OVERVIEW

The Workshop on Languages, Compilers, and Run-time Systems for
Scalable Computers (LCR) is a bi-annual gathering of computer
scientists who develop software systems for parallel and distributed
computers, held in the off-year for PPoPP.
Attendance is limited to 75 participants. The LCR
community is interested in a broad range of technologies, with a
common goal of developing systems that enable real
applications.  The organization of high end computer systems is
undergoing a dramatic shift, fueled by the improving speeds of
commodity networks and processors, and is enabling new applications.
High-end computer systems now include MPPs,
shared memory systems, distributed shared memory, and (possibly
heterogeneous) clusters of uniprocessors and multiprocessors.
For this fifth meeting, we are especially soliciting papers that
describe emerging applications  as well as software support for these
applications.

Authors are invited to submit 6-page abstracts. Particular areas of
interest include emerging/new applications, language features,
communication code generation and optimization, communication libraries,
distributed shared memory libraries, distributed object systems,
resource management systems, integration of compiler and runtime systems,
irregular and dynamic applications, parallel I/O, performance evaluation,
and debuggers.

SUBMISSIONS

Paper format: 6-page (maximum) abstract. Shorter entries are welcome.
Please include an e-mail address, phone number, and fax number for the
contact author. Papers can be submitted via e-mail or postal mail;
e-mail submissions are preferred.

Electronic submission: This is the preferred mode of submission.
Submission instructions will be available at the
web site. The deadline for submission is 5:00 pm EST on
January 31st, 2000. Contact the program chair at sandhya@cs.rochester.edu
if you need any help with the process.

Postal submission: Send three copies of the 6-page abstract to the
Program Chair at the following address so that it ARRIVES by Jan 31st,
2000:

Sandhya Dwarkadas

University of Rochester
Rochester, NY14627-0226

NOTIFICATION

Authors will be notified via e-mail no later than March 20, 2000.

PUBLICATION

An informal proceedings consisting of the 6-page abstracts will be
distributed at the conference.
The formal proceedings will be published as a volume in the
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
LNCS volumes are now available both in printed and electronic form.
Authors of accepted papers will therefore be required to submit
full versions of their papers after the Workshop (15 pages
in LNCS format, approx. 9 8.5x11 pages),
including an electronic version as specified in the authors' instructions.
Each participant will receive a copy of the proceedings.
