ACM 1997 Workshop on
Java for Science and Engineering Computation

Sponsored by SIGPLAN and SIGNUM
Las Vegas, Nevada, June 21, 1997
(In Conjunction with ACM SIGPLAN PPoPP)
http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/javaforcse/oldwei/javaworkshop.html

The workshop on Java for Science and Engineering Computation is aimed at discussing all issues of using Java in simulations where today we use Fortran and C++. We include both classic Grand Challenge applications and libraries as well as distributed simulation as in Forces Modeling seen in SIMNET/DSI. We include both parallel and sequential applications but will only consider Java for simulation as opposed to major commercial use of Java in Web Servers. We include both optimized Java native compilers for numerical kernels and interpreted Java "wrappers" for visualization. We also include research issues on Java language, compilers, interpreters and runtime systems.

The workshop is aimed at getting a broad perspective of community interests and views, as well as more technical discussions. A similar Java workshop was held very successfully in Syracuse in 1996 (http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/javaforcse). A mailing list has been created for people interested in Java for Science and Engineering Computation. To join, send a message with "subscribe java-for-cse" to Majordomo@npac.syr.edu.
