Introduction

The IEEE ISPA 2017 (15th IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications) is a forum for presenting leading work on parallel and distributed computing and networking, including architecture, compilers, runtime systems, applications, reliability, security, parallel programming models and much more. During the symposium, scientists and engineers in both academia and industry are invited to present their work on concurrent and parallel systems (multicore, multithreaded, heterogeneous, clustered systems, distributed systems, grids, clouds, and large scale machines).

The 15th IEEE ISPA follows the tradition of previous successful IEEE ISPA conferences in the years from 2003 to 2016 in Asia, Europe, Australia and North America. It will feature sessions of regular presentations, workshops, tutorials and keynote speeches. IEEE ISPA 2017 is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and the IEEE Computer Society. IEEE ISPA 2017 is particularly interested in research addressing heterogeneous computing with the use of accelerators, mobile computing, approximate computing, tools and methodologies to improve the quality of parallel programming and applying generic computing approaches to networks, in particular Software Defined networking and its applications.

Submission and Publication Information

All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ispa2017) with PDF format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 8 pages (or up to 12 pages with the pages over length charge), including tables, figures, references and appendixes, in IEEE Computer Society proceedings Format (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html) with Portable Document Format (.pdf).

Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. Accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE CPS Proceedings. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be recommended to high quality international journals.

Part II: Call for Workshop Proposals, IEEE ISPA 2017, Guangzhou, China, December 12-15, 2017
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Workshop Proposals

The IEEE ISPA 2017 Workshops provide vibrant opportunities for academic researchers and industry practitioners to share their research experiences, original research achievements and practical development products on specific new challenges and emerging issues. The themes of the IEEE ISPA 2017 Workshops should be related to the scopes of the IEEE ISPA 2017 main conference, reflecting to advances in all aspects of parallel and distributed systems, theories and applications.

The organizers of the IEEE ISPA 2017 Workshops shall have responsibility of soliciting call for papers, forming program committee on reviewing and selection of papers as well as planning workshop program. The registration fees for workshops will be determined by and paid to the main conference other than the workshops. The main conference will provide workshop facilities including the working notes printing, meeting rooms, coffee breaks, lunches, dinners, proceedings, etc.

The proceedings of the IEEE ISPA 2017 Workshops will be published by IEEE Computer Society (indexed by EI Compendex).

Prospective Workshop Organizers should send a proposal containing the following information to IEEE ISPA 2016 Workshop Chairs via email by May 15, 2017:

 - Title of the workshop (Full name and Abbreviation)
 - Objectives, scopes, and contributions to the main conference (up to 1 page)
 - Short bios of the key organizers and their experiences on conference/workshop organization
 - Procedures for selecting papers, plans for advertising call for papers, and intentions for organizing journal special issues    if possible
 - The expected number of participants
 - A tentative list of program committee members
 - The workshop website URL address if available
 
Approved workshops should strictly follow the Important Dates of the main conference, particularly the Author Notification Date (September 15, 2017) and the Camera-ready Paper Due Date (October 15, 2017). The submission deadline could be later than that of the main conference. But, a workshop should have sufficient time, say 5-7 weeks, for generating peer reviews. Generally, each paper should receive 2 or 3 peer reviews.

Look forward to your stimulating proposals and contributions to IEEE ISPA 2017 Workshops!
