Continuing a tradition established in 1993, the fourth Working Conference on Massively Parallel Programming Models solicits papers in any of the following or related areas: abstract parallel programming models convergence between parallel and distributed programming models for network-embedded supercomputing applications We especially encourage submissions proposing innovative high-level abstractions for common characteristics of existing and future parallel architectures. These aspects have been largely neglected in current proposals. We are seeking models that make explicit, say, the common characteristics of the memory hierarchy. Also of interest is the efficient mapping of such new abstractions to concrete architectures. Previous MPPM conferences succeeded in attracting high-quality highly relevant papers from prominent researchers in the field. The conference itself has proved an ideal forum for the exchange of ideas. Paper Submission Guidelines: Submissions must be unpublished, not have been submitted for publication elsewhere, and should not exceed 15 pages. All submissions must be sent electronically in PostScript format to the program chair. If this is not possible, four hard copies may be sent. Submissions should include author's name, address, and phone number, as well as electronic address and fax number, if available. Detailed instructions on electronic submissions can be obtained from the submission page or by sending a mail message with subject submission information to the address mppm99-subm@swt.cs.tu-berlin.de. We recommend that you follow closely Springer-Verlag's authors instructions. Papers that are late, too long or that require major revision will be rejected. The final proceedings will probably be published by Springer in the LNCS series.
