Functional computing has proven to be an efficient and workable paradigm for
extracting high performance and enhancing portability in parallel programs. We
are interested in the current state of the art and future research directions
which emphasize high performance computing and its application to real-world
problems. We can position functional computing as the best choice for
exploiting parallelism on existing and future platforms for the rest of this
and the next century.


To provide for the future of functional computing, we must investigate areas
such as the incorporation of object-oriented features into a hybrid programming
paradigm and efficient utilization of architectural features of massively
parallel, distributed memory, communications-bound and multi-threaded
platforms. These topics are just a few of the many research areas that will
provide the next steps in the evolution of functional computing.


                                                              CALL FOR PAPERS


We invite submissions of papers and posters from interested parties.
Possible topics include (but are not limited to) the following:


* languages
* compilers
* debuggers
* programming tools
* multithreaded architectures
* applications
* high-performance architectures
* tools to support mixed-language programming
