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 (http://europar2009.ewi.tudelft.nl). The conference will feature tutorials and invited talks. Co-located workshops are also planned.

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 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 minutes by train), which has direct connections from all major airports worldwide. Delft also has excellent train connections to the rest of Europe.
