Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to
the
promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed
computing.
Euro-Par focuses on all aspects of hardware, software, algorithms and
applications in this field. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a
forum for
the promotion of parallel and distributed computing both as an
industrial
technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both
the state
of the art and the state of the practice.
The following topics will be covered by regular Euro-Par 2009 sessions:
1. Support tools and environments
2. Performance prediction and evaluation
3. Scheduling and load balancing
4. High performance architectures and compilers
5. Parallel and distributed databases
6. Grid, cluster, and cloud computing
7. Peer to peer computing
8. Distributed systems and algorithms
9. Parallel and distributed programming
10. Parallel numerical algorithms
11. Multicore and manycore programming
12. Theory and algorithms for parallel computation
13. High performance networks
14. Mobile and ubiquitous computing
Full details on the topics, including topic descriptions and chairs, are
available on the Euro-Par 2009 website (europar2009.ewi.tudelft.nl). The
conference will feature tutorials and invited talks. Co-located
workshops
are also planned.

half a day and a full day, are encouraged and solicited until April 1,
2009.
Workshop proceedings are published in a separate LNCS Euro-Par 2009
workshop
volume after the conference. The principal coordinator of each
workshop will
appear as editor of the workshop volume.
Please contact the Conference Chairs (europar2009@tudelft.nl) for

details and proposals.
VENUE
The Euro-Par 2009 conference will be held on the campus of Delft
University
of Technology, which was founded in 1842 by King William II and which
is the
oldest and largest technical university in the Netherlands. It is well
established as one of the leading technical universities in the world.
Delft is a small, historical town dating back to the 13th century.
Delft has
many old buildings and small canals, and it has a lively atmosphere.
The city
offers a large variety of hotels and restaurants. Many other places of
interest
(e.g., Amsterdam and The Hague) are within one hour distance of
traveling.
Traveling to Delft is easy. Delft is close to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
(60 km, 45 min by train), which has direct connections from all major
airports
in the world. Delft also has excellent train connections to the rest of
Europe.
