Description
This topic provides a forum for the presentation of the latest research=

results and practical experience in the development of parallel=20
programs. Advances in algorithmic and programming models, design=20
methods, languages, and interfaces are needed to produce correct,=20
portable parallel software with predictable performance on different
parallel and distributed architectures.

The topic emphasises results that improve the process of developing=20
high-performance programs, including high-integrity programs that are=20=

scalable with both problem size and complexity. Of particular interest
are novel techniques by which parallel software can be assembled from=20=

reusable parallel components without compromising efficiency. Related=20=

to this is the need for parallel software to adapt, both to available=20=

resources and to the problem being solved.=20

Where appropriate, contributions should demonstrate quantitative=20
performance results in support of their claims, and address=20
applications not adequately handled by well-established approaches.

Focus
    * Languages, libraries and interfaces for different parallel=20
      programming models (e.g. data-parallelism, task-parallelism,=20
      functional, object-oriented, logic, component-based etc.).
    * Implementation and optimisation techniques for innovative=20
      parallel languages and programming models (e.g. threads,=20
      dataflow, tiling, skeletons, declarative languages, and=20
      generalised data-parallel approaches, etc.).
    * Performance models and their integration into the design of=20
      efficient parallel algorithms and programs (e.g. BSP, LogP, CGM,
      N-half and their alternatives, cost calculi and static=20
      performance prediction, profile-driven approaches).
    * Parallel programming paradigms and tools, their comparison and=20=

      integration (e.g. data-parallel vs. task-parallel, coordination=20=

      programming, performance analysis and debugging).
    * Methodological aspects of developing, optimizing and validating=20=

      parallel programs (formalisms, semantics, specification, design,
      transformations, verification, etc.).
    * Software engineering for parallel and distributed systems=20
      (design patterns, portability, robustness, standardization,=20
      etc.).
    * Systematic approaches and programming models to support=20
      effective program development in grid environments.  =20
    * Domain-specific parallel libraries and languages (e.g. for=20
      simulation, irregular and unstructured meshes, computational=20
      geometry, etc.).
