Organized by:
Dr. C. J. Kenneth Tan (SHARCNET, Canada)
Dr. Marina Gavrilova (University of Calgary, Canada)
News: Paper submission is in progress.
Overview
The concentration of this Technical Session is in the realms of applied computational methods in parallel and distributed environments, including but not limited to computer graphics, visulization, GIS, databases, matrix computations, equation solvers, Monte Carlo methods, and others. (See the list below.) The sequential counterpart of these topics have long been the interest of researchers. However, many of the parallel aspects of various algorithms, their implementations and applications, still remain open. Implementation of these algorithms may be on systems ranging from loosely-coupled pile of DSP's to workstation clusters to MPP's.
The large scale computations are of the special interest for session organizers. This topic offers the opportunity to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research, as well as to help industrial users apply techniques of large scale parallel and distributed computations.
Topics of interest:
matrix computations
equation solvers
Monte Carlo methods
random number generators
sorting algorithms
computer vision and computer graphics
computer simulation
parallel numerical methods
parallelization of algorithms in computational geometry, biology, physics and other applied sciences
The design and implementation of algorithms in parallel and distributed environments, and applications of such methods to mechanics and physics, are of special interest.
PDPTA conference series
The 2002 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA 2002) will be held at the Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, from June 24 till June 27, 2002.
It is anticipated that this international event will attract over 1500 participants. This MultiConference is composed of 14 International conferences that will be held simultaneously. Attendees will have full access to all 14 conferences.
The conference will be co-sponsored by Computer Science Research, Education, & Applications Press together with research centers, international associations, international research groups, and developers of high-performance machines and systems.
Paper Submission
