CALL FOR PAPERS

Euro-Par '98

Southampton, UK Sept 1-4, 1998

Workshop 18: Programming Models and Methods

Programme Committee:

General Chair: Christian Lengauer (Passau, Germany)

Local Chair: Murray Cole (Edinburgh, UK)

Vice-Chair: Beverly Sanders (Florida at Gainesville, USA)

Vice-Chair: Gaétan Hains (Orléans, France)

Description:

Producing correct software is already a difficult task in the sequential context. The challenge is compounded by the conceptual complexity of parallelism and the requirement for high performance. Thus, the topics of this workshop are programming and design models that abstract from low-level programming techniques, present software developers with an interface that reduces the complexity of the parallel software construction task, and support correctness issues. It is also concerned with methodological aspects of developing parallel programs, particularly transformational and calculational approaches, and associated ways of integrating cost information into them. This workshop emphasizes programming. Related workshops are WS04, which emphasizes automation, WS10, which emphasizes computability and complexity, and WS16, which emphasizes language features and their implementation.

Topics of interest:
