[Caml-list] Call for Papers: HLPP 2010 (DEADLINE EXTENSION)

We apologize if you receive this CfP multiple times. Please distribute !

******************** DEADLINE EXTENSION ********************
------------------------------------------------------------
Fourth International Workshop on
High-level Parallel Programming and Applications (HLPP 2010)
Baltimore, Maryland, September 25, 2010
Affiliated to ICFP 2010
------------------------------------------------------------

AIMS AND SCOPE

As processor and system manufacturers adjust their roadmaps towards increasing
levels of both inter and intra-chip parallelism, so the urgency of reorienting
the mainstream software industry towards these architectures grows.

At present, popular parallel and distributed programming methodologies are
dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or
equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms.

Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a
key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism.

This workshop provides a forum for discussion and research about such high-level
approaches to parallel programming.
Topics

We welcome submission of original, unpublished papers in English on topics
including (but not limited to) the following aspects of multi-core, parallel,
distributed, grid and cloud computing:

* High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.)
and tools
* Declarative parallel programming methodologies
* Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods
* Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries: semantics and
implementation
* Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs
* Applications using high-level languages and tools
* Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods

PROGRAMME COMMITTEE

* Anne Benoit (ENS Lyon, France)
* Murray Cole (University of Edinburgh, UK)
* Alexandros Gerbessiotis (New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA)
* Christoph Kessler (Linköpings Universitet, Sweden)
* Herbert Kuchen (University of Muenster, Germany)

COORDINATION
12th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/COORDINATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------

* Scope *

Coordination 2010 seeks high-quality papers on programming languages
and coordination models, middleware, services, and algorithms that
separate behavior from interaction, therefore increasing modularity,
simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software
development. The conference focuses on the design and implementation
of models that allow compositional construction of large-scale
concurrent and distributed systems, including both practical and
foundational models, run-time systems, and related verification and
analysis techniques.

Past incarnations of Coordination have emphasized foundations.
However, given the increasing importance of concurrency in almost
every software domain, the organizers of Coordination 2010 are keen
to provide a strong forum for high-quality papers that address
practical aspects of concurrent programming models; for example,
application of concurrency to novel domains, comparisons of
alternative programming models on important problems, or
domain-specific languages.

* Program Committee Chairs *

Dave Clarke Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Gul Agha University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

--------------------------------------------------------------------

DAIS
10th IFIP International Conference on
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/DAIS

--------------------------------------------------------------------

* Scope *

The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed
applications, including their design, implementation and operation,
the supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering
methodologies and tools, as well as experimental studies and
practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contributions
on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for large scale
and complex distributed applications and services that are related
to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual worlds
based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms.

* Program Committee Chairs *

Frank Eliassen University of Oslo, Norway
Ruediger Kapitza University of Erlangen, Germany

--------------------------------------------------------------------

FMOODS & FORTE
12th IFIP International Conference on
Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems
30th IFIP International Conference on
FORmal TEchniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/FmoodsForte

--------------------------------------------------------------------

* Scope *

The joined conference FMOODS & FORTE is a forum for fundamental
research on theory and applications of distributed systems. The
conference solicits original contributions that advance the science
and technologies for distributed systems, in particular
in the areas of:

* component- and model-based design
* object technology, modularity, software adaptation
* service-oriented, ubiquitous, pervasive, grid and mobile
computing
* software quality, reliability and security

The conference encourages contributions that combine theory and
practice, address problems from the development of distributed
systems, and present novel solutions with formal methods and
theoretical foundations. FMOODS & FORTE covers distributed computing
models and formal specification, testing and verification methods.
The application domains include all kinds of application-level
distributed systems, telecommunication services, Internet, embedded
and real time systems, as well as networking and communication
security and reliability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOP:

It has been understood since the late 1960s that tools and structures
arising in mathematical logic and proof theory can usefully be applied
to the design of high level programming languages, and to the
development of reasoning principles for such languages. Yet low level
languages, such as machine code, and the compilation of high level
languages into a low level ones have traditionally been seen as having
little or no essential connection to logic.

However, a fundamental discovery of this past decade has been that low
level languages are also governed by logical principles. From this
key observation has emerged an active and fascinating new research
area at the frontier of logic and computer science. The
practically-motivated design of logics reflecting the structure of low
level languages (such as heaps, registers and code pointers) and low
level properties of programs (such as resource usage) goes hand in
hand with the some of the most advanced contemporary researches in
semantics and proof theory, including classical realizability and
forcing, double orthogonality, parametricity, linear logic, game
semantics, uniformity, categorical semantics, explicit substitutions,
abstract machines, implicit complexity and sublinear programming.

The LOLA workshop, affiliated with LICS, will bring together
researchers interested in the various aspects of the relationship
between logic and low level languages and programs. LOLA is an
informal workshop aiming at a high degree of useful interaction
amongst the participants.

PROGRAMME COMMITTEE:

* Amal Ahmed (Indiana University)

* Paul-Andre Mellies (CNRS & University Paris Diderot, co-chair)
