WORKSHOP SCOPE
----------------------
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and 
practitioners in parallel programming models and systems software for 
high-end computing architectures. Please join us in a discussion of new 
ideas, experiences, and the latest trends in these areas at the workshop.

The focus areas for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Systems software for high-end scientific and enterprise computing 
architectures
   + Communication sub-subsystems for high-end computing
   + High-performance File and storage systems
   + Fault-tolerance techniques and implementations
   + Efficient and high-performance virtualization and other management 
mechanisms for high-end computing
- Programming models and their high-performance implementations
   + MPI, Sockets, OpenMP, Global Arrays, X10, UPC, CAF, Chapel, and others
   + Hybrid Programming Models
- Tools for Management, Maintenance, Coordination and Synchronization
   + Software for Enterprise Data-centers using Modern Architectures
   + Job scheduling libraries
   + Management libraries for large-scale system
   + Toolkits for process and task coordination on modern platforms
- Performance evaluation, analysis and modeling of emerging computing 
platforms


PROCEEDINGS
---------------------
Proceedings of this workshop will be published in CD format only and 
will be available at the conference (together with the ICPP conference 
proceedings).

The published papers will be available at the conference in CD format, 
and will be submitted to the IEEE CS Digital Library.


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------
Submissions should be in PDF format in U.S. letter size paper, and 
should be formatted in a double-column format with a font size 10 pt or
