CALL FOR PAPER

 The 1st Workshop on Hardware/Software Support for Parallel an Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing  (SPDSEC-02)

Charlottesville, Virginia, September 22-25, 2002

 in conjunction with

The 11th International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques


Scope and Interests:

The field of parallel and distributed processing has obtained prominence through advances in electronic and integrated technologies beginning in the 1940s.  Current times are very exciting and the years to come will witness a proliferation in the use of parallel and distributed systems, or supercomputers. The scientific and engineering application domains have a key role in shaping future research and development activities in academia and industry.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum for computer scientists, computational scientists and engineers, applied mathematicians, and researchers to present, discuss, and exchange research-related ideas, results, works-in-progress, and experiences in the areas of architectural, compilation, and language support for problems in science and engineering applications.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:


Submission Information:

     Authors are expected to submit a paper of at most 15 pages in either PS or PDF format via electronic mail to the workshop organizers (lyang@stfx.ca or sun@cs.iit.edu) or three hard copies via post.  Program committee members and external reviewers will provide authors with at least three reviews.  Papers will be ranked for relevance to the workshop and technical merit. All accepted papers will be appeared as a special issue of Parallel Processing Letters journal and the extended version of paper to a Kluwer book series on parallel and distributed computing has been scheduled.
