Final call for papers for the workshop on
Parallel/High-Performance Object-Oriented
Scientific Computing (POOSC'01)
14 October 2001
at the
ACM Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems,
Languages, and Applications (OOPSLA'01)
14-18 October 2001, Tampa Bay, Florida, USA
and
Call for papers for a special issue of the journal
Scientific Programming
While object-oriented programming is being embraced in industry,
particularly in the form of C++ and to an increasing extent Java,
its acceptance by the parallel scientific programming community is
tentative at best. In this latter domain performance is invariably
of paramount importance, where even the transition from FORTRAN 77
to C is incomplete, primarily because of performance loss. On the
other hand, three factors together practically dictate the use of
language features that provide better paradigms for abstraction:
increasingly complex numerical algorithms, application requirements,
and hardware (e.g. deep memory hierarchies, numbers of processors,
communication and I/O).
This workshop seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers
in this emerging field to 'compare notes' on their work. The emphasis
is on identifying specific problems impeding greater acceptance and
widespread use of object-oriented programming in scientific computing,
and proposed and implemented solutions to these problems, though
'experience' papers are welcome if they present a lesson to be learned.
Work-in-progress descriptions are welcome.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- tried or proposed programming language alternatives to C++;
- performance issues and their realized or proposed resolution;
- issues specific to handling or abstracting parallelism;
- specific points of concern for progress and acceptance of
object-oriented scientific computing;
- existing, developing, or proposed software;
- frameworks and tools for scientific object-oriented computing.
All papers will be archived at the POOSC'01 WWW site and printed as a
Los Alamos National Laboratory technical report for distribution at
the workshop. Authors will retain copyright.
Workshop participants may submit contributed papers to a special issue
of the journal Scientific Programming. These papers will be subject to
the usual review process for the journal. Papers will be due six weeks
after the workshop.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Prospective authors are invited to submit abstracts in PDF or postscript.
Any common encoding (MIME or uuencode) or compression (zip, gzip) is
acceptable. Authors of accepted papers are responsible for submitting the
final version using the Springer LNCS LaTeX template by September 30 to
ensure inclusion in the proceedings. Submission and email correspondence to
poosc01_at_[hidden] .
