CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON
ABSTRACT MACHINE MODELS
FOR
HIGHLY PARALLEL COMPUTERS
University of Leeds, U.K.
March 25-27 1991
Organised by
The British Computer Society Parallel Processing Specialist Group
Aim of the Workshop
The workshop aims to provide a forum for the discussion of abstract
machine models for highly parallel computers. Particular attention will be
given to the specification, implementation and application of such models
and to the identification of key issues for future research.
Workshop Format
A number of invited speakers will give keynote presentations. Working
groups will focus on major issues identified through position papers. The
main purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and as
many participants as possible will be given the opportunity to present a
position paper. The workshop will be restricted to 60 delegates and it is
expected that all partici- pants will be active researchers in relevant
fields. In the event that more than 60 applications are received,
selection will be on the basis of position papers submitted.
Invited Speakers Include :
Dr. J.P. Banatre IRISIA
Prof. C. Jesshope Surrey University
Dr. D. May INMOS Ltd.
Prof. R. Milner Edinburgh University
Dr. D. Nicole Southampton University
Prof. E. Odijk Philips Research
Prof. S.Peyton-Jones Glasgow University
Prof I. Watson Manchester University
Position Papers
Potential participants should submit a position paper or extended abstract
of around 1500 words indicating the current direction of their research.
The position papers of all participants will be made available at the
workshop. It is hoped that fuller versions of selected papers will be
published more formally.
Suitable topics for position papers include, but are not limited to :
Low level abstract machine models
Impact of machine models on operating system design
Models for general purpose parallel computing
Performance models
High level programming models
Parallel system architectures
Application-specific language interfaces
Hardware support for abstract machine models
Portable distribution runtime environments
Open standards
Position papers should be submitted no later than 31st January 1991 to :
Mrs. J. A. Thursby
Abstract Machine Workshop Secretary
School of Computer Studies
The University
Leeds
UK
LS2 9JT
Cost
The basic cost of the workshop will be approximately 100 pounds, which
includes lunch and light refreshments on each day, and a copy of the
position papers.
Optional costs will be approximately :
Bed & Breakfast 24 to 26 March 20 pounds for each day
Dinner 24 to 25 March 9 pounds
Workshop Dinner Tuesday 25 March 25 pounds (incl. wine)
Vegetarian meals are available on all occasions.
Intending participants should send no money at this stage. Payment forms
will be sent with acceptance of position papers.
