------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heterogeneity is emerging as one of the most profound and challenging
characteristics of today's parallel environments. From the macro level,
where networks of distributed computers composed of diverse node
architectures are interconnected with potentially heterogeneous networks,
to the micro level, where deeper memory hierarchies and various accelerator
architectures are increasingly common, the impact of heterogeneity on all
computing tasks is increasing rapidly. Traditional parallel algorithms,
programming environments and  tools, designed for legacy homogeneous
multiprocessors, will at best achieve a small fraction of the efficiency
and the potential performance that we should expect from parallel computing
in tomorrow's highly diversified and mixed environments. New ideas,
innovative algorithms, and specialized programming environments and tools
are needed to efficiently use these new and multifarious parallel
architectures.
The workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers working on
algorithms,
programming languages, tools, and theoretical models aimed at efficiently
solving problems on heterogeneous platforms.

Topics
---------
The topics to be covered include but are not limited to:

 * Heterogeneous parallel programming paradigms and models
 * Languages, libraries, and interfaces for different heterogeneous
   parallel programming models
 * Performance models and their integration into the design of efficient
   parallel algorithms for heterogeneous platforms
 * Parallel algorithms for heterogeneous and/or hierarchical multi-core
   systems, including manycores and hardware accelerators (FPGAs, GPUs,
   Xeon Phi, etc.)
 * Parallel algorithms for efficient problem solving on heterogeneous
platforms
   (numerical linear algebra, nonlinear systems, fast transforms,
   computational biology, data mining, multimedia, etc.)
 * Software engineering for heterogeneous parallel systems
 * Applications on heterogeneous platforms
 * Algorithms, models and tools for energy optimization on heterogeneous
   platforms
 * Bi-objective optimization of applications on heterogeneous platforms for
   performance and energy
 * Integration of parallel and distributed computing on heterogeneous
platforms
 * Experience of porting parallel software from supercomputers to
   heterogeneous platforms
 * Fault tolerance of parallel computations on heterogeneous platforms
 * Algorithms, models and tools for grid, desktop grid, cloud,
   and green computing

Submission Guidelines
-------------------------------
Authors are encouraged to submit original, unpublished research or
overviews on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on
Heterogeneous Platforms. Manuscripts should be limited to 12 pages
(including references) in Springer LNCS stylesheet and submitted

will be published in revised form in a special Euro-Par Workshop
Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after
the Euro-Par conference.

Journal Special Issue
-----------------------------
