Scope:

HIPS 2004 is a full-day workshop to be held at the IPDPS 2004 focusing
on high-level programming of component architectures for parallel and
grid computing.  Its goal is to bring together researchers working in
the areas of applications, computational models, language design,
compilers, system architecture, and programming tools to discuss new
developments in programming component-based systems.  While this
year's workshop focuses on component-based programming, contributions
on other high-level programming models and supportive environments for
parallel and distributed systems are equally welcome.


One of the keys for the advancement of parallel processing are the
existence of high-level programming models and abstractions that allow
one to more easily produce truly efficient applications across a range
of parallel architectures.  The adoption of a component programming
model offers the promise of increased programmer specialization through
a clear separation of the boundaries between program elements.  This
clear separation enhances the opportunity for software reuse as well as
the enhancing the opportunity for unit testing.  However, current
implementations of component-based system for high-performance computing
often suffer from restricted applicability (limiting reuse), from the
lack of corresponding high-level development tools (e.g., performance
analysis and debugging), and from poor performance.  This situation
requires strong research efforts in the design of parallel programming
models and languages supporting component-based systems that are both at
a high conceptual level and implemented efficiently, in the development
of supportive tools, and in the integration of languages and tools into
convenient programming environments.


Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

- Concepts and languages for parallel and Grid computing
     - Component programming models
     - Refactoring of existing applications into components
     - Data Parallel CORBA
     - Language interopability
     - Concurrent object-oriented programming
     - Mobile agents
     - Web services
     - Hybrid programming, e.g. OpenMP/MPI, components/MPI
     - Extensions to traditional programming models, e.g. MPI and OpenMP

- Supportive techniques for component environments and testbeds
     - Architectural and communication support
     - Grid system support
     - Runtime systems
     - Integration into local environments
     - Compiler techniques

- Tools for high-level parallel programming
     - System monitoring
     - Performance contracting, analysis, and optimization
     - Automatic performance analysis support

Papers should describe the interaction of component and other high-level
programming models with compilers, run time systems, and hardware support.
