Dear All,

Please note: The paper submission deadline has been extended to July
10, 2008.


Please find attached the Call For Papers for:

International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and
Applications (ISPA 2008) -
Workshop on High Performance and Grid Computing in Medicine and Biology
(HiPGCoMB)

        Sydney, Australia, December 10-12, 2008

        http://sara.unile.it/hipgcomb08/
        http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~ispa2008/

       sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

HiPCoMB-2008 brings together researchers in computer science and
engineering, medicine, and biology that use high performance and grid
computing to solve computationally expensive problems in medicine and
biology. The workshop will provide a forum for presenting and exchanging
new ideas and experiences in this area.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES:

Paper submission - Extended deadline:           July 10, 2008
Author Notification:        August 15, 2008
Camera-Ready Papers:  September 15, 2008

A short extended deadline is also allowed. Please to contact me

SUBMISSION INFORMATION:

Talks will  be accepted on the  basis of a  paper of  6 pages IEEE CS
format that describes the work, its significance, and the current status
of the  research.  Submit one  electronic copy of the paper in PostScript
or PDF format by June 25, 2008.  Please visit the workshop home page for
submission instructions
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ispa08) or send me an email
with the pdf file as attachment.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the
paper be accepted,  at least one of the authors will register and attend
the conference.

Otherwise papers will be removed from the IEEE CS digital library.

Notification of acceptance  will be  given by August 15, 2008,  and
camera-ready papers  will be due  September 15, 2008. Accepted papers will
be given  guidelines in  preparing  and    submitting the   final
manuscript(s) together  with  the   notification  of acceptance.   All
accepted papers  will  be presented at  the  workshop  and included in
proceedings that will  be distributed at  the workshop.  In  addition,
authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to submit
extended versions  of their papers for publication  in a special issue of
