EuroPVM/MPI 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS
        
15th European PVMMPI Users' Group Meeting
Dublin, Ireland, September 7 - 10, 2008
web: http://pvmmpi08.ucd.ie
organized by UCD School of Computer Science and Informatics
        
BACKGROUND AND TOPICS

PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) and MPI (Message Passing Interface)

programming in the message-passing paradigm. EuroPVM/MPI is the most
prominent meeting dedicated to the latest developments of PVM and MPI,
their use, including support tools, and implementation, and to
applications using these interfaces. The EuroPVM/MPI meeting naturally
encourages discussions of new message-passing and other parallel and
distributed programming paradigms beyond MPI and PVM.


and developers of PVM, MPI, and other message-passing programming
environments. Through the presentation of contributed papers, vendor
presentations, poster presentations and invited talks, attendees will

improvement and furthering of message-passing and related parallel
programming paradigms.

Topics of interest for the meeting include, but are not limited to:

   * PVM and MPI implementation issues and improvements
   * Latest extensions to PVM and MPI
   * PVM and MPI for high-performance computing, clusters and grid
     environments
   * New message-passing and hybrid parallel programming paradigms
   * Interaction between message-passing software and hardware
   * Fault tolerance in message-passing programs
   * Performance evaluation of PVM and MPI applications
   * Tools and environments for PVM and MPI
   * Algorithms using the message-passing paradigm
   * Applications in science and engineering based on message-passing

Submissions on applications demonstrating both the potential and
shortcomings of MPI and PVM are particularly welcome.

As in the previous years, the special session 'ParSim' will focus on

2008
will also hold the 'Outstanding Papers' session, where the best papers
selected by the program committee will be presented.


SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Contributors are invited to submit a full paper as a PDF document not
exceeding 8 pages in English (2 pages for poster abstracts). The title
page should contain an abstract of at most 100 words and five specific
keywords.
The paper needs to be formatted according to the Springer LNCS
guidelines

EuroPVM/ MPI (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The usage of LaTeX for

preparation of the contribution as well as the submission in camera
ready
format is strongly recommended. Style files can be found at

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. New work that is not yet

mature for a full paper, short observations, and similar brief
announcements are invited for the poster session. Contributions to the
poster session should be submitted in the form of a two page abstract.
All these contributions will be fully peer reviewed by the program
committee.

Submissions to the special session 'Current Trends in Numerical
Simulation for Parallel Engineering Environments' (ParSim 2008) are
handled and reviewed by the respective session chairs. For more
