CALL FOR PAPERS
20th IEEE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE,
COMPUTING,AND COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE (IPCCC 2001)
April 4-6, 2001
Embassy Suites Phoenix North, Phoenix, Arizona
http://www.ipccc.org/ipccc2001

 International Performance, Computing, and Communications Conference (IPCCC) is the premier IEEE conference presenting research in the performance of computer and communication systems. For the last two decades, IPCCC has been a research forum for academic, industrial, and government researchers. The lively interactions among the researchers from these merging fields provide a stimulating environment rich with new ideas. 

Pervasive Computing has been chosen as the underlying theme for the 2001 conference topics in expectation of explosive growth in mobile and nomadic computing for secure access to information and services. We encourage submission of high quality papers reporting original work in both theoretical and experimental research that addresses the recent advances in algorithms, architectures, protocols, network infrastructure, embedded systems and wireless computing in support of the emerging world of billions of people interacting with trillions of devices.

The conference is planning a trip to the Grand Canyon for conference participants.
