WoTUG 22 Concurrent Computing - Architectures, Languages and Techniques Call For Papers

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!).

Topics

• Multithreading in Java, Handel, Limbo, occam and other languages
• Agents, particularly concurrent agents
• Parallel and distributed architectures
• 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

Please submit papers and tutorial proposals to the conference organizer by the above date. Emailed submissions (e.g. compressed PostScript) are preferred.
