CIT 2011
--------
CIT has become a primary venue for researchers and industry 
practitioners to discuss open problems, 

new research directions, and 
real-world case studies on all aspects of computer and information 

technology. CIT is soliciting original, previously unpublished and high 
quality papers addressing 

research challenges and advances spanning over the multidisciplinary aspects of information technology, 

computing 
science and computer engineering. The topics of the conference include, 
but are not limited to, 

broadly understood:

- Computer and System Architecture
- High Performance Computing
- Utility Computing
- Cloud Computing
- Ubiquitous Computing
- Software Engineering
- Computer Networks
- Telecommunications
- Artificial Intelligence and Multi-Agent Systems
- Computer Graphics/Image Processing
- Information Visualization
- Information Security
- Management of Data and Database Systems
- New Web Technology and Applications
- IT in e-Health, e-Business, e-Learning, e-Government


ScalCom 2011
------------
Scalability is a primary consideration in the design and implementation 
of computing and communication 

systems. The rapid increases in the 
volume of information that needs to be processed by computers 

necessitates new architectures, software, algorithms, and tools to 
improve scalability.

ScalCom-11 aims at providing an international forum for researchers and 
practitioners to discuss original 

ideas on all aspects of scalability in computing. ScalCom-11 is soliciting original, previously unpublished 

work addressing research challenges and presenting advances in the 
design and implementation 

of scalable computing and communication 
systems.

The conference solicits papers broadly categorized in two tracks, Distributed Computing Systems and 

Parallel Computing Systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Distributed Computing Systems

-Distributed computing paradigms (cloud, grid, P2P, and utility computing)
-Data management and data centers
-Sensor networks and applications
-Wireless and mobile computing
-Internet-based computing, protocols, and applications
-Security and privacy issues in distributed computing
-Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
-Algorithms
-System software (programming environments, OS, middleware)
-Applications and tools

Scalable Parallel Computing

-Multi-core architectures
-Graphics processors and accelerators
-Interconnection networks
-Compilers, programming models, and runtime environments
-Operating systems and virtual machine monitors
-Parallel I/O and storage systems
-Exascale computing systems
-Fault tolerance, reliability and dependability
-Green parallel computing
-Applications and tools


Proceedings
-----------

The conferences proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society.


Important Dates
---------------

Submission Deadline: April 15, 2011 *** Extended Deadline ***
Notification of Acceptance: May 15, 2011
Camera-ready papers due: May 31, 2011


Paper Submission Guidelines
---------------------------

All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format. The 
material presented 

should be original and not published or under 
submission elsewhere. Authors should 

submit full papers of up to 8 
pages, following strictly the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings 

Manuscript style (available at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting),
using two-column, single-space format, with 10-point font size. Figures 
and references 

must be included in the 8 pages. Oversized papers will be automatically rejected by the 

PC chairs. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register early to attend 

the conference, in 
order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings.
