Description
>From IPPS'98 that was held in Orlando, Florida, in April 1998, it appears
that Java is becoming more and more important for the IPPS/SPDP community,
i.e. for parallel and distributed computing. Many of the papers that were
presented in Orlando referred to Java. Furthermore the attendance of the
tutorial on Parallel and Distributed Computing Using Java that was given
there clearly demonstrated the widespread interest.
The success of other workshops focusing on Java also shows the importance of
the topic. The ACM 1998 Workshop on Java for High-Performance Network
Computing that was held at the University of Stanford, Palo Alto,
California, February 28th and March 1st, 1998 (following Syracuse in 1996
and Las Vegas in 1997) is a notable example. This workshop focused on high
performance computing. This inspired the UK workshop on Java for High
Performance Network Computing that was held in Septembre 1998 at the
University of Southampton.
This workshop focuses on Java for parallel and distributed computing and
supportive environments. One of its aims is to bring together the IPPS/SPDP
community around Java, and to provide an opportunity to share experience and
views of current trends and activity in the domain.
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
* Java for parallel and distributed computing;
* Programming/communication/distribution libraries;
* Software tools and environments;
* Code transformations, compilers, etc.;
* Real world distributed and parallel applications based on Java;
* Reflection
* Meta-computing, and Internet applications Standardization
* Theoretical foundations, formal methods Compiler technology, and
performance issues
* Real-time applications Multi-agent systems
* Data mining Financial applications
* Software portability, components, and reuse Standards for object
interoperability
* ...
Papers that describe existing implementations or work in progress, or
outline new problems or important issues are also welcome. The number of
accepted papers will be limited to approximately ten. All accepted papers
will be presented at the workshop and published as joint proceedings for all
IPPS/SPDP workshops in the Springer LNCS series.

Submission Guidelines
Papers should not exceed 7500 words (approximately 15 pages), including
figures and references. All accepted papers will be presented at the
workshop and published as joint proceedings for all IPPS/SPDP workshops in
the Springer LNCS series. They will also be available on the proceedings
CD-rom.
All papers will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and
clarity. It is essential to identify what was accomplished, explain its
significance, and include a comparison with previous work. Authors should
make every effort to make the technical content of their papers
understandable to a broad audience. If any author has published or presented
on a related topic in a journal or a previous conference, the summary should
explain how it advances such previous work.
Papers must describe work not previously published in refereed venues.
Simultaneous submission to this workshop and another publication outlet
(conference or journal) will be considered as grounds for rejection.
* Submissions consist of a 100-200 word ASCII summary and a 7500 word
paper, not to exceed 15 pages in LNCS format, including figures and
references. Submissions must be either electronic (encouraged) or
postal (discouraged). We strongly encourage authors to use the LNCS
guidelines for preparing their papers since this will be a requirement
if the paper is accepted.
* Electronic submissions must be received by 5:00 PM Middle European
Time, Friday, October 30, 1998. Submissions may be sent as a single
e-mail message (up to 1.6MB) to one of the co-chairs (MIME attachments
are allowed). The message should contain the filled out submission
form, the ASCII summary, and the paper. The paper should be in
Postscript form, which must be interpretable by Ghostscript. The
Postscript must use standard fonts, or include the necessary fonts, and
must be prepared for USLetter (8.5"x11") or A4 page sizes (preferably
along the LNCS guidelines). Electronic submissions are successful if
acknowledged by a receipt message by Monday, November 2, 1998. If you
do not get this acknowledgement by then but you sent a contribution in
time, please get in touch with us via e-mail or phone no later than
Tuesday, November 3, 1998.
* If your submission exceeds 1.6MB, you can either split your mail into
multiple messages (discouraged) or upload the Postscript via anonymous
ftp (encouraged) to the ftp://ftp.u-bordeaux.fr/incoming/javapdc/
directory. Ftp submissions should use the first author's last name plus
a 4 digit random number as base filenames (plus extensions) for their
Postscript files. Notice that incoming files are invisible to directory
listings, so do not worry if you cannot see your uploaded file! Ftp
uploads should be followed by an e-mail message as specified before,
excluding the Postscript. Authors who cannot meet these requirements
should submit hardcopy by postal mail instead.
* Postal submissions must be sent to one of the co-chairs by airmail and
must be received on or before October 30, 1998; 10 copies (printed
double-sided if possible) must be provided.
These are firm constraints; submissions not meeting the criteria described
above will not be considered.
