It will feature session presentations, workshops, tutorials and keynote speeches. ISPA-09 is sponsored by IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and IEEE Computer Society. 2 Scope and topics The Conference invites papers on all aspects of Parallel/Distributed Computing and Networking, and their applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

·  Virtualization techniques, tools, and applications

·  Computer networks

·  Network routing and communication algorithms

·  Parallel/distributed system architectures

·  Tools and environments for software development

·  Parallel/distributed algorithms

·  Distributed systems and applications

·  Wireless networks, mobile and pervasive computing

·  Reliability, fault-tolerance, and security

·  Performance evaluation and measurements

·  Grid and cluster computing

·  Internet computing and web services

·  Database applications and data mining
