5th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on High-level Parallel Programming and Applications Tokyo, September 18, 2011 Affiliated to ICFP 2011 http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2011 Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN http://www.hlpp-workshop.org/hlpp2011 AIMS AND SCOPE As processor and system manufacturers adjust their roadmaps towards increasing levels of both inter and intra-chip parallelism, so the urgency of reorienting the mainstream software industry towards these architectures grows. At present, popular parallel and distributed programming methodologies are 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. This workshop provides a forum for discussion and research about such high-level approaches to parallel programming. TOPICS We welcome submission of original, unpublished papers in English on topics including (but not limited to) the following aspects of multi-core, parallel, distributed, grid and cloud computing: * High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.) and 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 * Applications using high-level languages and tools * Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods PROGRAMME COMMITTEE * PC Chair: Kiminori Matsuzaki (Kochi University of Technology, Japan) * PC Members: o Jeremiah Willcock (Indiana University, USA) o Pavan Balaji (Argonne National Laboratory, USA) o Rita Loogen (University of Marburg, Germany) o Shinichi Yamagiwa (Kochi University of Technology, Japan) o Susanna Pelagatti (University of Pisa, Italy) o Sven-Bodo Scholz (University of Herfordshire, UK) o Tasuku Hiraishi (Kyoto University, Japan) o Wei Ngan Chin (National University of Singapore, Singapore) IMPORTANT DATES * Submission: *June 16th, 2011 at 23:59 GMT* * Notification: July 1st, 2011 * Final version: July 11th, 2011
