Description
------------
OpenMPCon is the annual OpenMP Developers conference organized by the 
OpenMP community, for the community. OpenMPCon takes place 28-30 
September in Aachen Germany and will focus on the practical application 
of OpenMP and other directive based languages, to deliver 
high-performance computing through parallel processing. Associated 
workshops, tutorials, special sessions, poster sessions and an 
exhibition will run in parallel with the conference. 

Submissions
------------
Submissions are requested from industry experts, developers and academia 
on all topics related to OpenMP, including but not limited to: 
application development from any discipline, algorithms, performance 
analysis, tools and libraries, optimization, verification, portability 
and education. Sessions can be in the form of technical presentations, 
tutorials and workshops, posters or panel discussions. All submissions 
should be in the form of short abstracts (Minimum 300 words - Maximum 
1,000 words) that will go through a peer review process. Session 
materials will be posted on the OpenMPCon website and will be available 
to conference attendees.
