HLPP 2018: High Level Parallel Programming
Orléans, France, July 12-13, 2018
===============================================================================


Conference website http://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/equipes/LMV/hlpp2018/

Submission deadline April 6, 2018 (Extended : May 4th, 2018)

Aims and scope of HLPP
===============================================================================


As processor and system manufacturers increase the amount of both inter-
and
intra-chip parallelism it becomes crucial to provide the software
industry with high-level,
clean and efficient tools for parallel programming. Parallel and
distributed programming
methodologies are currently dominated by low-level techniques such as
send/receive
message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms.
Higher-level,
structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role
to play in the
scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism. Since 2001 the HLPP
series of workshops/symposia
has been a forum for researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts,
tools and applications for
high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software
quality, programming
productivity and high-level performance models. The 11th Symposium on
High-Level Parallel
Programming and Applications will be held in Orléans, France.

===============================================================================
Submission Guidelines
===============================================================================


Papers submitted to HLPP2018 must describe original research results and
must not have
been published or simultaneously submitted anywhere else. Manuscripts
must be prepared
with the Springer IJPP Latex macro package
http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/468198/application/zip/LaTeX.zip,
using the single column option (\documentclass[smallextended]{svjour3}),
and submitted via
the EasyChair Conference System
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hlpp2018, as one PDF file.
The strict page limit for initial submission and camera-ready version is
18 pages in the
aforementioned format. Each paper will receive a minimum of three
reviews by members of
the program committee. Papers will be selected based on their
originality, relevance, technical
clarity, and quality of presentation. At least one author of each
accepted paper must register
for the HLPP 2018 symposium and present the paper. After the symposium,
you have ample
time to revise the paper incorporating potential comments and remarks of
your colleagues.
