HLPP 2022

Preface

This volume contains the proceedings of the 15th edition of HLPP, the International Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications, which took place in the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal, during July 7--8, 2022.

Since 2001, the HLPP series of workshops/symposia has been a forum for researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts, tools and applications for high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software quality, programming productivity and high-level performance models. Contributions to HLPP are sought in all topics in high-level parallel programming, its tools and applications, including:

  • High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc) and tools
  • Declarative parallel programming methodologies
  • Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods
  • Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries: semantics and implementation
  • Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs
  • Software synthesis, automatic code generation for parallel programming
  • Model-driven software engineering with parallel programs
  • High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms
  • High-level parallel methods for large structured and semi-structured datasets
  • Applications of parallel systems using high-level languages and tools
  • Formal models of timing and real-time verification for parallel systems

This year, we received 17 paper submissions. Each paper was reviewed by at least three referees who provided detailed written evaluations. At the end, 10 papers were selected for publication in this volume and presentation at the symposium. The set of selected papers present a variety of contributions and were divided into three sessions for presentation at the symposium. After the symposium, the authors of the selected papers will have the opportunity to revise their papers, taking into account the comments and remarks of the referees, and submit them to the HLPP 2022 Special Issue to be published by Springer in the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP).

We would like to thank our generous sponsors -- the Department of Computer Science at Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto (FCUP); the CRACS & INESCTEC research unit; and Huawei -- and the EasyChair conference management system for making the life of the Program Chairs easier. We would also like to thank the staff of FCUP (Alexandra Ferreira, Daniel Pereira, Isabel Gonçalves and Paulo Ramos) for making the online event possible.

We want also to express our gratitude to the Steering Committee members, for giving us the opportunity to organize the event, and to the Program Committee members and external reviewers, as the symposium would not have been possible without their knowledge, dedicated time and enthusiastic work. Finally, thanks should go also to the authors of all submitted papers for their contribution and interest in the symposium and to the participants for making the event a meeting point for a fruitful exchange of ideas and feedback on recent developments. Thank you all for your contribution to HLPP 2022.
