                      TOPIC 1 - DESCRIPTION

With the complexity of current and future parallel and distributed 
architectures, application programmers need tools and environments to 
facilitate design, programming, testing, debugging, performance analysis, 
and tuning. This topic aims to bring together tool designers, developers, 
and users, to share ideas, concepts, and products in this field. A wide variety 
of tools can be employed during implementation and in the production phase of 
a parallel program. Accepted papers will cover individual tools supporting 
implementation and production phases, practical experiences with tools and 
comparisons between different tools, as well as concepts and implementations 
for infrastructure for these types of tools. 
These tools and infrastructures should target issues such as large-scale 
clusters, grids, hybrid message passing and shared memory programming, and 
heterogeneity.

Focus
-	Programming Environments, interoperable tool environments
-	Debugging (off-line, on-line, threads, message passing, 
        lightweight kernels)
-	Checkers (correctness, threads, message passing, memory leaks)
-	Performance Analysis (manual and automatic)
-	Visualization (program flow, data)
-	System-integrated load balancing
-	Instrumentation and monitoring techniques
-	Integration of tools, compilers and operating systems
-	Tool infrastructures
-	Tool evaluation
-	Tool scalability for hundreds and thousands of processing elements
-	Hybrid shared memory and message passing tools
-	Tools and environments for clusters and grids

                    MISSION STATEMENT - EURO-PAR

Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to
the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and
distributed computing. Each year, the conference normally attracts
more than 300 participants coming from universities, research centres
and industry. Euro-Par 2006 will represent 18 topics
(http://www.europar2006.de/index.php?page=3) in the categories
of hardware, software, algorithms and applications, and will also
include tutorials, invited talks, and co-located workshops.
Besides, the planed Grid Village provides an opportunity to showcase
the latest developments in Grid technology with demonstration and hands
on experiences.
