=========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS HLPP 2014 7th International Symposium on High-level Parallel Programming and Applications Amsterdam, Netherlands July 3-4, 2014 https://sites.google.com/site/hlpp2014amsterdam/ =========================================================================== Aims and scope: As processor and system manufacturers increase the amount of both inter- and intra-chip parallelism it becomes crucial to provide the software industry with high-level, clean and efficient tools for parallel programming. Parallel and distributed programming methodologies are currently dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms. Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism. Since 2001 the HLPP series of workshops/symposia has been a forum for researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts, tools and applications for high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software quality, programming productivity and high-level performance models. The 7th Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications will be held July 3-4 in the historic center of Amsterdam. =========================================================================== Proceedings: Accepted papers will be distributed as informal draft proceedings during the symposium. All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a special issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP). =========================================================================== Important dates: Submission deadline: April 4 (anywhere on earth) Author notification: May 1 Camera-ready paper due: June 16 =========================================================================== Topics: HLPP 2014 invites papers on all topics in high-level parallel programming, its tools and applications including, but not limited to, the following aspects: + High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.) and their tools + Declarative parallel programming methodologies + Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods + Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries: semantics and implementation + Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs + Software synthesis, automatic code generation for parallel programming + Model-driven software engineering with parallel programs + High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms + High-level parallel methods for large datasets + Applications of parallel systems using high-level languages and tools + Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods =========================================================================== Paper preparation and submission: Papers submitted to HLPP2014 must describe original research results and must not have been published or simultaneously submitted anywhere else. Manuscripts must be prepared with the Springer IJSS latex macro package and submitted via the EasyChair Conference Management System. The strict page limit for initial submission and camera-ready version is 20 pages in the aforementioned format. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews by members of the international technical programme committee (see below). Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and quality of presentation. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the HLPP 2014 symposium and present the paper. =========================================================================== Programme committee: Marco Aldinucci, University of Torino, Italy Jost Berthold, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Rob Bisseling, Utrecht University, Netherlands Murray Cole, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom Joel Falcou, MetaScale / Université Paris-Sud, France Clemens Grelck, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands (Chair) Gaétan Hains, Université Paris-Est, France Zhenjiang Hu, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Youry Khmelevsky, University of British Columbia Okanagan, Canada Herbert Kuchen, University of Münster, Germany Kiminori Matsuzaki, Kochi University of Technology, Japan Frank Penczek, Intel Ulm, Germany Susanna Pelagatti, University of Pisa, Italy Tiark Rompf, Google / Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland Francisco de Sande, University of La Laguna, Spain Kostis Sagonas, Uppsala University, Sweden Vijay Saraswat, IBM Thomas J.
