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 …
