*************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS CoPro 2015 Mini-Symposium on Coordination Programming http://www.parco2015.org/coordination-programming Edinburgh, UK September 1, 2015 Submission deadline: July 3, 2015 *************************************************************************** PART OF ParCo 2015 17th International Conference on Parallel Computing http://www.parco2015.org/ Edinburgh, UK September 1-4, 2015 *************************************************************************** Coordination programming is a term that everybody seems to have a vague idea about, but only a few have a definite view on. And among those there is a great deal of divergence in understanding what coordination is all about. In this mini-symposium we intend to look at various interpretations of, and approaches to, coordination: from the conventional tuple-space, Linda-inspired constructions, such as CnC, to behavioural models such as Reo, to more recent attempts to see a coordination program as a projection of the full semantics of a distributed application that can be more or less accurately inferred at compile time and which affects resource- and performance-critical parameters. The mini-symposium will serve as a forum for building bridges between the various directions of research and will help us to share experiences and build a community geared towards practical applications of coordination programming. *************************************************************************** SCOPE: The mini-symposium will address, but is not limited to, the following issues through contributed papers and a panel-style discussion session included in the programme: * Why does coordination require a coordination language? Is there a kind of analysis that is impeded by the lack of specific coordination-language constructs? * Inference vs adaptation. What can be inferred and how should the coordination program adapt to the resource situation in parallel and distributed systems? * What kind of tuning or self-tuning facilities should/can coordination programming approaches require/possess? * What is the relationship between control-coordination and data-coordination? * How can coordination programming address the challenges of cloud computing, big data processing/analysis and mixed-criticality cyberphysical systems? * What are recent success stories in applying coordination programming to real-life applications? *************************************************************************** PROCEEDINGS: CoPro 2015 solicits original research papers written in English. Being a mini-symposium our focus is on bringing together researchers interested in all aspects of coordination programming. We explicitly encourage all sorts of contributions from mature research to position papers, work in progress and crazy ideas. For the initial submission extended abstracts of at least 2 pages are equally fine. Titles, authors and abstracts of all papers accepted by the mini-symposium will appear in the ParCo book of abstracts, which will distributed at the conference. All papers presented during the mini-symposium will be included in the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Parallel Computing (ParCo 2015) and published as a volume of the series Advances of Parallel Computing after the ParCo conference. *************************************************************************** PAPER PREPARATION GUIDELINES: For CoPro 2015 the same formatting guidelines apply as for the main ParCo conference. Thus, papers must be formatted in ParCo style and not exceed 10 pages. For style files and all further details see http://www.parco2015.org/information-authors *************************************************************************** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: CoPro 2015 makes use of the EasyChair conference management system to process all submissions and to organise the reviewing process.
