Session 2: How to catalog Body of Knowledge (BoK) in an area?

Questions to Motivate Discussion

• What sources - conf., journals, monographs, new tools, HW/SW, experts, etc - contain the BoK in Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC)?

• Who determines these sources?• Why is something in/not in BoK?• How have we managed the BoK in PDC?• What are the BoK categories (topics)?• Does any category need special treatment in

identifying the BoK?

BoK Categories?

• Parallel vs distributed vs network computing• Theory• Algorithms• Architectures• Programming languages• Hardware and software platforms• Tools• …
