This is the third in a series of successful conferences centering on design, implementation, and realization of cluster parallel and dedicated parallel message passing systems, applications, and related software technology, centering originally on the standards of the MPI Forum. The first two meetings were held at the University of Notre Dame in 1996 and 1997. This conference is broadened to include the real-time MPI (MPI/RT) standard as well. This conference features preconference tutorials on MPI-1, MPI-2, and MPI/RT as well as a formal proceedings that will be made available at the conference. Each papers and poster proposed for inclusion will be refereed by at least two anonymous referees. Topics of Interest for submission and presentation include but are not limited to: * Applications * Efficient implementations of MPI-1, MPI-2, and MPI/RT * Utilization of MPI with new cluster interconnects, such as VI Architecture * Message passing parallel computing in new environments, such as Java * Comparisons of technology such as DCOM and CORBA with MPI * Integration of MPI with scheduling * Performance, security, and scheduling issues for MPI in cluster settings * Embedded and real-time utilizations of MPI and MPI/RT * Interoperability Approaches (IMPI) * Progress, Multi-protocol, and Thread-safe MPIs * Data Reorganization Strategies and Emerging Standards * Tools for Middleware Validation, Program Performance Monitoring, and Debugging * Extensions to Message Passing Standards, Integration with Other standards Up-to-date Information: www.mpidc.org, or mpidc-info@mpidc.org (both will be up by October 15, 1998, in meantime write to tony@cs.msstate.edu) Organizing Committee Mark Baker, University Portsmouth, mab@sis.port.ac.uk Judy Devaney, NIST, judy@cam.nist.gov Richard Games, The MITRE Corporation, rg@mitre.org Arkady Kanevsky, The MITRE Corporation, arkady@mitre.org David Likfa, Cornell University, lifka@tc.cornell.edu Andrew Lumsdaine, University of Notre Dame Ewing Lusk, Argonne National Laboratory, lusk@mcs.anl.gov Anthony Skjellum, Mississippi State University and MPI Software Technology, Inc Chairs Anthony Skjellum, Conference Co-Chair, tony@cs.msstate.edu Andrew Lumsdaine, Conference Co-Chair, lums@lsc.nd.edu Deadlines Contributed papers are due by December 7, 1998. These should follow the two-column, IEEE-type style; full papers, representing mature projects should be 10 pages or less in length. Short papers should follow the same guidelines, and be 6 pages or less in length, representing work that is more preliminary or lacking specific results. Poster presentation proposals should include a two-page paper of the same format, describing the main contents of the poster. Papers must be original in content and not be simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Authors will be notified of acceptability of manuscripts by January 15, and final papers will be due by February 1, 1999. The proceedings will be distributed at the meeting. Proposals for pre-conference tutorials should be received by November 15, 1998. Notification of the acceptability of the tutorials will be made by December 15, 1998. Tutorials will have to be self-supporting, but excess over costs will be provided to tutorial proposers to defray travel expenses, and registration expenses at MPIDC'99, insofar as possible.. Participation The widest possible participation is sought. International, student, government, and industrial participants are encouraged to attend, in addition to academic participants. Attendance at the three-day meeting is $300, for registration by February 1, 1999, and $450 thereafter. This includes three conference lunches, and a conference banquet, as well as one copy of the proceeedings. Conference tutorial topics and schedule will announced in early January, 1999. On-site registration is strongly discouraged in favor of advance registration to help control costs. Registration payments made payable to MPIDC, % Anthony Skjellum, Mississippi State University, PO Box 9637, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA. +1-601-325-8435.
