It will feature session presentations, workshops, tutorials and keynote speeches. Scope and Interests The Conference invites papers on all aspects of Parallel/Distributed Computing and Networking, and their applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ? Computer networks ? Network routing and communication algorithms ? Parallel/distributed system architectures ? Tools and environments for software development ? Parallel/distributed algorithms ? Distributed systems and applications ? Wireless networks, mobile and pervasive computing ? Reliability, fault-tolerance, and security ? Performance evaluation and measurements ? Grid and cluster computing ? Internet computing and Web technologies ? Database applications and data mining ? High-performance scientific and engineering computing Submission Information The conference and workshop proceedings will be published by Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Papers not exceed 15 pages with free layout style should be submitted through: http://cse.stfx.ca/~ispa07/. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference. Otherwise papers will be removed from the LNCS digital library.
