Description

This series of workshops was born at IPPS'98 that was held in Orlando, Florida, in April 1998, where it appeared that Java was becoming more and more important for the IPPS/SPDP community, i.e. for parallel and distributed computing. Many of the papers that were presented in Orlando referred to Java. Furthermore  the attendance of the tutorial on Parallel and Distributed Computing Using Java that was given there clearly demonstrated the widespread interest.

This workshop is the fith in the series.  The first edition was held in Puerto Rico in 1999 , the second in Cancun in 2000,  the third in San Francisco in 2001,  the fourth in Fort Lauderdale in 2002, and the fith in Nice (France)  in 2003. It focuses on Java for parallel and distributed computing and supportive environments. One of its aims is to bring together the IPDPS community around Java and Java based technologies, and to provide an opportunity to share experience and views of current trends and activity in the domain.  Each year, new topics are being added to the scope of the workshop; for instance we recently introduced topics on embeded Java and wireless devices used to setup seamless computing environments, on Java extensions for distributed computing, and on global computing, the Web and Java.

Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:

Papers that describe existing implementations or work in progress, or outline new problems or important issues are also welcome. The number of accepted papers will be limited to approximately ten.

Submission Guidelines

Papers should not exceed 3000 words (approximately 6 pages), including figures and references. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop.This year again, IPDPS will be going to a single CD-ROM published by IEEE Computer Society that will combine the proceedings of the main symposium and the workshops. We will have a printed book of abstracts of all papers for attendees to carry with them at the conference.

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.

These are firm constraints; submissions not meeting the criteria described above will not be considered.
