SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The resolution of complex problems often requires the use advanced approximate algorithms and huge computational resources to find accurate solutions in reasonable time. We look for high quality publications proposing parallel soft computing techniques designed for large parallel systems as Grid or cluster computing. Additionally, works proposing novel soft computing/metaheuristic algorithms applied to solve complex problems in the context of Grid and cluster computing are of interest too. Therefore, the topics covered by this track include (but are not limited to) the following ones:

- Soft computing techniques for real-world problems - Soft computing tools and frameworks for cluster and Grid computing - Competitive parallel algorithms - Cooperative parallel algorithms - Massively parallel algorithms - Parallel metaheuristics - Parallel evolutionary algorithms - Performance measures for Grid and Cluster computing - Reliable algorithms on uncertain environments - Parallel algorithms on GPGPU and Clusters of GPGPUs - Test benchmarks - Peer to peer algorithms - Volunteer computing - Ubiquitous computing - Cloud computing - Grid computing - Parallel optimization frameworks - Metaheuristics for scheduling - Complex and real-world problems

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Authors are invited to submit full papers not more than six (6) pages (CPS proceedings manuscripts: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 pt. font size, and number each page. The formatting instructions for authors are available at the IEEE CPS web page: http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps. Prepare your paper in PDF file and submit it electronically to the 3PGCIC-2012 web page in EDAS: https://edas.info/N12011?c=12011.

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and archived in the Digital Library (CSDL, IEEE Xplore, IEEE IEL). Authors will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance.
