OONSKI'93 CALL FOR PAPERS

OBJECT ORIENTED NUMERICS CONFERENCE
(Sponsored by Rogue Wave Software in Cooperation with SIAM)

Sunriver, Oregon
April 25-27, 1993

Theme:
This conference will concern itself with Object-Oriented Numerics:  
the use of modern object-oriented techniques in the design of software 
solutions to numerical problems.

There will be four separate focus areas:

1.)  Reusable software components - One of the promises of object-
oriented design is easily reusable code.  In this area, papers are 
invited on the design and implementation of libraries of numerical 
classes intended for use as building blocks in applications.

2.)  Applications - Only rarely can a large application be built 
entirely from off-the-shelf components.  More often, application-
specific classes are built by putting together existing components and 
custom-built components.  In this area papers are invited on 
application-specific designs and their object-oriented implementations.

3.)  Parallelism - Although parallel processing allows far larger 
numerical problems to be solved, the algorithms can be difficult to 
implement. In this area papers are invited on the use of object-oriented 
techniques to manage the complexity of parallel models of computation.  
Both new languages and innovative uses of existing languages will be 
considered.

4.)  Object Oriented Compiler Technology - Performance with respect to 
both memory utilization and speed must always be addressed for numeric 
applications.  Papers presenting difficulties encountered with current 
compiler tools and languages as well as advances in either compiler 
implementations and/or language characteristics will be considered.

AUTHOR INFORMATION FOR CALL FOR PAPERS:
Authors are invited to submit:
1.)  One page abstract containing 50-80 words, the title of the 
presentation, author names, affiliation, addresses, fax numbers, 
telephones, and the person who will present the work if accepted.

2.)  An extended summary of at least 500 words, or a full paper.

rejection via email (or fax if necessary)
