                    HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING WORKSHOP
                           April 24-25, 1995
                        Santa Barbara, California


                 sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society 
                           Technical Committee 
                          on Parallel Processing

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:  The 4th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (HCW '95),
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel
Processing, will be held in conjunction with the 9th International Parallel
Processing Symposium (IPPS '95), April 24-25, 1995, at  Fess Parker's Red
Lion Resort in Santa Barbara, CA.

SYMPOSIUM:  The 9th International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS '95)
will be held April 25-28 at the Red Lion Resort in Santa Barbara, CA.  The
symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
Parallel Processing in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH.  IPPS '95 is a forum for
engineers and scientists from around the world to present the latest research
findings in all aspects of parallel processing.  A full version of the Call
for Papers  for IPPS 95, as well as updated information on workshops, is
available by anonymous FTP from replicant.csci.unt.edu (login as "anonymous"
and use your email address as the password).  The files are located in
pub/IPPS95.

WORKSHOP:  The 4th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (HCW '95) will be held on
the day preceding the symposium and the first day of the symposium (April
24-25).  For the purpose of this workshop, Heterogeneous Computing is
considered the use of different types of parallel processors, processing
components, or connectivity paradigms to maximize performance, cost-
effectiveness, and/or development effort.  HC might range in mode from coupled
supercomputing-class machines at separated sites (aka metacomputing) to
diverse elements in a single computer (aka mixed-mode processing).  Components
of HC have appeared in the scientific literature over the past few years. They
have included such efforts as the matching of individual code segments to
best-suited machines, the development of heterogeneous processor suites to
span wide problem sets, and the intelligent management of heterogeneous
processor suites.

The workshop will feature an invited address, several sessions of submitted
paper presentations, poster presentations, and a panel discussion.  Authors
are invited to submit manuscripts that demonstrate original unpublished
research in all areas of HC.  The topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, the following:

Code Profiling             Network Profiling      Matching and Scheduling Tools
Analytic Benchmarking      Problem Mapping        Intelligent Management
Orchestration Tools        Metacompilers          Configuration Levels and Modes
Configuration Switching    Crossover Strategies   Processor Selection Criteria
Programming Tools          Programming Paradigms

SUBMITTING PAPERS:  All papers will be reviewed.  Submit five copies of full
papers (not to exceed 20 double-spaced, single-sided pages) or detailed 
extended abstracts (not to exceed 5 double-spaced, single-sided pages) to:

                      Vaidy Sunderam
                      Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science
                      Emory University
                      Atlanta, GA 30322, USA
                      404 727-5926, vss@mathcs.emory.edu

Indicate in your cover letter if you are willing to have your paper included
as a poster if it is not accepted as a paper presentation. Manuscripts must be
received by October 24, 1994.  Due to the large number of anticipated
submissions, manuscripts postmarked later than October 22, 1994 risk
rejection. (Post overseas submissions via airmail.) Notification of review
decisions will be mailed by December 30, 1995.  Camera-ready papers are due
January 27, 1995.  Proceedings will be available at the symposium.

SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA: Fess Parker's Red Lion Resort in Santa Barbara
provides a well-designed meeting facility situated by the Pacific Ocean in
the historic and village-like community of Santa Barbara. It is ninety miles
north of Los Angeles and a one day trip from the wine country and horse
ranches of neighboring Santa Ynez Valley. (And, if you missed Disneyland or
Universal Studios in previous years, this is yet another opportunity to visit
them.)

Santa Barbara offers world class amenities, sightseeing, specialty shops,
and galleries. The area's temperate weather creates ideal conditions for
tennis, golf, and cycling, and the salty water supports surfing, sailing,
and fishing. At the Red Lion Resort, facilities even include a basketball
court!
