- Second Workshop on Abstract Machine Models for Highly Parallel Computers
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- University of Leeds, April 14-16 1993
-
- Organised by BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group and
- Leeds University School of Computer Studies
-
- Aim of the Workshop
- -------------------
- Following the first workshop on this theme in 1991, the aim is to provide
- a forum for the discussion of abstract machine models for highly parallel
- computers. Particular attention will be given to the specification,
- implementation and application of such models and to the identification of
- key issues for future research.
-
- Workshop Format
- ---------------
- Invited speakers will give keynote presentations. A selection of submitted
- papers which highlight key themes will also be presented. Working groups
- will focus on major issues identified through submitted papers and position
- statements. The emphasis will be on providing maximum opportunity for
- discussion, interchange of ideas and identifying the most promising areas
- for progress.
-
- The workshop will be restricted to 60 active researchers in relevant fields.
- In the event that more than 60 applications are received, selection will be
- on the basis of position statements or full papers received. All delegates
- will receive duplicated copies of these statements and papers. Selected papers
- will, after suitable revision, be included in an ensuing book from a leading
- publisher.
-
- Invited Speakers include
- ------------------------
- Prof. J. Darlington (Imperial College)
- Prof. J. Gurd (Manchester University)
- Dr. T. Lake (Glossa)
- Dr. W. McColl (Oxford University)
- Dr. A. Shafarenko (Surrey University)
-
- Programme Chair
- ---------------
- Prof. P. M. Dew (Leeds University)
-
- Local Organiser
- ---------------
- Mr. J. R. Davy (Leeds University)
-
-
- Submitting Papers
- -----------------
- Potential participants are asked to submit EITHER a short position statement
- (no more than 2 sides of A4) OR a full paper of up to 6000 words. Only full
- papers will be considered for presentation at the conference and for the
- subsequent book.
-
- Suitable topics for papers include, but are not limited to:
- The role of abstraction in modelling parallel computation.
- Models for general purpose parallel and distributed computing.
- PRAM models.
- Performance modelling and verification.
- The role of abstract models in parallel and distributed program design.
- Hardware support for abstract machine models.
- Shared objects and object-oriented programming for parallel computers
- Portability and Open standards.
-
-
- FIVE copies of full papers should be submitted no later than 16th Dec. 1992.
- TWO copies of position statements should be submitted no later than 16th Jan.
- 1993. All correspondence should be sent to:
