The 2008 International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP 2008) will be held
on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.  IWOMP is
the premier opportunity to learn more about parallel programming with
OpenMP and to interact with OpenMP users and developers. The workshop
also serves as a forum to present the latest research ideas and
results related to OpenMP. IWOMP 2008 will be a three-day event. The
first day will consist of tutorials focusing on topics of interest to
current and prospective OpenMP developers, suitable for both beginners
as well as those interested in learning of recent developments in the
evolving OpenMP standard.  The second and third days will consist of
technical papers and panel session(s) during which research ideas and
results will be presented and discussed.

Technical Paper Submission and Publication
------------------------------------------
We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing
innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP. All
topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP
applications in any domain (e.g., scientific computation, video games,
computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization,
text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing and
numerical solvers), OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP
performance and correctness tools and proposed OpenMP extensions.

Advances in technologies, such as multi-core processors and
accelerators (e.g., GPGPU, FPGA), the use of OpenMP in very
large-scale parallel systems, and recent developments in OpenMP itself
(e.g., tasking) present new opportunities and challenges for software
and hardware developers. IWOMP 2008 solicits submissions that
highlight OpenMP work on these fronts.

IWOMP 2008 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in
Springer Verlag's LNCS series.  Submitted papers for review should be
limited to 10 pages. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to
prepare a final paper of up to 12 pages.  Relevant deadlines are
provided under "Important Dates" in this CFP.

Authors of the best accepted papers will be given the opportunity to
submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue of
International Journal of Parallel Programming after the workshop.
