ICCS 2016 - Tools for Program Development and Analysis in Computational Science

New: Submission deadline extended to January 31, 2016! Please submit your paper through the following link, selecting the workshop on "Tools for Program Development and Analysis in Computational Science" when submitting your paper through Easychair.

>> Submit your paper via Easychair

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 the improvements possible by doing so.

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
