Special Session on
Coordination in Parallel and Distributed Applications and Activities
A session in PDPTA'99
June 28 - July 1, 1999
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

This session is an approved technical session in the 5th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications, PDPTA'99 (http://www.cps.udayton.edu/~pan/pdpta and http//www.jhpc.org/pdpta).

Aims and scope

The emergence of new work activities, where remote participants -supported by coordination and collaboration tools- collaborate to achieve complex tasks, makes coordination from, both the activity and the software point of view, an important research issue. Coordination is, by nature, an inter-disciplinary research issue involving different research skills and serving different application areas. This includes process coordination in multi-threaded programs, components coordination in concurrent applications, workflow management in CSCW, transactions in distributed applications, etc.

The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers, and practitioners working on coordination in these different disciplinaries. The session serves as a forum enabling experience exchange between academia and industry as well as between researchers working in the different coordination research branches.

Topics

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Accepted papers publishing

Papers describing original research results are solicited and authors are encouraged to address both theoretical and practical aspects of coordination. All submitted papers will be subject to peer review and papers accepted for presentation at PDPTA'99 will be published in the conference Proceedings. Some technical sessions will be considered for publication in relevant international journals.

Paper submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit three copies of their draft paper (about 4 pages) to one of the session co-chairs (address is given below) by the due date. E-mail and Fax submissions are also acceptable. The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords.
