Workshop on Parallel Algorithms and Software for Analysis of Massive Graphs (ParGraph'2012) -- deadline extended

[Apologies if you received multiple copies of this email.]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite your submissions to the second workshop on parallel algorithms and software for analysis of massive graphs (ParGraph'2012) to be held in conjunction with HiPC from December 18 - 21, 2012 in Pune, India. The deadline for submissions is August 31, 2012.


Confirmed Keynote Speaker:

Keshav Pingali, W.A."Tex" Moncrief Chair of Grid and Distributed Computing. Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of Texas, Austin. Professor, Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, University of Texas, Austin.


Call for Papers:
Combinatorial algorithms play an important enabling role in several areas of science and engineering. Many combinatorial algorithms, graph algorithms in particular, are characterized by irregular data-access patterns that make efficient implementation on traditional high-performance computing platforms challenging. Architectural features, algorithmic design and software engineering techniques, and characteristics of the input collectively determine the performance of these algorithms. In addition, runtime support for irregular applications, programming models (e.g., partitioned global address space (PGAS), bulk-synchronous processing (BSP), active messages), and the emergence of hybrid manycore platforms deserve attention. With this workshop we facilitate a forum to bring together diverse researchers interested in combinatorial (graph) algorithms, data intensive applications involving them, and parallel computing.

We seek submissions on broad topics of interest as listed below, but not limited to this:
*       Theory and Algorithms:
o       Combinatorial (graph) algorithms and libraries
o       Algorithms for analysis of large complex networks (social network analysis)
o       Approximation algorithms and bounds
*       Design and performance evaluation of algorithms on:
o       Traditional architectures: massively parallel distributed-memory systems (IBM BlueGene, Cray XE), shared-memory multicore systems (Intel, AMD)
o       Nontraditional architectures: massively multithreaded architectures (Cray XMT), manycore and tiled platforms (Nvidia, AMD, Tilera)
*       Applications:
o       Combinatorial Scientific Computing; Data Mining; Graph Mining; Machine Learning
o       Bioinformatics; Information (Cyber) security; Mobile computing
o       Visual Analytics; Graph Visualization
*       Programming paradigms and runtime support for irregular applications

Submission Details:
We seek high quality manuscripts detailing creative and original research. The manuscripts should not be currently under review at any other venue. Please do not exceed eight (8) pages following the HiPC paper formatting guidelines<http://www.hipc.org/hipc2012/papers.php>. We will not consider submissions that deviate significantly from the above guidelines. We guarantee at least three independent reviews for all submitted papers. Workshop proceedings will be published as a separate CDROM Proceedings by HiPC. Hardcopy proceedings will not be provided. HiPC is sponsored by ACM and IEEE.

Please submit your work using EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pargraph2012). Do not use the HiPC Conference submission system. Please contact the organizers if you have any questions.

Important Dates:
*       August 31, 2012           : Submission of manuscripts - deadline extended!
*       September 07, 2012 : Notification of decision
*       September 15, 2012 : Submission of camera-ready papers
*       December  18, 2012 : Workshop


Program Chair:
Srinivas Aluru, Ross Martin Mehl and Marylyne Munas Mehl Professor of Computer Engineering, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Iowa State University; and Bajaj Chair Professor of computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
