Workshop Details
| 1. | High Performance
Computing in Academia: Systems and Applications
Description: The use of HPC in bachelor’s and master’s level degree programs is highly varied. Papers presented in this session will focus on either the high performance systems or the associated applications the authors use and/or have developed for educational settings. To support HPC in academia (course work and modest research projects (not PhD thesis level)), we wish to begin the assembly of a resource base for educational practitioners. The papers from this session, the corresponding slides, and other appropriate materials will be made available at a website associated with the journal Computing in Science and Engineering.

| 2. | 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 their challenging scientific 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: 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. Organizers:

| 3. | Practical Aspects of
High-Level Parallel Programming (PAPP 2005)
Description: Computational Science applications are more and more complex to develop and require more and more computing power. Parallel and grid computing are solutions to the increasing need for computing power. High level languages offer a high degree of abstraction which eases the development of complex systems. Being based on formal semantics, it is even possible to certify the correctness of critical parts of the applications. Algorithmic skeletons, parallel extensions of functional languages, such as Haskell and ML, or parallel logic and constraint programming, parallel execution of declarative programs such SQL queries, etc. have produced methods and tools that improve the price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of target applications. The PAPP workshop focuses on practical aspects of high-level parallel programming: design, implementation and optimization of high-level programming languages and tools (performance predictors working on high-level parallel/grid source code, visualizations of abstract behaviour, automatic hotspot detectors, high-level GRID resource managers, compilers, automatic generators, etc.), applications in all fields of computational science, benchmarks and experiments. Research on high-level grid programming is particularly relevant. The PAPP workshop is aimed both at researchers involved in the development of high level approaches for parallel and grid computing and computational science researchers who are potential users of these languages and tools.

| 12. | Third International Workshop on Autonomic
Distributed Data and Storage Systems Management (ADSM 2005)
Description: Applications such as eScience and eBusiness involve geographically distributed and heterogeneous resources such as computational resources, scientific instruments, and databases. The data in these applications is usually massive and distributed across numerous institutions for various reasons including, the inherent distribution of data sources; large-scale storage and computational requirements; to ensure high-availability and fault-tolerance of data; and caching to provide faster access. The users in such complex environments should be able to carry out analysis of the data generated by the experiments by transparently accessing distributed datasets and computational resources. Building, managing, and operating such distributed data and storage systems in autonomic manner are not only challenging, but also presents a large business opportunity for industries. Organizer:

| 15. | Simulation of Multiphysics
Multiscale Systems
Description: Simulation of
multiphysics and multiscale (MPMS) systems poses a
grand challenge to computational science. 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 by orders of magnitude. Numerical simulation of these
multiphysics and multiscale problems requires the development of
sophisticated models and methods for their integration, as well as
efficient numerical algorithms and advanced computational techniques.
Because of the heavy computational demands of such simulations, one
needs successful utilization of high-performance computing systems,
which
inspires progress in algorithms and methodology of parallel distributed
computing. The complexity of modeling 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 methods.
This workshop, being a follow-up of a highly successful event held at ICCS-2004 in Krakow, Poland, aims to bring together computational physicists, numerical specialists and computational scientists to push forward this challenging multidisciplinary research field. Organizers:

| 16. | 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.

| 17. | 2nd International Workshop on Active and Programmable Grids Architectures and
Components (APGAC 2005)
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, serviceware)
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. The
goal of this workshop, to be held in conjunction with the ICCS 2005
conference (www.iccs-meeting.org), is to bring
together researchers interested in all aspects of active grid resources
services, and programmability concept application to a new grid
middleware design and implementation.

| 18. | 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 use over 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, etc 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 Computational Biology etc. Experimental results showing the efficiency of the algorithms running on the local clusters and in a Grid environment will be presented.

| 20. | Modelling
of Complex Systems by Cellular Automata (MCSCA 2005)
Description: The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working with complex systems within diverse scientific fields as biology, physics, mathematics, and many others. The restriction on papers is that a cellular automaton should express a complex system. Complex systems are proven to be the powerful computational concept that help us to capture the essence of many real systems where other approaches and methods failed. Cellular automata enable us to define and to work with complex systems effectively and easily. This workshop is opened to other fields related to complex systems and/or cellular automata as well. The theme of this workshop lies in the heart of the conference main theme, i.e. it is designed to hit the community, which pioneer computational methods in a wide range of fields as biology, physics, engineering and many other fields. Our personal experience is that such contact of researches from completely diverse field could leads to a mutual cross-fertilization of all the above mentioned fields and stimulate their own research!

Collaborative
and Cooperative Environments
Description: Technological advances
in
high-speed networking and computational
grids do not only transform the methods applied to
everyday science,
but also the collaboration and cooperation between scientists at almost
arbitrary locations around the world. The additional provision of
multisensory, immersive Virtual Reality interfaces as tools to improve
the collaboration between groups of human users is another hot topic in
this research domain, which will most likely increase the potential
benefits of these distributed research communities. The vision to
facilitate large scale, complex simulations, which may be steered
through natural and intuitive interfaces, is both intriguing and of
high scientific interest.
This session encourages paper submissions concerning the application and usage of collaborative and cooperative environments, as well as the technologies supporting them in the scientific and industrial context. Authors are expected to emphasize the benefits of their approaches for collaboration and cooperation between human users with focus on up-to-date characteristics of hard-, soft- and middleware aspects. The special session on collaborative and cooperative environments offers the possibility to discuss the different approaches in this domain, to show the latest results, products, or research prototypes to potential users, and to establish connections between developers and users of associated technologies.
