The use of HPC in bachelor's and master's level degree programs is highly varied. Papers presented in this session will focus on either the high performance systems or the associated applications the authors use and/or have developed for educational settings. To support HPC in academia (course work and modest research projects (not PhD thesis level)), we wish to begin the assembly of a resource base for educational practitioners. The papers from this session, the corresponding slides, and other appropriate materials will be made available at a website associated with the journal Computing in Science and Engineering.

Computational Science applications are more and more complex to develop and require more and more computing power. Parallel and grid computing are solutions to the increasing need for computing power. High level languages offer a high degree of abstraction which eases the development of complex systems. Being based on formal semantics, it is even possible to certify the correctness of critical parts of the applications.

Algorithmic skeletons, parallel extensions of functional languages, such as Haskell and ML, or parallel logic and constraint programming, parallel execution of declarative programs such SQL queries, etc. have produced methods and tools that improve the price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of target applications.

The PAPP workshop focuses on practical aspects of high-level parallel programming: design, implementation and optimization of high-level programming languages and tools (performance predictors working on high-level parallel/grid source code, visualizations of abstract behaviour, automatic hotspot detectors, high-level GRID resource managers, compilers, automatic generators, etc.), applications in all fields of computational science, benchmarks and experiments. Research on high-level grid programming is particularly relevant.

The PAPP workshop is aimed both at researchers involved in the development of high level approaches for parallel and grid computing and computational science researchers who are potential users of these languages and tools.

Research and development in bioinformatics and computational biology require the cooperation of specialists from the fields of biology, computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, and such related sciences. It is the comprehensive application of mathematics (e.g., probability and graph theory), statistics, science (e.g., biochemistry), and computer science (e.g., computer algorithms and machine learning) to the understanding of living systems. Bioinformatics is fast emerging as an important discipline for academic research and industrial application. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners in order to discuss various aspects of bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications.
