5.  Performance Modeling and Simulations
6.  Parallel and distributed algorithms
7.  Concurrency and Parallelism
8.  Distributed Computing
9.  Supercomputing
10. Applications
11. Military Simulations
12. Parallel and Distributed Simulations
13. Distributed Databases
14. Languages, Compilers and Operating Systems
15. Heterogeneous amd Multimedia Systems
16. VLSI Implementations
17. Reliability and Fault Tolerance

Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers. 
Papers that may be submitted for consideration include those
that have not previously been published in another forum, 
or are not currently being published or reviewed by another
journal or conference. All submitted papers will be blind
