Description

The success of other workshops focusing on Java also shows the importance of the topic. The ACM 1998 Workshop on Java for High-Performance Network Computing that was held at the University of Stanford, Palo Alto, California, February 28th and March 1st, 1998 (following Syracuse in 1996 and Las Vegas in 1997) is a notable example. This workshop focused on high performance computing. This inspired the UK workshop on Java for High Performance Network Computing that was held in Septembre 1998 at the University of Southampton.

This workshop focuses on Java for parallel and distributed computing and supportive environments. One of its aims is to bring together the IPPS/SPDP community around Java, and to provide an opportunity to share experience and views of current trends and activity in the domain.

Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:

• Java for parallel and distributed computing;
• Programming/communication/distribution libraries;
• Software tools and environments;
• Code transformations, compilers, etc.;
• Real world distributed and parallel applications based on Java;
• Reflection
• Meta-computing, and Internet applications Standardization
• Theoretical foundations, formal methods Compiler technology, and performance issues
• Real-time applications Multi-agent systems
• Data mining Financial applications
• Software portability, components, and reuse Standards for object interoperability
• ...

Submission Guidelines

All papers will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. It is essential to identify what was accomplished, explain its significance, and include a comparison with previous work. Authors should make every effort to make the technical content of their papers understandable to a broad audience. If any author has published or presented on a related topic in a journal or a previous conference, the summary should explain how it advances such previous work.

Papers must describe work not previously published in refereed venues. Simultaneous submission to this workshop and another publication outlet (conference or journal) will be considered as grounds for rejection.

• Submissions consist of a 100-200 word ASCII summary and a 7500 word paper, not to exceed 15 pages  in LNCS format, including figures and references. Submissions must be either electronic (encouraged) or postal (discouraged). We strongly encourage authors to use the LNCS guidelines for preparing their papers since this will be a requirement if the paper is accepted.
• Electronic submissions must be received by 5:00 PM Middle European Time, Friday, October 30, 1998. Submissions may be sent as a single e-mail message (up to 1.6MB) to one of the co-chairs (MIME attachments are allowed). The message should contain the filled out submission form, the ASCII summary, and the paper. The paper should be in Postscript form, which must be interpretable by Ghostscript. The Postscript must use standard fonts, or include the necessary fonts, and must be prepared for USLetter (8.5"x11") or A4 page sizes (preferably along the LNCS guidelines). Electronic submissions are successful if acknowledged by a receipt message by Monday, November 2, 1998. If you do not get this acknowledgement by then but you sent a contribution in time, please get in touch with us via e-mail or phone no later than Tuesday, November 3, 1998.
• If your submission exceeds 1.6MB, you can either split your mail into multiple messages (discouraged) or upload the Postscript via anonymous ftp (encouraged) to the ftp://ftp.u-bordeaux.fr/incoming/javapdc/ directory. Ftp submissions should use the first author's last name plus a 4 digit random number as base filenames (plus extensions) for their Postscript files. Notice that incoming files are invisible to directory listings, so do not worry if you cannot see your uploaded file! Ftp uploads should be followed by an e-mail message as specified before, excluding the Postscript. Authors who cannot meet these requirements should submit hardcopy by postal mail instead.
• Postal submissions must be sent to one of the co-chairs by airmail and must be received on or before October 30, 1998; 10 copies (printed double-sided if possible) must be provided.
