> Due to the limited life-span of today's supercomputers, achieving
> performance portability of parallel codes is of critical importance.
> Although Java was not specifically designed for the computationally
> intensive numeric applications that are the typical fodder of
> supercomputers, its widespread popularity and portability make it an
> interesting candidate for high-performance computing;  however, many
> open research questions remain regarding the viability of high
> performance Java-enabled environments.  These encompass topics ranging
> from compiler/runtime optimizations to the language design to
> interfacing with legacy libraries.
> 
> Papers are solicited for a Special Issue of Scientific Programming,
> tentatively scheduled to be published in July, 1999.
> The purpose of this special issue is to focus on the fast-paced
> developments, experiences and research supporting high-performance
> execution of Java codes for numerical applications.
>   
>   
> Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
> 
> o JITs/Dynamic compilation
> o Native code generation
> o Analysis of numeric applications
> o Compiler optimizations
> o Garbarge collection
> o Language Specification (floating-point, array, object and thread models) 
> o JVM design and implementation
> o Scalability issues
> o Highly parallel implementations
> o Distributed/web-based implementaions
> o Interfacing with legacy libraries

> Authors should follow the Information for Authors at the end of each
> issue of Scientific Programming when preparing their manuscripts for 
> submission. An electronic copy of the manuscript, in Postscript format 
> and viewable with ghostview, should be submitted via electronic mail 
> to the guest editor by July 31, 1998. Submissions
> should include authors names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone 
> numbers, email addresses, on the cover page. Only original manuscripts
> will be considered. All papers will undergo a peer review process. Authors 
> will be notified of the final publication decision by December 31, 1998.
