	Euro-Par'96 WORKSHOP #17: SCHEDULING AND LOAD BALANCING  
		ENS Lyon, France, August 27--29, 1996

PROGRAM COMMITTEE: 
Apostolos Gerasoulis, Rutgers U., New Brunswick, USA, Chair. 
Constantine Polychronopoulos, U. of Illinois, Urbana, USA, Vice Chair. 
Tao Yang, U. of California, Santa Barbara, USA, Vice Chair. 
Philippe Chretienne, LITP, Paris, France, Local Chair. 

WORKSHOP TOPICS:   
Scheduling and load balancing techniques are essential to high
performance computing on massively parallel machines and networked
workstations.  This workshop covers the areas of theory, applications
and software systems that involve the issues of scheduling and
resource management for efficient computation, communication and I/O
on homogeneous or heterogeneous platforms. Topics of interests
include:
 
* Static and dynamic scheduling.  Load balancing and resource management.   
* Program and data partitioning. Compile-time and run-time optimization. 
* Software tools  and programming systems with respect to 
  scheduling and load balancing on homogeneous or heterogeneous platforms.
* Scheduling and load balancing in scientific computing and  multi-media 
	applications.
   

MEETING OVERVIEW:
Euro-Par is the annual European conference in Parallel Processing.  It
merges the former ParLE and ConPar-VAPP conferences, two major events
of the field. The 1996 version will consist of a large panel of highly
focused workshops on all aspects of parallel processing, from theory
to practice, from academy to industry. They are expected to present
the latest advances in their respective domains.  They will be
introduced by several high level tutorials of general interest. More
than 20 workshops have been launched in parallel, ranging from 1/2 to
2 days. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published
by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series.
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Further information on Euro-Par is available at URL
http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/europar96 . It includes the list of all
workshops. Please send all information requests and comments to
europar96@lip.ens-lyon.fr .  Register today on the Euro-Par'96 mailing
list by sending us a mail!  See below for additional information.
 
SUBMISSION CONSTRAINTS:
Submissions are expected to be no longer than 15 pages .  The cover
page must clearly indicate the name, address, affiliation, phone and
fax numbers and electronic address of the author(s), plus a 100-word
abstract.  The workshop number (#17) and the workshop title
(Scheduling and Load Balancing) related to each submitted paper must
also be clearly indicated on the cover page.  The official languages
of the conference are English.  Submitted papers must not be
simultaneously under review for any other conference, and authors must
point out any substantial overlap with their previously published
work.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS:

 Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged.  They are mandatory
for all people having access to standard electronic facilities.  They
should consist of two e-mails.  The first one containing an ASCII
cover page, giving the author's full name, address, telephone number,
fax number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract and keywords.  The
second one with the printable file, most preferably in attachment.

Accepted formats are uuencoded and compressed EPSF PostScript files
(most preferably generated by dvips ).  Important!  We are sorry not
to be able to accommodate other file formats. If at all possible,
please attempt to print the document on more than one brand/model of
laser printers. If your program requests it, assume that the document
will be printed on a 300 DPI standard PostScript Unix Sun laser
printer.  We will do our best to get all files printed. If a file
cannot be printed in spite of all our efforts, we will have to reject
the electronic submission.  In case of doubt, send us a (possibly
preliminary) paper version of the submission before the February 4,
1996 paper deadline (one copy is enough in this case). We will
consider that the electronic version of the submission, if printable,
is the final one.

ADDRESSES:

The files should be mailed to europar96@lip.ens-lyon.fr and received
at this address before February 18, 1996, 12:00 GMT .  Please note
this is a firm deadline.

Paper submissions are only allowed for people without easy access to
standard electronic facilities.  Authors should send 6 copies of their
submission to the official address below, postmarked before February
4, 1996 .  Please note this is a firm deadline. Proceedings.
