Session on "Work in Progress"

Session Co-Chairs: Erwin Grosspietsch, Konrad Kloeckner

The 17th EUROMICRO International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-based Processing is organising a Special Session to present WORK in PROGRESS aimed to authors that have not yet attained final and complete results in their research.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Distributed Systems: distributed Databases, distributed OO systems, distributed operating systems, heterogeneous distributed systems, distributed algorithms, distributed sharedmemory systems.
• Network-based Computing: web computing, cluster computing, computational grids, datagrids, semantic grid, mobile agents, distributed web services, security in distributed systems.
• Parallel Computer Systems: massively parallel machines, interconnection networks,embedded parallel and distributed systems, fault-tolerance, memory organisation, support forparallel I/O.
• Models and Tools for Parallel Programming Environments: performance prediction and analysis, simulation, knowledge-based parallel program development, visualization tools.
• Advanced Applications: multi-disciplinary applications, parallel databases, computations over irregular domains, numerical applications with multi-level parallelism, real time distributed applications, distributed business applications.
• Languages, Compilers and Runtime Support Systems: task and data parallel languages, functional and logic languages, object-oriented languages, dependability issues, schedulingand load balancing, task and object migration.

Submission of papers: authors intending to participate in the session should submit an extended abstract (maximum 2 pages, MS Word or PDF file) about their work to both Session Co-Chairs, Erwin Grosspietsch (Email: karl-erwin.grosspietsch@online.de) and Konrad Kloeckner (Email: konrad.kloeckner@fit.fraunhofer.de) no later than Friday, 17 November 2008.

All authors of the Work in Progress session have to register for the PDP 2009 Conference. Accepted submissions will be published in a separate "Work in Progress" proceedings, and are to be presented in the session by short presentations of 10 minutes.
