The 2007 International Conference on Communications in Computing: CIC
2007

Monte Carlo Resort hotel, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
June 25 - 28, 2007


Submission Date: Feb. 20, 2007


Conference Scope


The International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC)
focuses on the communication requirements directly induced or
required
by computing systems. An essential element of modern day distributed
and high performance computing systems is the trade-off in the amount
of computation versus the amount of communication performed. Certain
applications are inherently communication-intensive. In others,
communication steps may be replaceable with local computations and
vice versa. At the same time, systems resources may support large
communication requirements. In other systems, physical or power
constraints may limit the communication support. This conference
provides a venue for scholarly publication that explores issues
relating to the combined effects of communications and computations
in
the context of modern computing systems. CIC 2007 is part of The 2007
World Congress in Computer Science Computer Engineering, and Applied
Computing (WORLDCOMP'07).


Following the recent broadening of the field of parallel and
distributed computing, CIC covers all current research endeavors in
this field. Submissions are also encouraged from researchers in other
areas of computing and from related areas in physics, computer
engineering or other areas of study whose work supports the focus of
this conference.
