Scope and Interests:

The field of high performance computing has obtained prominence through advances in
electronic and integrated technologies beginning in the 1940s. Current times are very
exciting and the years to come will witness a proliferation in the use of parallel and
distributed systems. The scientific and engineering application domains have a key role in
shaping future research and development activities in academia and industry, especially
when the solution of large and complex problems must cope with tight timing schedules.

This special workshop is to bring together computer scientists, applied mathematicians and
researchers to present, discuss and exchange idea, results, work in progress and
experience of research in the area of parallel and distributed computing for problems in
science and engineering applications.

Among the main topics (but not limited to) are:

1.  development of advanced parallel and distributed methods,
2.  parallel and distributed computing techniques and codes,
3.  practical experiences using various parallel and distributed systems with software
     such as MPI, PVM, and HPFortran, OpenMP, etc.
4.  domain decomposition,
5.  loop and task parallelism,
6.  scheduling and load balancing,
7.  compiler, hardware and OS issues for scientific and engineering computing,
8.  memory system and I/O supports for scientific and engineering computing,
9.  hardware/software support for performance, power and energy-aware applications,
10. network, mobile/wireless processing and computing,
11. performance modeling and evaluation of scientific and engineering computing,
12. cluster and grid scientific and engineering computing.
13. applications to the following areas, but not limited to:
         1. computational fluid dynamics and mechanics
         2. material sciences
         3. space, weather, climate systems and global changes
         4. computational environment and energy systems
         5. computational ocean and earth sciences
         6. combustion system simulation
         7. computational chemistry
         8. computational physics
         9.  bioinformatics and computational biology
         10. medical applications
         11. transportation systems simulations
         12. combinatorial and global optimization problems
         13. structural engineering
         14. computational electro-magnetic
         15. computer graphics
         16. virtual reality and multimedia
         17. semiconductor technology, and electronic circuits and system design
         18. dynamic systems
         19. computational finance
         20. data mining
         21. signal and image processing
             .....

Submission Information:

Authors are expected to submit a paper of at most 20 pages in either PS or PDF format
via electronic mail with 5-10 keywords to the workshop chair (lyang at stfx.ca).  Program
committee members and external reviewers will provide authors with at least three reviews.
  Papers will be ranked for relevance to the workshop and technical merit. Accepted papers
with at most 8 pages will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as IPDPS-04
proceedings. Selected papers will be appeared on a special issue of a parallel computing
journal (the journal name, volume and issue will be available soon).

Important Deadlines:


Paper submission Due:        Dec 01, 2003
Notification of Acceptance     Jan 12, 2004
Final camera-ready paper     Jan 23, 2004
