Fifteenth ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures

The Fifteenth Annual ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA '03) is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT) and Computer Architecture (SIGARCH) and organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science. SPAA '03 is part of the 2003 ACM Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC).
This year SPAA has a new name to reflect the expanded scope of the conference as detailed below.

SPAA '03 will feature contributed papers, each with a 25-minute talk, and SPAA revue papers, each with a 10-minute talk. The SPAA revue is for brief communications including work in progress or demos.

Expanded Scope
This year, in a tradition starting in 2001, SPAA defines "parallel" very broadly to encompass any computational "device" that can perform multiple operations or tasks simultaneously. As a consequence, SPAA 2003 covers all aspects of parallelism. This includes traditional parallel and distributed algorithms and architectures, plus new aspects including satellite networks, the web, quantum and DNA computing, etc. For more information, see the call for papers below.

Online proceedings from previous SPAA conferences are accessible (membership needed for full text) by following the ACM digital library links from the ACM home page.

Local information
The conference will be held at The Town and Country Resort. For more information as it becomes available, go to the 2003 FCRC home page.
