HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING AND  NETWORKING 2000

It is with much pleasure that we announce the 8th event of the highly successful International Conference on High Performance Computing and Networking Europe. Similar to the previous years, HPCN Europe 2000 will consist of focussed workshops and a scientific Conference, covering the field of HPCN from the (industrial) end-user applications to new scientific results in computational science and computer science. This year however, the scope of the conference is further expanded with an additional theme to emphasize the information management aspects, and the importance of the web-based cooperative application infrastructures. With this call we invite you to submit a paper for the Conference and to participate in this event.

Conference Tracks

1. Web-based Cooperative Applications
• Including distributed/federated information and knowledge management, information brokerage, virtual enterprises, clearing houses, electronic business, cooperation coordination, tele-work, etc.
2. Industrial and end-user Applications of HPCN
• Including the WEB applications, Medical applications, data mining, automotive and aerospace, chemical, climate modeling, distributed manufacturing, virtual reality, etc.
3. Computational Science
• Including new numerical and non-numerical techniques for parallelization, metacomputing, load balancing, problem solving environments, etc.
4. Computer Science research in HPCN
• Including tools runtime support, compiler technology, programming environments, architecture simulations, etc.
