HLPP-2026 EasyChair call for papers: https://easychair.org/cfp/HLPP-2026 

Aims and Scope

As processor and system manufacturers adjust their roadmaps towards increasing levels of both inter and intra-chip parallelism, so the urgency of reorienting the mainstream software industry towards these architectures grows. At present, popular parallel and distributed programming methodologies are dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms. Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism. HLPP symposia provide a forum for discussion and research about such high-level approaches to parallel and distributed programming.

HLPP 2026, on 9-10 July in Paris, encourages submissions on topics related to all aspects of parallel computing, with a focus on high-level programming of multi-/many-cores, heterogeneous compute clusters, and highly parallel or distributed infrastructures.

Papers accepted for presentation and presented on-site at the conference will be proposed for publication in the International Journal of Parallel Programming special issue after their latest version's reviewing. Previous HLPP proceeding publications are shown here: http://hlpp.net/
