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 <http://hlpp.eu> 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 12th Symposium on High-Level Parallel 
Programming and Applications will be held in Linköping, Sweden.

HLPP 2019 invites papers on all topics in high-level parallel 
programming, its tools and applications including, but not limited to, 
the following aspects:

* High-level parallel programming and performance models (e.g. BSP,
CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.) and tools
* Declarative parallel programming methodologies based on functional,
logical, data-flow, actor, and other paradigms
* Algorithmic skeletons, patterns, etc. and constructive methods
* High-level parallelism in programming languages and libraries (e.g,
Haskell, Scala, C++, etc.): semantics and implementation
* Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs
* Efficient code generation, auto-tuning and optimization for parallel
programs
* Model-driven software engineering for parallel systems
* Domain-specific languages: design, implementation and applications
* High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical
platforms with accelerators, e.g., GPU, Many-core, DSP, VPU, FPGA, etc.
* High-level parallel methods for large structured and semi-structured
datasets
* Applications of parallel systems using high-level languages and tools
* Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods

Papers submitted to HLPP-2019 must describe original research results 
and must not have been published or simultaneously submitted anywhere 
else. For formatting and submission see 
https://www.ida.liu.se/conferences/hlpp2019/submission.shtml
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews by members of the 
program committee and designated reviewers. 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 2019 symposium and present the paper. Informal proceedings 
with the camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be available at 
the symposium. After the symposium, there will be ample time to revise 
the paper incorporating reviewer comments. Authors of accepted and 
presented papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their 
paper for publication in a special issue of /International  Journal of 
Parallel Programming/ (Springer).

HLPP-2019 will also include tutorials and an open poster session for 
ongoing (esp., European) research projects related to the scope of the 
symposium.
