This book contains a refereed collection of revised papers selected from the presentations at the France-Japan Workshop on Object-Based Parallel and Distributed Computation, OBPDC'95, held in Tokyo in June 1995. The 18 full papers included in the book constitute a representative, well-balanced set of timely research contributions to the growing field of object-based concurrent computing. The volume is organized in sections on massively parallel programming languages, distributed programming languages, formalisms, distributed operating systems, dependable distributed computing, and software management.
PDSIA '99 was the fourth in a series of international workshops on parallel symbolic computing, a basic yet challenging area with wide applications in high-performance computing. As in the previous meetings, parallel symbolic languages and systems were the major topics. However, reflecting the latest advances in distributed computing systems, the workshop also encompassed wider perspectives in parallel and distributed computing for symbolic and irregular applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP '96, held in Linz, Austria, in July 1996. The 21 full papers included in revised version were selected from a total of 173 submissions, based on technical quality and originality criteria. The papers reflect the most advanced issues in the field of object-oriented programming and cover a wide range of current topics, including applications, programming languages, implementation, specification, distribution, databases, and design.
This book presents the leading edge in several related fields, specifically object orientated programming, open distributed systems and formal methods for object oriented systems. With increased support within industry regarding these areas, this book captures the most up-to-date information on the subject. Many topics are discussed, including the following important areas: object oriented design and programming; formal specification of distributed systems; open distributed platforms; types, interfaces and behaviour; formalisation of object oriented methods.
Contains papers presented at the October 1998 SIAM Workshop on Object Oriented Methods for Interoperable Scientific and Engineering Computing that covered a variety of topics and issues related to designing and implementing computational tools for science and engineering.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Parallel Computing Technologies, PaCT 2001, held in Novosibirsk, Russia in September 2001. The 36 revised full papers and 13 posters presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The papers presented span the whole range of parallel processing from theory and software through architecture and applications. Among the topics addressed are shared memory systems, formal methods, networks of processes, cellular automata, mobile data access systems, Java programming, neuro-cluster computing, network clusters, load balancing, etc.
Topics in Parallel and Distributed Computing provides resources and guidance for those learning PDC as well as those teaching students new to the discipline. The pervasiveness of computing devices containing multicore CPUs and GPUs, including home and office PCs, laptops, and mobile devices, is making even common users dependent on parallel processing. Certainly, it is no longer sufficient for even basic programmers to acquire only the traditional sequential programming skills. The preceding trends point to the need for imparting a broad-based skill set in PDC technology. However, the rapid changes in computing hardware platforms and devices, languages, supporting programming environments, and research advances, poses a challenge both for newcomers and seasoned computer scientists. This edited collection has been developed over the past several years in conjunction with the IEEE technical committee on parallel processing (TCPP), which held several workshops and discussions on learning parallel computing and integrating parallel concepts into courses throughout computer science curricula. - Contributed and developed by the leading minds in parallel computing research and instruction - Provides resources and guidance for those learning PDC as well as those teaching students new to the discipline - Succinctly addresses a range of parallel and distributed computing topics - Pedagogically designed to ensure understanding by experienced engineers and newcomers - Developed over the past several years in conjunction with the IEEE technical committee on parallel processing (TCPP), which held several workshops and discussions on learning parallel computing and integrating parallel concepts

This book constitutes the strictly refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Communication and Architectural Support for Network-Based Parallel Computing, CANPC'98, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, in January/February 1998. The 18 revised full papers presented were selected from 38 submissions on the basis of four to five reviews per paper. The volume comprises a representative compilation of state-of-the-art solutions for network-based parallel computing. Several new interconnection technologies, new software schemes and standards are studied and developed to provide low-latency and high-bandwidth interconnections for network-based parallel computing.
