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.
The first eight symposia were held:

- I-SPAN '94: in Kanazawa, Japan, on December 14-16, 1994
- I-SPAN '96: in Beijing, China, on June 12-14, 1996

- I-SPAN 2002: in Manila, the Philippines, on May 23-25, 2002
- I-SPAN 2004: in Hong Kong, China, on May 10-12, 2004
- I-SPAN 2005: in Las Vegas, USA, on December 7-9, 2005

The ninth I-SPAN symposium will be held in Sydney, Australia, on
October 11-13. I-SPAN 2007 will include keynote addresses,
invited/contributed papers, workshops, and special sessions on
on-going projects on high-performance computing and/or communications.
