We consider several graph theoretic kernels for connectivity and centrality and discuss how the features of petascale architectures will affect algorithm development, ease of programming, performance, and scalability.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIPDPS is considered the premier academic conference in the areas of parallel and distributed computing.\u00a0 This year\u0027s symposium held from March 26-30 in Long Beach, CA, was met with record attendance with over 650 attendees and included 109 peer-reviewed papers in its highly-competitive main track, four keynote talks and over 20 workshops. Being highly regarded by the professional community as the annual meeting for top research results in the field, IPDPS had strong international participation with approximately equal attendance from the U.S., Europe and Asia.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe College of Computing had strong participation at the symposium, with 20 activities related to the College:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003ETECHNICAL PAPERS\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EInternational Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) 2007:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpam-Resilient Web Rankings via Influence Throttling\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E \t\tJames Caverlee, Steve Webb and Ling Liu\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERF2ID: A Reliable Middleware Framework for RFID Deployment\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E \t\tNova Ahmed, Rajnish Kumar, Robert Steven French and Umakishore Ramachandran\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOn the Design and Analysis of Irregular Algorithms on the Cell Processor: A Case Study of List Ranking\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E \t\tDavid A.
