BACKGROUND 

HPC-GECO/CompFrame 2007 is the second joint event from the HPC-GECO
and CompFrame workshop series. This two day workshop focuses on the
role of component and framework technologies in high-performance and
scientific computing, and on high-level, component-based and
innovative programming tools and environments to efficiently develop
high performance applications and exploit them both on individual
massively parallel systems and on the Grid.

TOPICS

Submissions are welcome of original works, which are not already
published or under review, dealing with high-level and component-based
approaches to HPC and Grid Computing. The list of relevant topics
includes, but is not limited to:

* Component models and frameworks
* Component-based Grid Platforms
* Programming environments and paradigms
* Analysis and comparison of existing programming approaches
* Integration of different distributed/Grid/HPC programming frameworks
* Tools and Environments for Coupling of Parallel Application codes
* Application-level and support-level management of performance, QoS,
  faults, dynamicity, architecture heterogeneity
* Application-level QoS contract description and enforcement
* Advanced middleware systems as a device to efficiently exploit Grid
  resources (e.g. high-bandwidth, innovative networks) in high-level
  programming environments
* Case studies and experiments of large and geographic scale
  high-level HPC applications, large-scale data/analysis
* Applicability of software engineering techniques for restructuring
  and integration
* High-level approaches for emerging HPC architectures, including
  clusters of reconfigurable computing units and multicore processors
* Approaches to development, deployment, repositories, debugging, and
  testing for components in HPC environments
* Extending component definitions beyond interface syntax
