                          Call for Papers
                          ---------------             


        Multiprocessor systems provide considerable computational power that can
be used to solve problems with large memory and computational requirements. 
However, jobs are not always executed efficiently. Good scheduling policies can 
improve system performance, preserve individual application performance, and
avoid unbounded delays. 
        
        The availability of multiprocessor systems and wide diversity of hardware 
and software resources used in them makes the arbitration of requirements and 
management of resources difficult. Schedulers must determine where and when
applications are to execute, i.e., on which processors and in what order. 

        The most practical way to evaluate scheduling algorithms without 
constructing a full scale implementation is by using modeling and simulation. 
Simulation models can help determine performance bottlenecks inherent to the 
architecture and provide a basis for refining system configurations. 



Scope 
-----

This SPECTS 2001 Special Session is a forum to present the latest results of
international researchers. The focus of this technical session is on 
Modeling and Simulation Methodologies applied to the Scheduling of Multiprocesssors.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

.       Scheduling of multiprogrammed parallel systems
.       Coshecduling of applications on multiple processors
.       Load-balancing and load-sharing
.       Scheduling of shared-memory/distributed shared-memory systems.
.       Scheduling of parallel applications within distributed systems (e.g. clusters)
.       Scheduling Methods for Networks of Workstations
.       Scheduling of heterogeneous processors


Paper Submission
---------------- 

It is strongly recommended that papers be submitted by email to the session organizer
Helen Karatza (karatza@csd.auth.gr) in postscript or PDF format.  Do not submit papers
that have been previously published or presented.  All papers will be refereed for
accuracy, technical content and relevance to multiprocessor scheduling.

Submissions should not exceed 25 double-spaced, 8.5x11 inch pages (including figures, 
tables, and references) in 10-12 point font. Include five to ten keywords, complete 
postal and e-mail return addresses, as well as the fax and phone numbers of each author.


Deadlines
---------

Submission of Papers - February 28, 2001
Notification of Acceptance - April 22, 2000
Final Camera-Ready Submission - May 22, 2000
