Workshop on Embedded HPC Systems and Applications (EHPC'97)

                                              Call for Participation


                                  2nd International Workshop on
                      Embedded HPC Systems and Applications (EHPC'97)


          April 5, 1997, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland


    at the 11th IEEE International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS'97)


The International Workshop on Embedded HPC Systems and Applications
(EHPC) is a forum for the presentation and discussion of approaches,
research findings, and experiences in the applications of High
Performance Computing (HPC) technology for embdded systems. Of
interest are both the development of relevant technology (e.g.:
hardware, middleware, tools) as well as the embedded HPC applications
built using such technology.


We hope to bring together industry, academia, and government
researchers/users to explore the special needs and issues in applying
HPC technologies to defense and commercial applications.


Topics to be considered in EHPC'97 include:


    -- Algorithms and Applications: addressing parallel computing needs of
          applications such as radar signal processing, surveillance, automated
          target recognition, etc.


    -- Programming Environments: addressing software design,
          programming/parallelization methods, and development tools.


    -- Complex Systems Engineering: addressing performance modeling/simulation,
          partitioning/mapping and architecture trade-off, system integration,
          debugging and testing tools.


    -- Operating Systems and Middleware Services: addressing real-time
          scheduling, fault-tolerance, and static/dynamic resource management needs
          of embedded applications.


    -- Architectures: addressing special-purpose processors, high-performance
          packages, and advanced vision systems.


The workshop will feature technical presentations, a keynote speech,
and an open discussion session. The proceedings of the workshop will
be made available on the web.


Manuscript Submission:


Authors are invited to submit by email a 5-page extended abstract of
their presentation to Devesh Bhatt (bhatt@htc.honeywell.com, +1
612-951-7316) by Nov. 22 1996. Extended abstracts must be either in
plain ascii or postscript format. If submitting in postscript, please
include the title, authors, and affiliation in plain ascii text
also. Submissions will be reviewd by the program committee.


Acceptance notifications will be made by January 15 1997. Camera ready
postscript files are due by March 15, 1997. Proceedings will be
published on the World-Wide Web. Only abstracts will be distributed in
hard-copy to the workshop attendees.
