OONSKI '93 - Call for Papers

[Margaret Chapman]

OONSKI'93 CALL FOR PAPERS

OBJECT ORIENTED NUMERICS CONFERENCE
(Sponsored by Rogue Wave Software in Cooperation with SIAM)

Sunriver, Oregon
April 25-27, 1993

Theme: This conference will concern itself with Object-Oriented Numerics:
the use of modern object- oriented techniques in the design of software
solutions to numerical problems.

There will be three separate focus areas:

1.   Reusable software components - One of the promises of object-oriented
     design is easily reusable code.  In this area, papers are invited on the
     design and implementation of libraries of numerical classes intended for
     use as building blocks in applications.

2.   Applications - Only rarely can a large application be built entirely
     from off-the- shelf components.  More often, application-specific classes
     are built by putting together existing components and custom-built
     components.  In this area papers are invited on application-specific
     designs and their object-oriented implementations.

3.   Parallelism - Although parallel processing allows far larger numerical
     problems to be solved, the algorithms can be difficult to implement. In
     this area papers are invited on the use of object-oriented techniques to
     manage the complexity of parallel models of computation.  Both new
     languages and innovative uses of existing languages will be considered.

4.   Object Oriented Compiler Technology - Performance with respect to both
     memory utilization and speed must always be addressed for numeric
     applications.  Papers presenting difficulties encountered with current
     compiler tools and languages as well as advances in either compiler
     implementations and/or language characteristics will be considered.

AUTHOR INFORMATION:
Authors are invited to submit:

1.   One page abstract containing 50-80 words, the title of the
     presentation, author names, affiliation, addresses, fax numbers,
     telephones, and the person who will present the work if accepted.

2.   An extended summary of at least 500 words, or a full paper.

     program committee, and accepted papers will be published in the
     conference proceedings.  Authors will be notified of acceptance or
     rejection via email (or fax if necessary)
