<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">ISPA-15 (13th IEEE International Symposium
on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications) is a forum for
presenting leading work on parallel and distributed computing and networking,
including architecture, compilers, runtime systems, applications, reliability,
security, parallel programming models and much more. During the symposium,
scientists and engineers in both academia and industry are invited to present
their work on concurrent and parallel systems (multicore, multithreaded, heterogeneous,
clustered systems, distributed systems, grids, clouds, and large scale
machines).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The 13th ISPA follows the tradition of
previous successful ISPA conferences in the years from 2003 to 2014 in Asia,
Europe, Australia and North America. It will feature sessions of regular presentations,
workshops, tutorials and keynote speeches. ISPA-15 is sponsored by the IEEE
Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and the IEEE Computer Society.
ISPA-15 is particularly interested in research addressing heterogeneous
computing with the use of accelerators, mobile computing, approximate
computing, tools and methodologies to improve the quality of parallel
programming and applying generic computing approaches to networks, in
particular Software Defined networking and its applications. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Submitted papers must not substantially
overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously
submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly
presented in English, must not exceed 8 pages, including tables, figures,
references and appendixes, in IEEE Computer Society proceedings format with
Portable Document Format (.pdf). Please submit your paper at
<a href="https://comnet.aalto.fi/ISPA2015/sub/">https://comnet.aalto.fi/ISPA2015/sub/</a>.</span></p>
