WORKSHOP THEME:

Networks of computers are the most common and available parallel
architecture now. Unlike dedicated parallel computer systems, networks
are inherently heterogeneous. They consist of diverse computers of
different performances interconnected via heterogeneous network
equipment providing communication links with different latencies and
bandwidths. Traditional parallel algorithms and tools are aimed at
homogeneous multiprocessors and cannot be efficiently used for parallel
computing on heterogeneous networks. New ideas, dedicated algorithms
and tools are needed to efficiently use this new type of parallel
architectures. The workshop is intended to be a forum for people
working on algorithms, programming languages, tools, and theoretical
models aimed at efficient problem solutions on heterogeneous networks.

IMPORTANT DATES:

June 1: Paper Submissions Due, use http://www.easychair.org/HeteroPar07/
Jul 6: Papers Acceptance Notification
Jul 20: Camera-ready Papers Due

WORKSHOP SCOPE:

The topics to be covered include but are not limited to:

-- Heterogeneous parallel programming paradigms and models;
-- Languages, libraries and interfaces for different heterogeneous parallel programming models;
-- Performances models and their integration into the design of efficient
parallel algorithms for heterogeneous networks;
-- Parallel algorithms for efficient solving problems onheterogeneous
networks (numerical linear algebra, nonlinear systems, fast transforms, data mining, etc.);
-- Software engineering for heterogeneous parallel systems;
-- Applications on heterogeneous networks;
-- Integration of parallel and distributed computing on heterogeneous
networks of computers (including multi-core architectures and GPU's);
-- Experience of porting parallel software from supercomputers to
heterogeneous networks;
-- Fault tolerance of parallel computations on heterogeneous networks;
-- Algorithms, models and tools for high performance computing on global
networks (grids).

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

HeteroPar’07 invites authors to submit full papers (pdf format) presenting
original and unpublished research by June 1st, 2007, using the following webpage
http://www.easychair.org/HeteroPar07/
Submissions should consist of:

-- A cover page with the author's full name, address, fax number and e-mail address;
-- A 100-word abstract and keywords;
-- A paper describing original research in no more than 15 single-spaced
numbered pages using 12 point font on 8.5x11-inch pages with 1-inch margins all around;
--An optional appendix, with more details to be read/consulted at the
discretion of the Program Committee.

All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee and outside referees.
