Networks of computers are the most common and available parallel
architecture now. Unlike dedicated parallel computer systems, networks
are inherently heterogeneous. They consist of diverse computers of
different performances interconnected via heterogeneous network
equipment providing communication links with different latencies and
bandwidths. Traditional parallel algorithms and tools are aimed at
homogeneous multiprocessors and cannot be efficiently used for
parallel computing on heterogeneous networks. New ideas, dedicated
algorithms and tools are needed to efficiently use this new type of
parallel architectures. The workshop is intended to be a forum for
people working on algorithms, programming languages, tools, and
theoretical models aimed at efficient problem solutions on
heterogeneous networks.

Authors are encouraged to submit original, unpublished research or
overviews on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on
Heterogeneous Platforms. Manuscripts should be limited to 10 pages in
Springer LNCS style sheet and submitted through the EasyChair
Conference System:
https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=heteropar2010.
Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published
in revised form in a special Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the Euro-Par conference.


The topics to be covered include but are not limited to:

   * Heterogeneous parallel programming paradigms and models;

   * Languages, libraries, and interfaces for different heterogeneous
     parallel programming models;

   * Performance models and their integration into the design of
     efficient parallel algorithms for heterogeneous platforms;

   * Parallel algorithms for heterogeneous and/or hierarchical
     multi-core systems;

   * Parallel algorithms for efficient problem solving on
     heterogeneous platforms (numerical linear algebra, nonlinear
     systems, fast transforms, computational biology, data mining,
     multimedia, etc.);

   * Software engineering for heterogeneous parallel systems;

   * Applications on heterogeneous platforms;

   * Integration of parallel and distributed computing on
     heterogeneous platforms;

   * Experience of porting parallel software from supercomputers to
     heterogeneous platforms;

   * Fault tolerance of parallel computations on heterogeneous
     platforms;

   * Algorithms, models and tools for grid, desktop grid, cloud, and
     green computing.
