Proposal Submission Deadline - June 30, 2013

The penetration of parallel and distributed computer (PDC) technology into the daily lives of users via their wireless networks, smartphones, social networking sites and more, has made it imperative to impart a broad-based skill set in PDC technology at various levels in the educational fabric. However, the rapid advances in computing technology and services challenges educators’ abilities to know what to teach in any given semester. Other stakeholders in the push to cope with fast-changing PDC technology, including employers, face similar challenges in identifying basic expertise. The curricular guidelines developed by the NSF/TCPP working group seek to address this challenge in a manner that is flexible and broad, with allowance for variations in emphasis in response to different institutions and different curricular cultures.  For more information, please visit http://www.cs.gsu.edu/~tcpp/curriculum/?q=home.
