The first conference (PAAP 2008 <http://www.nhpcc.ustc.edu.cn/PAAP08/>) was held in Hefei, Anhui,China in celebration of the 50th anniversary of USTC. PAAP 2010 aims at addressing advances in research on parallel computing, covering topics from theoretic studies to technology issues and applications. *TOPICS OF INTEREST Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of high-performance and parallel computing theories, systems and applications. Topics include, but are not limited to: Architectures: -Multi/many-core architectures -Interconnection networks -Parallel/distributed architectures -Reliability and fault-tolerance -Ubiquitous computing systems -Communication and telecommunication -Cluster and Grid computing systems -Cloud Computing -Reconfigurable architectures Algorithms: -Parallel/distributed algorithms -Task mapping and job scheduling -Parallel/Distributed databases and knowledge discovery -High-performance scientific computing -High-performance reconfigurable computing -Power-aware Computing -Secure distributed computing -Resource allocation and management -Network routing and traffic control -Bioinformatics -Quantum computing -Social Computing -Cloud Computing Programming: -Multi/many-core programming -Parallel programming theory and models -Formal methods and verification -Middleware for parallel systems -Parallel programming languages -Compilers and runtime systems -Automatic parallelization -Parallel libraries and application frameworks -Performance analysis, debugging, and optimization -Development, analysis, and management tools -Parallel applications -Concurrent data structures -Synchronization and concurrency control -Software engineering for parallel programs *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-space, two-column format using at least 10 point size type. All submitted papers are limited to 8 pages. Please use only standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the CPS Formatting<http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html>page on IEEE Computer Society website. http://www.computer.org/portal/web/publications/authors Each submitted manuscript will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. The same paper should NOT be submitted to other conferences or events simultaneously. Such duplicate submissions will be rejected from the conference without review. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical depth, and presentation. All accepted conference papers will be published by IEEE, included in the IEEE Xplore, and then can be indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP. More than 1/2 selected excellent papers will be published in SCI or EI indexed Journals. Current promised journals are: International Journal of Digital Content Technology and its Applications (EI) and Journal of Computer (EI), which will offer a special issue for PAAP 2010 (each accepts about 15 papers). Super Computing(SCI), Journal of Computer Science and Technology(SCI), and Frontiers of Computer Science in China (EI) will accept recommended papers from PAAP 2010. More Journals will be announced soon. ========================= Organizing Committee ========================= *Honorary Co-Chairs: Guoliang Chen, University of Science and Technology of China Benjamin W.
