Subject: Workshop in Melbourne on Java in Computational Science
Call For Papers
WORKSHOP ON JAVA IN COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE
Held in conjunction with the
International Conference on Computational Science 2003 (ICCS 2003)
June 2 - 4, 2003
Melbourne, Australia
Workshop co-chairs
Andrew Wendelborn and Paul Coddington
(University of Adelaide)
BACKGROUND
The Java programming language is widely used for commercial
applications and in teaching programming, but its uptake in scientific
computing has been limited.
Advantages of Java include portability, modern object-oriented
technology, and in-built support for thread parallelism, although
there is a perception that it lacks performance relative to other
languages.
The purpose of this workshop is to enable, firstly, computational
scientists to report experiences in using Java for computational
science and high-performance computing, and secondly, researchers in
high-performance Java to share recent advances with the computational
science community. Topics will include applications, performance and
benchmarking, parallel computing, and supporting technologies.
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS
This is a general call for papers about Java in Computational
Science. We invite papers involving the use of Java in developing and
supporting scientific applications. In addition, papers related to
advances in supporting technologies, such as Java compiler techniques
for high-performance computing, will be of interest.
Topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited to:
o High-performance computing applications using Java;
o Performance issues and benchmarking;
o Advances in parallel and distributed programming using Java;
o Java tools in scientific applications (portals etc);
o Advances in Java technologies supporting HPC;
o Optimisation technologies;
o Problem Solving Environments;
o Visualization.
TIMESCALES FOR SUBMISSION ** revised **
The two principal deadlines are:
6th January 2003: notify title and abstract to co-chairs *
13th January 2003: submission of final paper to co-chairs *
* please send to both because we will be on holidays at the time, and this will make it easier to respond to email.
