Description:
Research into problem-solving environments (PSEs) is an active and expanding field, with the potential for a wide impact on high performance computing. PSEs provide software tools and expert assistance to the user, and serve as an easy-to-use interface to high performance computing resources, thereby allowing the rapid prototyping of ideas, detailed analysis, and higher productivity. The conference gives a broad interpretation to what is meant by a PSE, but in general a PSE provides a complete integrated computing environment for composing, compiling, and running applications in a specific problem area. A PSE may also incorporate many features of an expert system, and provides extensive assistance to users in formulating problems, running the problem on an appropriate computing platform, and viewing and analysing the results. In addition, a PSE may have access to web-based information resources, sophisticated job control systems, and visualisation environments. PSEs may incorporate compute-intensive components, such as the solution of a complex mathematical model, and/or data-intensive components employed, for example, in Geographical Information Systems or database applications.
The conference will address not only PSEs themselves, but also the software infrastructure used to construct them. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
distributed computing computational science and engineeing software technologies such as Java, CORBA, and XML load balancing and resource scheduling in distributed computing environments mobile agents immersive visualisation environments computational steering advanced visualisation techniques knowledge discovery the remote control of scientific instruments concurrent and collaborative engineering
