Organized by:
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
and the
Center for the Adavanced Study of Algorithms (CASA)
Scope of symposium:
The International Symposium on Parallel
Architectures, Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN)
is a forum for scientists, engineers, and
practitioners throughout the world to exchange
ideas and research results related to the
design, use, analysis, and application of
parallel architectures, algorithms, networks,
and internet technology.

held:
I-SPAN 1994: in Kanazawa, Japan, on December
14-16, 1994
I-SPAN 1996: in Beijing, China,
on June 12-14, 1996
I-SPAN 1997: in Taipei,
Taiwan, on December 18-20, 1997
I-SPAN 1999:
in Perth/Freemantle, Australia, on June 23-25,
1999
I-SPAN 2000: in Dallas/Richardson,
Texas, USA, on December 7-9, 2000
I-SPAN
2002: in Manila, the Philippines, on May 23-25,
2002
I-SPAN 2004: in Hong Kong on May 10-12,
2004
The 8th I-SPAN symposium will be held in
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on December 7-9,
2005.
Las Vegas is a city that has something for
everyone. While you are here, make sure to see
all the great attractions the city of Las Vegas
has to offer. Recognized all over the world, our
famous Strip is where tourists can enjoy a walk
in the warm desert evening, or take a stroll
downtown and view a dazzling light show that
spans an entire street — the Fremont Street
Experience. You can also get a glimpse of
amazing world famous re-creations like erupting
volcanoes, the Eiffel Tower and the Sphinx of
Egypt.
Las Vegas offers top quality
entertainment, attractions, shopping and
world-renowned resorts. Las Vegas nightlife will
keep you up until dawn and art displays, music
and museums take you on a journey from the
classic to the contemporary. Downtown Las Vegas
offers an energetic display of color with a bit
of nostalgia and a glimpse of the future.
I-SPAN 2005 will include keynote addresses,
invited/contributed papers, workshops, and
special sessions on on-going projects on
high-performance computing and/or
communications.
