SPECIAL SESSION: Distributed Computing and Applications
 
 
SCOPE OF THE SESSION
 
This session will explore and discuss the development of relevant topics 
that are of high importance in distributed systems:
 
- Data distribution and program mapping
- Load balancing
- Congestion control
- Scalability and performance
- High availability
- Routing algorithms
- Convergence
- Constraint based routing
- Policy based routing
 
 
 
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
 
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (about 5 to 
8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) via email to Dr. Hassan 
Hosseini (hhassan at cisco.com <mailto:hhassan at cisco.com>) by Feb. 20, 
2006. E-mail submissions in MS document or PDF formats are preferable 
(Fax or postal submissions are also fine.)  All reasonable typesetting 
formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be 
asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their papers 
for publication.)
 

The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 
(IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or 
currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the 
draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, 
postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for 
each author. The first page should also include the name of the author 
who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 
keywords. Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being 
submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.
 

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and 
soundness.  Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the 
topical area.  The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by the session 
chair.

PURPOSE / HISTORY:
 

CIC'06 is an international conference held simultaneously (ie, same 
location and dates) with a number of other joint conferences as part of 
WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer 
Engineering, and Applied Computing).  WORLDCOMP'06 is the largest annual 
gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and 
applied computing.  Many of the 28 joint conferences in WORLDCOMP are 
the premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective 
fields. WORLDCOMP'06 is composed of the following international 
conferences: Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and 
Applications; Scientific Computing; Grid Computing and Applications; 
Security and Management; Artificial Intelligence; Machine Learning; 
Software Engineering Research and Practice; Programming Languages and 
Compilers; Internet Computing; Semantic Web and Web Services; Computer 
Design; Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications; Embedded Systems 
and Applications; Wireless Networks; Pervasive Systems and Computing; 
Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition; Computer 
Graphics and Virtual Reality; Modeling, Simulation and Visualization 
Methods; Computer Games Development; Frontiers in Education in Computer 
Science and Engineering; Foundations of Computer Science; e-Learning, 
e-Business, Enterprise Information Systems, e-Government, and 
Outsourcing; Data Mining; Information and Knowledge Engineering; 
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology; Computing in Nanotechnology; 
Engineering of Reconfigurable Systems and Algorithms; Communications in 
Computing.
 
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research 
conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place 
at a common time.  The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of 
ideas in a number of research areas that interact.  The model used to 
form these annual conferences facilitates communication among 
researchers in different fields of computer science, computer 
engineering and applied computing.  Both inward research (core areas of 
computer science and engineering) and outward research 
(multi-disciplinary, Inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be 
covered during the conferences.
 
 
LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:
 

The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas, 
Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte 
Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and 
over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the airport with 24-hour 
shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many 
recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools and kiddie 
pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, 
lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, 
sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack 
bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ...  Many of these 
attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for families 
and children. The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very 
reasonable.  The hotel is within walking distance from most other 
attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine 
dining and night clubs, free street shows, ...).
