Dear Student, Make plans to attend the 24 th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) 2010 at the Downtown Sheraton Hotel in Atlanta the week of 19-23 April. Register by February 28th at Discounted Advance Fees. The five day program features nineteen workshops on Monday and Friday. The three days in between include: 127 regular conference papers in 32 technical sessions, including a best-paper session; 3 keynote speakers and a panel discussion; 20 PhD Forum posters; 2 evening tutorials; and the conference banquet. IPDPS participants include researchers from over 25 countries working in all areas of parallel and distributed processing, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. The nineteen workshops explore special topics and present work that is more preliminary or speculative than the more mature research presented in the main symposium. The PhD Forum introduces emerging research efforts. All IPDPS events are open to all IPDPS attendees, and the weeklong schedule and single venue offer many informal opportunities to confer with other participants. This year, IPDPS is pleased to acknowledge the commercial participation of CRAY, Elsevier, Google, IBM and NVIDIA. Keynote speakers include Kunle Olukotun (Stanford), Peter Sanders (Karlsruhe), and Burton Smith (Microsoft).
