Message from the APDCT-08 Symposium Chairs
2008
APDCT-08 contains 19 invited papers selected from the ones submitted to the ISPA-08 main track, and thus all the papers were peer reviewed by members of the ISPA-08 program committee. The symposium covers a broad range of topics in the field of parallel and distributed computing: parallel and distributed system architectures; parallel and distributed software technologies; parallel and distributed algorithms; resource management and scheduling; workflow management; grid, cluster and peer-to-peer computing; performance evaluation and measurement; distributed systems and applications; and high-performance scientific computing. We thank the authors for submitting their work and the members of the ISPA-08 Program Committee for managing the reviews of the symposium papers. We believe this symposium complements perfectly the topic focus of ISPA-08 and provides additional breadth and depth to the main conference. Finally, we hope you enjoy the symposium and have a fruitful meeting in Sydney.
