
     Barcelona, Spain
     http://www.spaa-conference.org

========================================================================

SCOPE: 
Contributed papers are sought in ALL areas of parallel algorithms and
architectures. SPAA defines the term "parallel" broadly, encompassing any
computational system that can perform multiple operations or tasks
simultaneously.  Thus, this call for papers covers both traditional
parallel and distributed algorithms and architectures, as well as the
Internet, the web, sensor networks, quantum and DNA computing, etc. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:


PARALLEL COMPUTING                      MASSIVE PARALLELISM

Parallel Algorithms                     Cluster Computing and Grid Computing
Parallel Complexity Theory              Mobile and Wireless Computing
Parallel Computing and Applications     The Internet and the World Wide Web
Models for Parallel                     Sensor Networks 
   and Distributed Computing            
Instruction Level Parallelism and VLSI  Satellite and Radio Networks
Routing and Information Dissemination   Other Large Networks
Parallel Data Structures                Pricing and Equilibria in Networks
Compilers and Tools                     Supercomputer Architecture
   for Parallel Computation                and Computing
Memory-Aware Algorithms                 Quantum and DNA Computing
Metacomputing                           Parallel Data Bases and Data Mining

CONFERENCE PRESENTATION: 
Regular presentations will be allotted a 25-minute talk and up to 10 pages
in the proceedings.  This format is intended for contributions reporting
original research, submitted exclusively to this conference.  
Presentation at the SPAA Revue will be allotted a 10-minute talk and up to
2 pages in the proceedings.  This format is a forum for brief
communications, which may be published later in other conferences.

SUBMISSIONS: 
Authors of contributed papers are encouraged to submit their manuscript
electronically.  To submit electronically, visit
http://sigact.cs.unlv.edu/~spaa2004/SPAA2004.html for instructions.  This
is the preferred method of submission.  The deadline for electronic
submissions is February 4, 2004, 5 p.m. EST. The submissions server can be
turned off anytime after this point.

Authors who are unable to submit electronically should contact the program
chair, Micah Adler, at micah at cs.umass.edu to receive instructions.  Do not
send electronic submissions to this email address.

The cover page should include (1) title, (2) authors and affiliation, 
(3) postal and email address of the contact author, (4) a brief abstract
describing the content of the paper, and (5) an indication if this is a
regular presentation or a SPAA Revue presentation.  If requested by the
authors, an extended abstract that is not selected for a regular
presentation will also be considered for the SPAA Revue.  Such a request
will not affect the consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.

Submissions for regular presentations should include an introduction
understandable to a nonspecialist including motivation and previous work,
and a technical exposition directed to a specialist.  It should not exceed
10 printed pages in 11-point type or larger (excluding cover, figures, and
references).  More details may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix to
be read at the discretion of the program committee.  A camera-ready copy
of each accepted paper must be prepared according to ACM guidelines for
inclusion in the conference proceedings.

A submission for the SPAA Revue should consist of a 2-page abstract for
each proposed presentation.  A camera-ready copy of each accepted abstract
will have to be prepared according to ACM guidelines for inclusion in the
proceedings of the conference.

NOTIFICATION 
Authors will be sent notification of acceptance or rejection by e-mail or
letter mailed on or before March 15, 2004. A camera-ready copy of each
accepted paper, prepared according to ACM guidelines, must be received by
April 6, 2004.
