Tools for Program Development and Analysis in Computational
Science
Description:
The use of supercomputing technology, parallel and distributed processing, and
sophisticated algorithms is of major importance for computational scientists. Yet,
the scientists' goals are to solve the challenging problems, not the software engineering
tasks associated with it. For that reason, computational science and engineering must be
able to rely on dedicated support from program development and analysis tools. Focusing on
this background, the following question must be investigated:
How to support users of computational science and engineering during program development
and analysis?
In order to answer this question, paper submissions concerning the usage and application
of software tools, and the demonstration of program development and analysis tools for
computational scientists are invited. Authors are expected to highlight the benefits of their
tools for the users, and the improvements being expected when using them during
software development.
This session offers the possibility to discuss tools and tool characteristics with those
people that are using them for solving their scientific problems. Tool developers are able
to show their products (or research prototypes) to potential users, while users can pose
their request to tool developers.

Modeling and Simulation in Supercomputing and Telecommunications
Description:
Modeling and simulation is very important to check the validity and
feasibility without actual implementation in various areas.
Specially, the implementation without checking them by modeling and simulation
is not economically justifiable in many cases in telecommunications and supercomputing
area since the cost of the real implementation in these area becomes very high. Thus,
the development of more efficient and accurate modeling and simulation techniques have
the importance for the researcher as well as the industry's competence. This workshop
will be composed of papers proving the effectiveness of new schemes in telecommunications
and supercomputing using modeling and simulation as well as new modeling and simulation
techniques.

Programming Paradigms for Grids and Metacomputing
Systems
Description:
Multi-domain heterogeneous distributed computing has matured
considerably but only in infrastructural and administrative areas. In
particular, suitable programming models for such environments have
only recently received attention. Approaches to grid programming range
from components and workflows, to OGSA compliant applications, to
extended MPI frameworks and even hand-assembled systems.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together
researchers interested in all aspects of programming models,
paradigms, languages, libraries, and runtime systems with
a focus on matching the special characteristics of grid and
metacomputing systems to application programming and
development. The organizers believe that as grids and
metacomputing become widely used in the mainstream, new or
enhanced ways of writing programs for such environments will
become increasingly critical. By providing forum for a discussion
and exchange of ideas between researchers, practitioners, and
application developers, the workshop aims to facilitate the
emergence and growth of the subfield of grid programming.
As part of the workshop, we will also include a brief (1.5-2hrs)
tutorial on "Programming Metasystems, with Examples from GT3 and H2O"
which we believe will be of value to practitioners who are
starting to use service-based approaches to grid computing.

OpenMP for Large Scale Applications
Description:
OpenMP is the standard API for Fortran/C/C++ parallel programming on shared
memory platforms (SMPs). It was designed by a vendorconsortium that borrowed heavily from
previous standardizationefforts, especially PCF. OpenMP still needs to evolve if it is to
be easily used for large-scalecomputations. This workshop intends to cover both examples
of successfuluse of OpenMP as well as papers on language, compiler and tools efforts that
show how OpenMP might be improved. Topics include language extensions orproposals to
modify existing semantics, parallel analyses and optimizations, experience reports on large
SMPs and with SMT systems, tool support forOpenMP application development and OpenMP for
clusters.
This workshop is a follow-up on the succesful workshop in ICCS 2003 in Melbourne.

Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems
Description:
This workshop will address a new paradigm of symbiotic
application&measurement systems, namely applications that can accept and
respond dynamically to new data injected into the executing application, and
reversely, the ability of such application systems to dynamically control
the measurement processes. The synergistic feedback control-loop between
application simulations and measurements can open new domains in the
capabilities of simulations with high potential pay-off: create applications
with new and enhanced analysis and prediction capabilities and enable a new
methodology for more efficient and effective measurement processes. This new
paradigm has the potential to transform the way science and engineering are
done, with major impact in the way many functions in our society are
conducted, such as manufacturing, commerce, transportation, hazard
prediction/management, and medicine. The workshop will present such new
opportunities, as well as the challenges and approaches in the
applications', algorithms' and systems' software technologies needed to
enable such capabilities, and will showcase ongoing research in these
aspects with examples from several important application areas.

Practical Aspects of High-level Parallel Programming
(PAPP 2004)
Description:
Sequential programming has long benefited from high-level programming
techniques and tools that have made today's immense range of software
economically viable. Two decades of research into high-level parallel
programming (algorithmic skeletons, parallel extensions of functional
languages, such as Haskell and ML, or parallel logic and constraint
programming, parallel execution of declarative programs such as SQL
queries, etc.) has produced methods and tools that improve the
price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of
target applications. Several emerging domains, such as Grid Computing,
are currently raising new issues. The PAPP workshop focuses on practical
aspects of high-level parallel programming: design, implementation and
optimization of high-level programming languages and tools, applications
in all fields of high-performance computing, benchmarks and experiments
using these high-level tools.

Modelling and Simulation of Multi-Physics Multi-Scale
Systems
Description:
A great number of real-life systems, important for industrial
applications and academic research, involve interactions amongst a range
of physical phenomena (e.g. viscous, turbulent, thermal, chemical,
mechanical, electromagnetic or plasma processes). In some systems the
time and length scales of processes studied differ in orders of
magnitude. Numerical simulation of these multi-physics and multi-scale
problems requires the development of sophisticated models and methods
for their integration, as well as efficient numerical algorithms and
advanced computational techniques based on appropriate software/hardware
technologies.
Because of the heavy computational demands of such simulations one
needs proficient utilization of high-performance parallel distributed
systems, such as efficient recourse management. The complexity of
modelling and data description, the large number and wide range of
parameters under investigation, as well as the necessity to control and
steer the simulation processes, motivate the development of problem
solving environments, user interfaces and code integration schemas.
The workshop aims to bring together computational physicists,
numerical specialists and computational scientists to push forward this
challenging multi-disciplinary research field.

Parallel Monte Carlo Algorithms for Diverse Applications in a Distributed
Setting
Description:
Scalable and efficient parallel algorithms for large scale scientific
and industrial applications for distributed computing environments are of increasing
importance, especially with the latest advances in Grids and Grid computing since they
enable us to close the performance gap in certain cases. One of this type of algorithms
are Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo algorithms, which according to the current
statistics used more than 60% of the computing time of the US DoE machines for various
simulation and modeling tasks.
In this workshop we will focus on outlining how the generic properties of coarse grained
Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo methods can be used to improve their performance and
will compare their efficiency with the corresponding deterministic methods. We will
consider Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo algorithms for Boundary Value Problems,
Solving Multidimensional Integrals and Linear Algebra Problems and how these more
efficient algorithms are applied to efficiently solving a diverse large scale problems
such as Air Pollution Modeling, Atomic Level Simulation, Problems in Biology (such as
search in Genetic Network Space) etc. Experimental results showing the efficiency of
the algorithms running on the local clusters and in a Grid environment will be
presented.

Active and Programmable Grids Architectures and
Components
Paper submission deadline:
January 21st, 2004
Description:
Next Generation Girds architectures should support dynamic,
reconfigurable on-demand, secure and highly customizable computing, storage
and networking environments. In opposite to the existing grid architectures
relaying on rather static services, the new grids architecture could exploit
active, programmable grids (computational, storage, networking) resources
and components. The active and programmable grids architecture may be seen
as an extension of the active networks paradigm to grid systems. It aims at
providing easy introduction of new services by adding dynamic programmability
to the grid resources. Such approach has only recently received attention.
The goal of this workshop, to be held in conjunction with the ICCS 2004

Computational Modeling and Simulation on Biomechanical Engineering
Description:
Biomechanical engineering is a relatively recent area that applies ideas and concepts
in mathematics, physics, and engineering to understanding and solving problems in
physiology and medicine, especially orthopedics. Computational modeling and simulation
is an indispensable tool to examine and investigate the biomechanical problems since
experimental and clinical approaches have a lot of restrictions. This workshop will
focus on the advances in computer based technologies applied in this multidisciplinary
subject. The appropriate topics are as follows (but are not limited to):
- Computational Modeling and simulation of the musculoskeletal system
- Biomechanical Analysis of human movement
- Planning and execution of computer-aided orthopedic surgery

HLA-Based Distributed Simulation on the Grid
Description:
The development of complex discrete event simulation applications usually requires
collaborative effort from researchers with different domain knowledge and expertise,
possibly at different locations. Furthermore, these simulation systems often require
huge computing resources and the data sets required by the simulation may also be
geographically distributed. While the High Level Architecture (HLA) defines a standard
for the construction of large-scale distributed simulations, Grid technologies enable
collaboration and the use of distributed computing resources, while also facilitating
access to geographically distributed data sets. The aim of the workshop is to address
the research challenges in developing large-scale HLA-based distributed simulations on
the Grid. Research topics include, but are not limited to:
- support for collaborative simulation development
- advanced model and service discovery mechanisms
- mechanisms for fault-tolerant, coordinated, secured simulation executions
- resource management, load balancing and migration mechanisms
- agent oriented simulation environments
- web and grid technologies for simulation frameworks
