Our department had two papers in the list of just 20 papers selected to represent the most influential papers in the history of The International ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC).

To mark the first 20 years of the symposium, members of the HPDC community were invited to nominate what they felt were the top papers. A committee then looked more carefully at the nominated papers and nominator recommendations to select the top group of 20 papers. A special proceedings issue containing these papers will be produced and distributed at HPDC'12, the 21st to be held June 20-22 in Delft, the Netherlands.

These two papers are:

1. Condor-G: A Computation Management Agent For Multi-institutional Grids by James Frey, Todd Tannenbaum, Miron Livny, Ian Foster, Steven Tuecke.
2. Matchmaking: Distributed Resource Management for High Throughput Computing by Rajesh Raman, Miron Livny, Marvin Solomon.
