CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------------------------------------- IMUDI 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Session on Improving MPI User And Developer Interaction http://press.mcs.anl.gov/imudi2011/ Scope: The IMUDI special session, to be held as a full-day meeting at the EuroMPI 2011 conference in Santorini, Greece, focuses on bringing together the MPI end-user and MPI implementor communities through discussions on MPI usage experiences, techniques, and optimizations. This meeting will focus on evaluating the MPI standard from the perspective of the MPI end-user (application and library developers) and address concerns and insights of MPI implementors and vendors. Unlike workshops associated with other conferences, the IMUDI session is still considered to be a part of the Euro MPI conference. Submissions will be reviewed separately to facilitate bringing together research publications falling into these "special focus" areas. Topics of Interest: The topics include but are not limited to: - Software development and optimization challenges for MPI-based applications and libraries - Evaluation of existing MPI features and use cases by the MPI application and library development community - Analysis of MPI-based and alternative programming model implementations of applications and libraries - New techniques and features to improve the MPI programming model and usage by current MPI end-users - Analysis of the evolution of the MPI programming model and implementation for future HPC systems - Analysis of alternative programming model features implemented within MPI Author instructions: Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 8 pages. Papers should be submitted in PDF format using the LNCS style described on the EuroMPI 2011 conference web site. Submissions should be sent to [email protected] Publication: Accepted papers will be published in the EuroMPI proceedings as part of Springer's LNCS series. Accepted contributions are expected to be presented by one of the authors at EuroMPI 2011 during the IMUDI special session. Session Organizers: Dries Kimpe, University of Chicago Jason Cope, Argonne National Laboratory Program Committee: To be announced. Important Dates: Submission of full papers: extended to May 20th, 2011 Author Notification: June 24th, 2011 Camera Ready papers due: July 10th, 2011 Conference: September 19-21, 2011
