HCW '99 is associated with the Second Merged Symposium of the 13th International Parallel Processing Symposium and the 10th Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing (IPPS/SPDP 1999). IPPS/SPDP 1999 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, through the Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) and is held in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA) and Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (TCDP) and the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH). Heterogeneous computing systems range from diverse elements within a single computer to coordinated, geographically distributed machines with different architectures. A heterogeneous computing system provides a variety of capabilities that can be orchestrated to execute multiple tasks with varied computational requirements. Applications in these environments achieve performance by exploiting the affinity of different tasks to different computational platforms or paradigms, while considering the overhead of inter-task communication and the coordination of distinct data sources and/or administrative domains. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, task profiling, network profiling, configuration tools, scheduling tools, analytic benchmarking, programming paradigms, problem mapping, processor assignment and scheduling, fault tolerance, programming tools, Quality of Service (QoS) metrics, processor selection criteria, compiler assistance, and application studies. The workshop plans to publish the proceedings through the IEEE Computer Society Press. The proceedings will also be available on the Web and on the IPPS/SPDP CD-ROM. See http://garage.ecn.purdue.edu/~maheswar/hcw for the latest information concerning the workshop and http://www.ippsxx.org/ for the latest information on IPPS/SPDP 1999. SUBMITTING PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit summaries of original unpublished research in all areas of heterogeneous computing to the Program Chair. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee and outside referees. Summaries should not exceed five (5) single-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. References, figures, tables, etc. may be included in addition to the five pages of text. The summary should include an abstract of approximately 100 words. Submissions may be by hard copy or email. Authors should submit seven (7) hard copies of their paper to the Program Chair at the address given on this announcement. Electronic submissions should be sent to hcw99@ganges.usc.edu. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) file and make sure that it will print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5 x 11 inch (US letter size) paper. Manuscripts must be received by October 5, 1998. The corresponding author is requested to include in the cover letter: (1) complete postal address; (2) email address; (3) phone number; (4) fax number; and (5) five to seven key phrases that characterize the paper's topic. Receipt of submissions will be promptly acknowledged by email. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by December 11, 1998. Final versions of full camera-ready papers for the proceedings will be due by January 20, 1999. General Chair: John K. Antonio, Texas Tech University Program Chair: Viktor K.
