CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST Special Issue of THE COMPUTER JOURNAL on Automatic Loop Parallelization Expressions of interest are solicited for a secial issue of The Computer Journal on Automatic Loop Parallelization planned for 1997. Automatic parallelization of loop-based sequential programs will play a very important role in facilitating the use of high performance computers. This is a preliminary call to create a maling list of researchers likely to contribute to this special issue. This call is not for screening the papers. Topics of interest include (but not limited to), Loop Transformation Techniques Loop Transformation Theory and Program Partitioning Impact of Architectures on Paralleizing Compilers Cache Performance Optimization Communication Overheads Performance Analysis of Transformation Techniques Loop Parallization on Network of Workstations Special Purpose Architectures Software Issues If you are likely to submit a paper, please email the following information to the address below by May 20, 1996. 1) likley title of the paper, 2) authors' name(s), and 3) if available a 50 word abstract. The tentative deadline for submission of full papers is likely to be September 30, 1996. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. J.
