ICA3PP 2017 is the 17th in this series of conferences started in 1995 that
are devoted to algorithms and architectures for parallel processing. ICA3PP
is now recognized as the main regular event of the world that is covering
the many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing
fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and
commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems
have permeated in every aspects of daily life, the power of computing
system has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum
for academics and practitioners from countries around the world to exchange
ideas for improving the efficiency, performance, reliability, security and
interoperability of computing systems and applications.

Following the traditions of the previous successful ICA3PP conferences held
in Hangzhou, Brisbane, Singapore, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Beijing, Cyprus,
Taipei, Busan, Melbourne, Fukuoka, Vietri sul Mare, Dalian,Japan,
Zhangjiajie, and Granada, ICA3PP 2017 will be held in Helsinki, Finland.
The objective of ICA3PP 2017 is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry and governments to advance the
theories and technologies in parallel and distributed computing. ICA3PP
2017 will focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing,
i.e., architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications.
The conference of ICA3PP 2017 is co-organized by Aalto University, Finland
and Xidian University, China.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

To be held in Exeter, England, UK, 21-23 June 2017.

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS and SPECIAL SESSIONS

=======================================
General Information:
International Conferences (I-SPAN-2017 and FCST-2017) invite proposals for Workshops (WS) and Special Sessions (SS) to be held in conjunction with the conferences. The aim is to provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers related to the main topics of the conferences. The papers will be required to meet the same standards as the main conference papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, available on IEEE Xplore. Normally, an SS should contain 4 or more papers, and a WS should contain 2 or more sessions (8 or more papers). The organizers of the SS/WS are encouraged to make a plan for post conference special issues in some high-quality international journals.

Proposal submission:
Please send the WS/SS proposals (in PDF format) to Dr. J. Hu (Email: jiahu9@gmail.com<mailto:jiahu9@gmail.com> ) by 15 December 2016 with the following information:

1. Title and acronym of the WS/SS

2. General description of the WS/SS

3. Objectives, scope, and topics of the WS/SS

4. Names, contacts, and short profiles of the organizers

5. (optional) Plan for post conference special issue

* Journal name

* Contact of the guest editors

General rules for the organizers:
The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of the WS/SS and the conference. The organizers and chairs of the workshop shall have full control on the call for papers, forming of program committees, review and selection of papers as well as planning the workshop program. Once accepted, the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by EI). At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper at the conference. One complimentary registration will be given to the leading chair of each workshop or special session with more than 15 registered papers.

Important Dates:
WS/SS Proposal: 15 December 2016
WS/SS Notification: Within two weeks after receiving a proposal
Submission of papers: 1 March 2017 (could be extended to 22 March 2017)
Notification of acceptance: 22 April 2017
Camera-ready papers: 15 May 2017
Early-bird registration: 15 May 2017
Conference: 21-23 June 2017
