Workshop on
 Tools for Program Development and Analysis
 in Computational Science

at the

 2011 International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2011)
 Tsukuba, Japan, June 1-3, 2011
 http://www.lrz.de/iccs2011/

The use of supercomputing technology, parallel and distributed
processing, and sophisticated algorithms is of major importance for
computational scientists. Yet, the scientists' goals are to solve
their challenging scientific problems, not the software engineering
tasks associated with it.  For that reason, computational science and
engineering must be able to rely on dedicated support from program
development and analysis tools.

The primary intention of this workshop is to bring together developers
of tools for scientific computing and their potential users. Paper
submissions by both tool developers and users from the scientific and
engineering community are encouraged in order to inspire communication
between both groups.  Tool developers can present to users how their
tools support scientists and engineers during program development and
analysis.  Tool users are invited to report their experiences
employing such tools, especially highlighting the benefits and
possible improvements.


The following areas and related topics are of interest:

   * Problem solving environments for specific application domains
   * Application building and software construction tools
   * Domain-specific analysis tools
   * Program visualization and visual programming tools
   * On-line monitoring and computational steering tools
   * Requirements for (new) tools emerging from the application domain

In addition, we encourage software tool developers to describe use
cases and practical experiences of software tools for real-world
applications in the following areas:

   * Tools for parallel, distributed and network-based computing
   * Testing and debugging tools
   * Performance analysis and tuning tools
   * (Dynamic) Instrumentation and monitoring tools
   * Data (re-)partitioning and load-balancing tools
   * Checkpointing and restart tools
   * Tools for resource management, job queuing and accounting

Paper Submission:
-----------------

We invite researchers and developers to submit a full paper of up to
10 pages (A4), describing new and original results, for publication
and oral presentation. The submitted paper must be formatted according
to the rules of Procedia Computer
Science. (http://www.iccs-meeting.org/)

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper.

Please submit your paper via the conference website at
http://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2011/papers/upload.php, selecting the
workshop "Tools for Program Development and Analysis in Computational
Science".


Proceedings:
------------

The proceedings of the ICCS 2011 will be published by Elsevier Science
in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series. The workshop
papers are contained in the same proceeding of the conference.
