Workshop on

Engineering Object Oriented Parallel Software (EOOPS)

to be held in conjunction with The 27th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (IEEE AINA-2013), March 25-28, 2013, Barcelona, Spain

Keywords: Concurrent and Distributed Software, Object Oriented Software, Software Engineering, High Performance Networks and Libraries, Middleware, Runtime Environments, Patterns.

Scope

In the last years there have been constant improvements of computing hardware: there are now multi-core CPUs (with 8-16 cores), the introduction of hardware accelerators, GPUs and the upcoming Intel MIC, for general purpose computing relying on their inherently parallel nature, with dozens and hundreds of cores, and finally, cloud computing can provision a virtually infinite number of compute nodes. The software to solve a given (scientific) problem must be adaptable to this hardware heterogeneity and find new ways to make efficient use of such distributed compute resources. Additionally, how to program these systems is constantly open to discussion, as the options range from traditional approaches, based in MPI for distributed memory processing and OpenMP for shared memory, to the present research and development in object oriented approaches, which can provide multiple software engineering advantages in this field and are the focus of the workshop.

The EOOPS workshop provides a forum for engineers, researchers, and scientists to exchange the latest results on object oriented programming methodologies to match the challenges posed by the developing hardware and application requirements.

Topics

Topics which are interesting for the workshop include, but are not limited to:

Papers must describe original work, and must not have been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be published by IEEE Computer Society.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers following the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines URL: http://computer.org/.

The papers should be submitted electronically via the AINA-2013 website (http://www.aina-conference.org/2013/) or directly via the EDAS conference submission system (https://edas.info/N12201?c=12201) for AINA-2013. If there is any problem during submission please contact the Workshop Co-Chairs Heinz Kredel or Guillermo Lopez Taboada.

The papers should be written in English and the length should not exceed 6 pages (including figures and tables). Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the conference. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Service and will be included in the IEEE Digital Library.
