Which is why so many people are searching for something better, and why so much numerical code is being translated into C++ (despite its obvious deficiencies). By coincidence, I received the following from the advanced-java list today, I'll include it so you can ask yourself "Why not Ada Grande?". (BTW, while operator overloading is not part of Java today, it will be in the future according to Gosling.) It seems to me that Ada is better suited to this problem space than Java since it has a) _optional_ GC and b) static data structures. Perhaps what Ada needs most is a Java-like syntax front-end. ;-) Terry --begin quoted message-- To: advanced-java@xcf.berkeley.edu Subject: ACM 2000 Java Grande Conference (10 days, 2 weekends left) Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2000 07:55:29 +0100 Dear Colleague, Please find attached the Call for Papers for the ACM 2000 Java Grande Conference. I would appreciate it if you would help ensure the wide publicity of this event by forwarding the call to colleagues who you think might be interested in submitting a paper. Please note: Due to NSF ITR proposal deadline the due dates for JG2000 have been changed. See below. We look forward to your submission. Thanks, Michael Philippsen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ACM 2000 Java Grande Conference (NOTICE: Due to NSF ITR proposal deadline the due dates for JG2000 have been changed. See below.) Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN San Francisco, California, June 3-4, 2000 http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/java00 The Java Grande Conference focuses on the use of Java in the broad area of high-performance computing; including engineering and scientific applications, simulations, data-intensive applications, and other emerging application areas that exploit parallel and distributed computing or combine communication and computing. A day of tutorials will be held on the day following the conference. The conference precedes the JavaOne 2000 conference, which would enable the Java Grande attendees to expose themselves to the latest in basic Java Technology. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that demonstrate timely results, technologies, or experiences that are most likely to have impact on the use of Java in high performance computing systems. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: Java use for scientific and engineering applications Java frameworks and libraries for high-performance computing Implementation techniques for Java on high-performance systems Java numerics and Java extensions for high-performance computing Java compilation and optimization for high-performance computing Java development tools and environments for high-performance computing Java performance and benchmarking SUBMISSION Papers should report new research and should not exceed 5000 words (approximately 10 pages typeset on 16 point spacing, or 15 typewritten double-spaced pages). The program committee will review each submission and select papers based on originality, timeliness, relevance, and clarity. All accepted papers will be presented at the conference, and published in the conference proceedings. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. Please e-mail a Postscript or PDF copy of your submission to java00@icase.edu or send 15 hard copies to the program chair. Submissions must be received by January 17, 2000. Authors will be notified by Feb 25, 2000. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign a copyright release form. Proceedings will be distributed at the conference and will subsequently be available from ACM. Papers published in proceedings are eligible for subsequent publication in refereed ACM journals at the discretion of the editor of the particular journal. Papers describing essentially the same work must not have been published elsewhere or be simultaneously under consideration for publication elsewhere. People interested in contributing a tutorial (.5 or 1 day) should contact the program chair by Jan 31, 2000. The tutorials will be held on June 5, 2000. IMPORTANT DATES Papers due: Jan 17, 2000. Tutorial Proposals due: Jan 31, 2000. Acceptance notice: Feb. 25, 2000 Final Papers due: March 24, 2000 CONFERENCE CHAIR Dennis Gannon Department of Computer Science Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47401 and NAS Division NASA Ames Research Center MS 258-5 Moffet Field, CA 94035 Phone: (650) 604 1934 gannon@cs.indiana.edu PROGRAM CHAIR Piyush Mehrotra ICASE MS 132C 3 West Reid Street - Building 1152 NASA Langley Research Center Hampton, VA 23681 Phone: (757)-864-2188 Fax: (757)-864-6134 pm@icase.edu PROGRAM COMMITTEE Henri Bal, Vrije University Sandra Baylor, IBM Aart Bik, Intel Corporation Siddartha Chatterjee, University of North Carolina Ken Kennedy, Rice University Scott Kohn, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Arvind Krishnamurthy, Yale University Timothy Lindohm, Sun Microsystems Satoshi Matsuoka, Tokyo Institute of Technology Roldan Pozo, NIST Vivek Sarkar, IBM Suresh Srinivas, SGI Vaidy Sunderam, Emory University Gregor von Laszewzki, Argonne National Laboratory Martin Westhead, EPCC Kathy Yelick, University of California at Berkeley PUBLICITY CHAIR Michael Philippsen Computer Science Department University of Karlsruhe Am Fasanengarten 5 76128 Karlsruhe Germany Phone: 49-721-608-4067 Fax: 49-721-608-7343 phlipp@ira.uka.de
