The 18th Heterogeneity in Computing Workshop (HCW 2009)

The pervasive use of networks and the Internet has led the number of connected computing resources to grow tremendously, thus creating opportunity and need for heterogeneous computing systems. Furthermore, heterogeneity also is present in emerging computer architectures. In this context, issues of interest to HCW include but are not limited to: parallel and distributed computing programming paradigms and tools, resource discovery and management, task and communication scheduling, task coordination and workflow, performance evaluation and management, heterogeneous cluster computing, heterogeneous computer architectures, grid computing, peer-to-peer computing, ubiquitous computing, fault tolerance, application case studies, and control and use of heterogeneous multi-cores.
