Call for Papers in ASCII.
The simulation of practical problems in engineering disciplines has become a key field for the use of parallel programming environments. Remarkable progress in both CPU power and network technology has been paralleled by developments in numerical simulation and integration of the software used to support many engineering applications. Besides these traditional approaches for parallel simulation and their steady improvement, the appearance of new paradigms like Computational Grids or E-Services has introduced new opportunities and challenges for parallel computation in engineering fields.
This session is intended to provide a discussion forum for scientists from both the engineering disciplines and computer science in order to foster a closer cooperation between them. In contrast to traditional conferences, emphasis is put on the presentation of up-to-date results with a short turn-around time, which can also include the presentation of work-in-progress with only partial results available at the time of submission.
The session is embedded into the EuroPVM/MPI conference with its long tradition as one of the European prime events in parallel computation. It will serve as an ideal surrounding for this special session and will enable the participants to present and discuss their work within the scope of both the session and the host conference.
Topics for this special session include, but are not limited to, real-world problems from electrical, mechanical, civil, or medical engineering requiring parallel simulation techniques, problem solving environments for parallel simulation problems, software techniques to optimize parallel simulations, as well as mathematical aspects for parallel simulation approaches. Papers describing practical and/or industry experience are especially encouraged.
Authors are invited to submit 4-page extended abstracts or 8-page papers (in LNCS style as described on the conference web site) that demonstrate original and unpublished research in the area of parallel simulation techniques in engineering environments. All submissions will be handled fully electronically through an electronic submission server.
All submissions are due by June 17th, and because of the strict time schedule, there will be little room for extensions. Accepted papers are allowed up to 8 pages, due by July 15th, in the EuroPVM/MPI proceedings, which will be published as part of Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers are expected to be presented by one of the authors at EuroPVM/MPI.
