         Special Session on Improving MPI User And Developer Interaction
                     http://press.mcs.anl.gov/imudi2011/

Scope:

The IMUDI special session, to be held as a full-day meeting at the
EuroMPI 2011 conference in Santorini, Greece, focuses on bringing
together the MPI end-user and MPI implementor communities through
discussions on MPI usage experiences, techniques, and optimizations.
This meeting will focus on evaluating the MPI standard from the
perspective of the MPI end-user (application and library developers)
and address concerns and insights of MPI implementors and vendors.

Unlike workshops associated with other conferences, the IMUDI session
is still considered to be a part of the Euro MPI conference.
Submissions will be reviewed separately to facilitate bringing
together research publications falling into these "special focus"
areas.

Topics of Interest:

The topics include but are not limited to:
 - Software development and optimization challenges for MPI-based
   applications and libraries
 - Evaluation of existing MPI features and use cases by the MPI application
   and library development community
 - Analysis of MPI-based and alternative programming model implementations of
   applications and libraries
 - New techniques and features to improve the MPI programming model and usage
   by current MPI end-users
 - Analysis of the evolution of the MPI programming model and implementation
   for future HPC systems
 - Analysis of alternative programming model features implemented within MPI

Author instructions:

Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 8 pages. Papers should be
submitted in PDF format using the LNCS style described on the EuroMPI 2011
conference web site.

Submissions should be sent to imudi2011 at mcs.anl.gov

Publication:

Accepted papers will be published in the EuroMPI proceedings as part of
Springer's LNCS series. Accepted contributions are expected to be presented by
one of the authors at EuroMPI 2011 during the IMUDI special session.
