CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Automated Program Generation for Computational Science


http://www.sc.rwth-aachen.de/Events/APGCSatICCS2010/

at  International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2010) -
http://www.iccs-meeting.org/

                           Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 31 - June 02,
2010




The development of correct and efficient software is one of the main
bottlenecks in turning new concepts for modeling and numerics into
reality.
While the power of computers has exploded over the last decades,
programming
productivity in computational science has grown only slowly. Automated
software generation, while not a general solution, is a promising
approach
in certain application areas such as automatic differentiation,
automatic
parallel software generation for computational kernels, and higher-level
programming abstractions for domains such as partial differential
equations.
This approach makes use of a variety of computational science techniques
(e.g., application domain specific compilers/interpreters, mark-up
languages, operator overloading) to transform one, perhaps high level,
problem statement to correct and efficient software required to address
a
related issue. The goal of this workshop is to bring together developers
and
users of such tools to illustrate the state of the art and advance
potential
areas of common interest.



Full papers (at most 10 pages) are due January 8, 2010, authors are
