WoTUG 22
Concurrent Computing - Architectures, Languages and Techniques
THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS
WEB PAGE NOW AVAILABLE
11-14 April 1999
Keele University, UK
http://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/cs/events/wotug22/
This conference addresses the theory, technology and applications of parallel
and distributed computing. At the application level, the emphasis will be on
reporting how the theory and technology was used -- design patterns leading to
simple, secure and efficient systems. Experiences on the use of Java are
particularly relevant.
The conference also has a tutorial program aimed at anyone responsible for
teaching in the above areas. With the growing number of Universities switching
to Java as the prime language for imperative programming, this meeting is
especially timely.
This is the 22nd Technical Conference of WoTUG - a world-wide network of
scientists and engineers engaged in the theory, implementation and application
of parallel and distributed systems.
WoTUG is especially concerned with modeling and solutions of real-world
problems through the use of safe and simple multi-threaded and distributed
techniques. Traditionally, these techniques have not been described as safe
and simple, but it is these attributes that have always driven the technical
developments reported and discussed at the WoTUG meetings.
Meetings follow a programme of papers and talks throughout the day, with
special interest groups and discussions during the evenings (and, often,
through the night!).
Suggested topics for papers or tutorials include, but are not limited to:
* Multithreading in Java, Handel, Limbo, occam 2.x and other languages
* Parallel and distributed architectures
* Agents, particularly concurrent agents
* Concurrent Design Patterns and Practices
* Reconfigurable Hardware (FPGAs etc.)
* Safety and Security Issues (Deadlock, Livelock, Starvation, etc.)
* Theory (CSP, monitors, semaphores, spin-locks, ...)
* Scientific, Engineering Business, and Entertainment Applications
Deadlines - we have negotiated a later publishing deadline and are happy to
announce revised dates for submission.
