Dear Haskellers, many of you are using Haskell as a tool for developing parallel programs, are working on parallelizing Haskell compilers, language extensions, or interfaces. If you are involved in parallel programming, I'd strongly encourage you to submit a paper to Topic 10 of Euro-Par 2003. It'll be a good forum to present your work.
Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ****************************************************** *** *** *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** *** Submission Deadline: February 9, 2003 *** *** *** *** EURO-PAR 2003 Topic 10 *** *** Parallel Programming: Models, Methods and *** *** Programming Languages *** *** *** *** Klagenfurt, Austria *** *** August 26-29, 2003 *** *** *** *** http://europar-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ *** *** *** ****************************************************** Description This topic provides a forum for the presentation of the latest research results and practical experience in the development of parallel programs. Advances in algorithmic and programming models, design methods, languages, and interfaces are needed to produce correct, portable parallel software with predictable performance on different parallel and distributed architectures. The topic emphasises results that improve the process of developing high-performance programs, including high-integrity programs that are scalable with both problem size and complexity. Of particular interest are novel techniques by which parallel software can be assembled from reusable parallel components without compromising efficiency. Related to this is the need for parallel software to adapt, both to available resources and to the problem being solved. Where appropriate, contributions should demonstrate quantitative performance results in support of their claims, and address applications not adequately handled by well-established approaches. Focus * Languages, libraries and interfaces for different parallel programming models (e.g. data-parallelism, task-parallelism, functional, object-oriented, logic, component-based etc.). * Implementation and optimisation techniques for innovative parallel languages and programming models (e.g. threads, dataflow, tiling, skeletons, declarative languages, and generalised data-parallel approaches, etc.). * Performance models and their integration into the design of efficient parallel algorithms and programs (e.g. BSP, LogP, CGM, N-half and their alternatives, cost calculi and static performance prediction, profile-driven approaches). * Parallel programming paradigms and tools, their comparison and integration (e.g. data-parallel vs. task-parallel, coordination programming, performance analysis and debugging). * Methodological aspects of developing, optimizing and validating parallel programs (formalisms, semantics, specification, design, transformations, verification, etc.). * Software engineering for parallel and distributed systems (design patterns, portability, robustness, standardization, etc.). * Systematic approaches and programming models to support effective program development in grid environments. * Domain-specific parallel libraries and languages (e.g. for simulation, irregular and unstructured meshes, computational geometry, etc.). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY DATES November 8, 2002 First call for papers February 9, 2003 Final date for submissions May 1, 2003 Notification of acceptance July 15, 2003 Early registration deadline ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PC COMMITTEE Global Chair Prof. José C.
