Author Description

Contains 40 papers from the December 2000 symposium that focuses on the design, use, analysis, and application of parallel architectures, algorithms, and networks. The main subjects are routing, fault tolerance, scheduling, ad-hoc networks, and broadcasting. Some of the topics are a parallel tabu search and its hybridization with genetic algorithms, reconfigurable mesh-connected processor arrays using row-column bypassing and direct replacement, three-dimensional embedding of binary trees, optimal one-to-many disjoint paths in folded hypercubes, wavelength assignments in WDM rings with splitable lightpaths, and performance metrics for IP multicast routing.
