It is with much pleasure that we announce the 9th event of the highly successful International Conference on High Performance Computing and Networking Europe. Similar to the previous years, HPCN Europe 2001 will consist of focused workshops, associated events, and a Scientific Conference, covering the complete field of HPCN from:

• Grid based and web based information management and infrastructures
• Industrial applications
• New scientific results in computational and computer science
• High bandwidth networking applications

We invite you to contribute to the Conference by attendence or by submitting a paper.

Conference Tracks

1. Web and Grid based 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, tele-medicine, data mining, automotive, 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.
