Title: 5th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS'06) Deadline: 2005-11-07 Webpage: http://iptps06.cs.ucsb.edu/ Conference: February 27-28, 2006 Contact: iptps06-chairs@lists.cs.ucsb.edu Location: Santa Barbara, CA, USA Synopsis:
The 5th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS'06) provides a forum for researchers to discuss the state-of-the-art in peer-to-peer computing and to identify key research challenges in the area. IPTPS'06 will continue to build on the success of the previous workshops. The goal of the workshop is to examine peer-to-peer technologies, applications, and systems, and also to identify key research issues and challenges that lie ahead. In the context of this workshop, peer-to-peer systems are characterized as being decentralized, self-organizing distributed systems, in which most or all clients also act as servers.

Title: 26th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'06) Deadline: 2005-11-15 Webpage: http://icdcs2006.di.fc.ul.pt Conference: July 4-7, 2006 Contact: ler@di.fc.ul.pt Location: Lisboa, Portugal Synopsis:
The conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in any aspects of distributed and parallel computing. ____________________________________________________________ MobiSys 2006
Title: 4th International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys'06) Deadline: 2005-11-28 Webpage: http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2006/ Conference: June 19-22, 2006 Contact: mobisys_pcchairs@acm.org Location: Uppsala, Sweden Synopsis:
MobiSys 2006 seeks to present innovative and significant research on the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of mobile computing and wireless systems, applications, and services. The conference will be held in early summer in the historic town of Uppsala, Sweden. It builds on the success of the first three conferences held in San Francisco, Boston and Seattle. We seek papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. We value results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations.

Title: 4th Workshop on Memory Performance Issues, conjunction with HPCA Deadline: 2005-12-09 Webpage: http://www.cs.utah.edu/wmpi/2006/ Conference: 2/11/2006 Contact: legion@cs.utah.edu Location: Austin, Texas, USA Synopsis:
WMPI is a one-day workshop that provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss advances in computer technology, architecture, software systems, and algorithms that address the growing disparity between processor and memory/network speeds. Hardware and software mechanisms that address this performance gap are equally welcome. We are particularly interested in new or controversial ideas. Work in early stages of development is encouraged. The workshop will include one or more keynote speakers. The best five to seven papers of this workshop will be published in a special issue of SIGMICRO newsletter. ____________________________________________________________ ECRTS 06
Title: 18th EUROMICRO CONFERENCE ON REAL-TIME SYSTEMS Deadline: 2005-12-11 Webpage: http://ecrts06.tudos.org/ Conference: 07, 5-7, 2006 Contact: Location: Dresden, Germany Synopsis:
The 18. EUROMICRO Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 06) is a forum aimed at covering state-of-the-art research and development in real-time computing. Papers on all aspects of real-time systems are welcome. These include, but are not limited to: applications, infrastructure and hardware, software technologies, system design and analysis. This year, we particularly encourage submission of papers on industrial case studies, application of real-time technology on realistic systems, real-time operating systems implementations. ____________________________________________________________ * NEW THIS MONTH!

Title: 2nd IEEE Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing Deadline: 2005-12-19 Webpage: http://fortknox.csc.ncsu.edu/proj/hppac/ Conference: April 25-29, 2006 Contact: dkl@cs.uga.edu Location: Rhodes, Greece Synopsis:
The goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for research in power-aware, high-performance computing. This includes work that reduces (1) power, (2) energy consumption, or (3) heat generation, with little or no performance penalty.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following.
. Novel power-aware architectures for HPC . Power-aware middleware for HPC . Power-aware runtime systems for HPC . Reduced power/energy/heat algorithms & applications . Surveys or studies of power/energy/heat usage of HPC applications
