PURPOSE AND SCOPE The 2006 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS 2006) provides an international forum for scientists, engineers, and users to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of parallel and distributed systems. All accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of ICPADS 2006, which is to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Awards will be given to the best papers. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Parallel and Distributed Architectures and Systems * Parallel and Distributed Applications and Algorithms * Distributed OS, Databases, and Resource Management * Multi-core and Multithreaded Architectures * Thermal Management and Power-Aware Computing * Reliable and Fault-Tolerant Computing * Grid, Peer-to-Peer, and Cluster Computing * Web-based Computing and Services * Wireless and Mobile Computing * Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks * Communication Networks and Protocols * Interconnection Networks and I/O * Real-Time and Multimedia Systems * Security and Privacy * Performance Modeling, Tools, and Evaluation WORKSHOPS The Twelfth International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems ICPADS will be held in Minneapolis during July 12-15. Several one-day workshops are expected to be organized on July 15th, on the last day of the conference. ICPADS workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of parallel and distributed systems research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops may focus on any aspect of parallel and distribued systems, established concerns, real-world advances, or new ideas. The goal of the workshops are to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions. Proposals for the workshops are solicited. Workshop proposals should be no longer than 2 pages, and should include a summary describing the theme(s) of the workshop, scope and motivation, topics of interest, brief biographies of the organizer(s), expected number of participants, and the means of soliciting participation.
