Developing parallel or distributed applications is a difficult task and it requires adequate programming abstractions and models, efficient design tools, high performance languages and libraries, and experimental validation. This topic provides a forum for presentation of new results and practical experience in this domain. It emphasizes research that facilitates the design and development of high-performance, correct, portable, and scalable parallel programs.
Related to these central needs, we also welcome contributions that assess programming abstractions, models and methods for reusability, performance prediction, scalability, self-adaptation, rapid prototyping and fault-tolerance, as needed, for instance, in dynamic heterogeneous parallel and distributed infrastructures. We urge authors to include quantitative evaluations to substantiate their claims.
