11th International Workshop on
High-Level Parallel Programming Models and
Supportive Environments

held in conjunction with

Rhodes Island, Greece, April 25 2006

Scope:

HIPS 2006 is a full-day workshop to be held at the IPDPS 2006 focusing on high-level programming of parallel and grid architectures. Its goal is to bring together researchers working in the areas of applications, computational models, language design, compilers, system architecture, and programming tools to discuss new developments in programming such systems.

One of the keys for a (commercial) breakthrough of parallel processing and grid computing are techniques that facilitate efficient usage of such environments. This covers, for example, programming languages, programming tools, system middleware, as well as communication libraries. These techniques have to be integrated to provide a full solution to the problem. This integration is the topic HIPS is devoted too. We are looking for papers that, for example, present new performance analysis tools that are closely linked to the programming model, supportive tools for workflow programming on Grids, or the integration of languages for service-level agreements with grid applications and resource brokers.

Topics of interest:

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Concepts and languages for parallel and Grid programming
  • Concurrent object-oriented programming
  • Hybrid programming, e.g. OpenMP/MPI, components/MPI
  • Extensions to traditional programming models, e.g. MPI and OpenMP
  • Grid workflow programming
  • Application development environment for service-oriented architectures
  • Mobile agents
  • Component-based programming
• Supportive techniques on system level
  • Architectural and communication support
  • Compiler techniques
  • Runtime systems
  • System monitoring
  • Languages and tools for resource management
• Supportive techniques on application level
  • Application monitoring
  • Performance analysis, and optimization
  • Automatic performance analysis support
  • Integrated programming environments

Papers should describe the interaction of high-level programming environments with supportive tools on system- or application-level.

Schedule and Submission Procedure:
