WoPLA'03: Workshop on Parallel Linear Algebra
A Workshop on Parallel Linear Algebra, WoPLA'03, will be held in
conjunction with The International Conference
on Computational Science 2003 (ICCS 2003) on the 2nd-4th June 2003
in Melbourne, Australia.
The Workshop co-chairs are
Markus Hegland and
Peter Strazdins.
Parallel linear algebra is a key enabling technology for much of
computational science, engineering, data analysis and even data
retrieval. The goal of the workshop is to present new results
and review current research in parallel and high performance
numerical linear algebra.
The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of
parallel and high performance
linear algebra like algorithms, implementation, applications
and theory. We would in particular encourage PhD students to attend and
participate in the workshop. We anticipate to have some limited
support for PhD students, please contact the organisors about this
if you are interested.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Direct and iterative solvers for linear systems of equations
- Eigenvalue problems and singular value decomposition
- Least squares and optimisation
- Algorithms for shared and distributed memory systems
- Programming paradigms for parallel linear algebra (e.g., MPI and OpenMP)
- Cache-oblivious and other memory-efficient methods
- Grid computing
- Industrial applications
- Algorithms for the solution of discretised partial differential equations
- Applications in data retrieval, compression, data mining and
computational statistics
Papers in this area of up to 10 pages (A4 paper) are sought for
oral presentation. Submitted papers must be original, containing
results and material not published previously. The submitted paper must be
formatted according to the rules of LNCS.
See
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for formatting
information. All papers selected for this Workshop will be
peer-reviewed and published in ICCS conference proceedings. The
proceedings of the Conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
A PDF version of your paper should be submitted by email to wopla03[at]maths.anu.edu.au.

at University of Tennessee will give the keynote address for
the Workshop.
See the ICCS
page for the Advance Program.

Based on the WoPLA'03 papers, we have been invited to put together a
special issue Linear Algebra for High Performance Computational
Science for the journal Future Generation Computer
Systems, a publication by Elsevier.
The requirements for such an issue are 10 to 15 papers, of 10 to 15
pages each.
Since there were only 7 papers in WoPLA'03, we also invite authors of
other papers which also fit in with the theme of
WoPLA'03 to submit their work to the Special Issue.
Suitable papers
should thus present original developments in linear algebra and demonstrate
their potential for high-performance scientific applications.
See the
cfp for more details on the scope of the special issue.
Manuscripts should be of 10 to 15 pages and formatted according to FGCS
guidelines. See the Author Gateway section of the FGCS site for
further details on preparation of manuscripts. Note that there is a class
file for Latex2E users. PDF copies of manuscripts should be emailed
to the Guest Editors at wopla03[at]maths.anu.edu.au.
The submission date has been extended to 16 February 2004, with a
likely publication date of Oct 2004.
