This first UK workshop is loosely based on the ACM workshop held at
Stanford in March 1998. The workshop will focus on the use of the Java
programming language for parallel and scientific computing, including
engineering and scientific applications of Java, simulations,
distributed resource management, on-line analytical processing and
data-intensive applications, and other emerging applications that
combine distributed object technology with networking.
The workshop is also aimed at bringing together the UK research
community involved in this area, and to get a broad perspective of
community interests and views. Authors are requested to submit short
proposals that demonstrate timely results and application of Java based
technologies, which could have an impact on the use of Java in high
performance computing systems. Similar workshops have proved very
successful in the US (Syracuse 1996, Las Vegas 1997 and Stanford 1998).
We hope the UK workshop will be even more so.
The topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):
* Java based numerical libraries
* Java computing frameworks and collaborative environments
* Java with parallel libraries such as PVM/MPI
* Java compilers for improving execution performance (caching
strategies, optimisations, native libraries)
* Java as wrapper technology to existing scientific codes
* Java/CORBA integration for scientific computing
* Translations from C/C++/Fortran to Java
* Java applications (e.g. real world high performance computing,
grand challenge applications)
* Java for real time multimedia / digital television
* Java based embedded and real time systems
* Java/Web TV

SUBMISSION
Papers should report new work and should not exceed 5000 words
(approximately 10 pages typeset on 16-point spacing, or 15 typewritten
double-spaced pages). All papers will be reviewed by the programme
committee, and selected on their originality, timeliness, relevance and
clarity.
Electronic submission is preferred. Please email a PostScript or PDF
copy of your submission to Omer Rana (omer@cs.cf.ac.uk) before July 31,
1998. All papers will be available for download from the workshop web
site. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of Scientific
Programming.
