Third International Workshop on High-level Parallel Programming and Applications (HLPP 2005) July 4-5, 2005, Warwick University, Coventry, United Kingdom

Aims and scope

Parallel and distributed systems are now readily available as their price/performance ratio continues to improve. But parallel and distributed programming is still dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing.

Sequential programming has long benefited from high-level programming techniques and tools that have made today's immense range of software economically viable. Two decades of research into high-level parallel and distributed programming have produced methods and tools that improve the price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of target applications.

Grid systems offer a tremendous computing power. Nevertheless, this power is far from being effectively exploited. In addition to technical problems related to portability and access, grid computing needs new programming paradigms. Research on high level programming for meta and grid computing is particularly relevant.

This workshop follows HLPP 2001 and HLPP 2003, and is aimed at:

• computer science researchers, practitioners, graduate students
• scientific computing researchers, practitioners, graduate students
• high-performance application developers (e.g. in DBMS, data-mining, parallel model checking, virtual reality)

Accepted papers

Revised versions of the papers will appear in Parallel Processing Letters, volume 18, issue 1, March 2008.
