The special issue will focus on the theme of new trends in programming and 
execution models for parallel architectures, heterogeneously distributed systems
and mobile computing. Papers addressing the following topics will be considered:

programming paradigms: (integration of) task and data parallelism, 
client/server and mobile computing models, distributed object oriented models, 
integration of multiprocessing and multithreading;

models for emerging architectures: clusters of SMPs, virtual shared memory, 
wide area networks;

application domain oriented models: databases, data mining, design and 
interaction patterns for distributed OO, skeletons.

The special issue will feature a keynote paper by
Prof. Gul Agha, Director of the Open Systems Laboratory at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
