International Symposium on High-level Parallel Programming and Applications
HLPP2013, Paris 1-2 July 2013.
Aims and scope:
As processor and system manufacturers increase the amount of both inter- and intra-chip parallelism it becomes crucial to provide the software industry with high-level, clean and efficient tools for parallel programming. Parallel and distributed programming methodologies are currently dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms. Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism.
Since 2001 the HLPP series of meetings has been a forum for researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts, tools and applications for high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software quality, programming productivity and high-level performance models. The 2013 symposium will be a self-contained event, held in central Paris.
HLPP 2013 invites the submission of papers written in English on all topics including (but not limited to) the following aspects of multi-core, parallel, distributed, grid and cloud computing:
- High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.) and tools
- Declarative parallel programming methodologies
- Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods
- Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries: semantics and implementation
- Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs
- Software synthesis, automatic code generation for parallel programming
- Model-driven software engineering with parallel programs
- High-level methods for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms: GPGPU, FPGA etc.
- High-level parallel methods for large structured and semi-structured datasets
- Applications of parallel systems using highlevel languages and tools
- Teaching experience with highlevel tools and methods
Proceedings:
Authors of accepted papers will be expected to register and to present their paper at the symposium.
All accepted papers will be eligible for publication in a special issue of Springer's International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP).

Paper submission:
Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 450 words. Submissions should cover approximately 15 pages and camera-ready versions will be 20 pages long. Full manuscripts should be prepared with the Springer IJSS latex macro package and submitted via the IJPP online editorial system. Only PDF files will be accepted. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and presentation. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be registered and presented at the symposium. Accepted papers will be made available at the time of the meeting and published in the symposium proceedings.
