CALL FOR PAPERS FIFTH ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming PPoPP Santa Barbara, California, July 19-21, 1995 The goal of this Symposium is to promote the exchange of ideas and experience in parallel programming with emphasis on methodologies, tools, and foundations. In 1995, PPoPP will be collocated with the Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA). We are soliciting submissions that: (1) center on experiments and comparative evaluation in parallel programming, (2) report on new ideas in languages, compilers and environments for parallel programming or, (3) summarize experience with parallel programming in a way that illustrates general principles. Topics of interest include: design and implementation of parallel programming languages and systems; programming experience with parallel programming languages and systems; restructuring compilers and program manipulation systems for parallel systems; environments, debuggers, monitoring tools and operating system support for parallel programming; the relationship between parallel programming languages, compilers and machine architecture; and performance aspects of parallel programming systems. Papers reporting on experience should indicate how the experiments illustrate general principles; papers oriented towards foundations should indicate how the work illuminates or influences practice. Papers should report on original research and contain enough background material to make them accessible to the entire parallel programming research community. Authors should submit 13 copies of the complete paper to the program committee chair. Submissions should include an abstract, and be 10 pages maximum, typed double spaced or typeset 10-point on 16-point spacing. Submissions must be received by December 16, 1994, and should include a return mailing address and if possible an electronic address. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February 28, 1995. Final versions of accepted papers must be received in camera-ready form by March 31. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign a copyright release form. Proceedings will be distributed at the conference and possibly as a special issue of SIGPLAN Notices; they will subsequently be available from ACM. Papers published in proceedings are eligible for subsequent publication in refereed ACM journals at the discretion of the editor of the particular journal. Simultaneous submissions to other conferences will not be accepted.
