  • Cognitive systems: Applications in: pattern recognition, image processing
  
  
  
• Base HPCN Technologies
  
  
  • Networking technologies: ATM, FDDI, fibre channel, Hippi, etc., switching and routing techniques and systems
  • Data Management Technologies: Archiving, Data migration, storage components and systems
  
  
  
• system integration
  
  Showing open system solution for combining the possibilities provided by workstations, workstation clusters, SMP servers MPP and supercomputers to solve the computational requirements set by applications in engineering, dataprocessing and science. Showing migration possibilities for current batch oriented dataprocessing providers for integrating the more interactive possibilities provided by workstation and workstation server based systems. Showing new possibilities of integrating these open components with new visual interfaces and network technologies such as provided by WWW for instance by showing the possibilities of multi site work based on High Performance tools.
  
  Vendors interested in exhibiting System Integration are welcomed to propose sponsorship contributions for the implementation of the TDD in addition to their participation at the exhibition of HPCN Europe '97.
  
  
• high-speed networking
  
  Networking technology will be made highly visable within the Event HPCN Europe through the Technology Demonstrators Display (TDD). Research centers and Universities will demonstrate real time and on line State of the Art development of their institutions' expertise. For these demonstrations High Speed Networking technology will be ideally embedded and shown in practice to facilitate these real time application demonstrations. High Speed & Broadband Networking Vendors will have excellent opportunities to display their product range.
  
  Vendors interested in exhibiting Network technology are welcomed to propose sponsorship contributions for the implementation of the TDD in addition to their participation at the exhibition of HPCN Europe '97.
  
  
• applications and networking
  
  Showing how modern network based computing like WWW allows applications to run in a distributed environment. Showing the migration from monolithic to more clusterbased computing. Illustrating the possibilities of meta computer environment for instance based on PVM to be used for future heterogeneous network computing.
  
  Vendors interested in exhibiting Applications and Networking are welcomed to propose sponsorship contributions for the implementation of the TDD in addition to their participation at the exhibition of HPCN Europe '97.
  
  
• database management (datamining and datawarehousing)
  
  Showing in depth and with use of Data mining & Data warehousing technology real applications of Database Management will be used actively by the organisation of HPCN Europe '97.
  
  Vendors interested in exhibiting Database Management technology are welcomed to propose sponsorship contributions for the implementation of Data mining & Data warehousing technology in addition to their participation at the exhibition of HPCN Europe '97.
  
  
• world wide web applications
  
  The use and the potential of Internet (WWW) and other network standards within Research Institutions and Universities is a widely spread and succesfully implemented for over many years. Nowadays, however, Industry is gaining more and more awareness of the economical benefits of the Web also for research development purposes. Therefore, Web applications and technology is logically made a theme within the total event HPCN Europe. The importance of communication and the networks thereto are heavely to be focused upon. Together with the TDD-demonstrations the use of the Web decicated to research will bring additional opportunities to the participating vendors at the showfloor.
  
  Vendors interested in exhibiting Internet / WWW technology are welcomed to propose sponsorship contributions for the implementation of Internet/WWW/e-mail facilities in addition to their participation at the exhibition of HPCN Europe '97
