Such systems are now readily available as their price/performance ratio continues to improve. The rapid development of affordable hardware for parallel computing makes the need to develop high-quality parallel software increasingly urgent. Sequential programming has long benefited from high-level programming techniques and tools that have made today's immense range of software economically viable. Two decades of research into high-level parallel programming has produced methods and tools that improve the price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of target applications. GRIDs offer a tremendous computing power. Nevertheless, this power is far from being effectively exploited. In addition to technical problems related to portability and access, Grid computing needs new programming paradigms. Research on high level grid programming is particularly relevant. This workshop follows HLPP 2001 and is aimed at - computer science researchers, practitioners, graduate students - scientific computing researchers, practitioners, graduate students - high-performance application developers (e.g. in DBMS, data-mining, parallel model checking, virtual reality) Programme committee and organisers ---------------------------------- Rob Bisseling (Netherlands) Murray Cole (United Kingdom) Gaetan Hains (France) Herbert Kuchen (Germany) Frederic Loulergue (France) Quentin Miller (United Kingdom) Susanna Pelagatti (Italy) David Skillicorn (Canada) Contact : Frederic Loulergue (LACL, France) <loulergue@univ-paris12.fr> Papers and Publication ---------------------- We welcome submission of original, unpublished papers in English on topics including (but not limited to) - programming models and tools for GRID computing - algorithmic skeletons and parallel libraries - applications in all fields of high-performance computing - cost modelling (BSP, LogP, etc.) - experience with high-level tools and methods - object, functional, logic, constraint programming for parallel systems - parallel language design and implementation - parallel program design and optimisation Accepted papers should be presented at the workshop and will be published in special issues of Parallel Processing Letters, World Scientific Publishing (provided revisions suggested by the referees are made). Submission ---------- Papers should be sent to loulergue@univ-paris12.fr with subject "hlpp2003 submission" no later than Friday 18 April 2003.
