                          Euro-Par'99

                        Toulouse, France
                   August 31 - September 3, 1999
                      First Call for Papers


Euro-Par is the premier  European conference on parallel computing and
normally attracts   about   300   participants.  It   is    an  annual
international  conference, dedicated to  the promotion and advancement
of all  aspects   of parallel  computing.   The major  themes  of  the
conference can be divided into    the broad categories of    hardware,
software, algorithms, and  applications.  The objective of Euro-Par is
to provide a  forum to promote the  development of  parallel computing
both as an  industrial tool and  as an academic discipline,  extending
the  frontiers of the  state of practice as  well as  the state of the
art.  This is particularly important at a time when parallel computing
is  undergoing  strong and sustained development   and is beginning to
experience real  industrial take up.  The  main audience  for Euro-Par
are researchers in   university departments, government  laboratories,
and industrial organisations.
 
Euro-Par'99 is  organized as a day  of tutorials, two half-day plenary
sessions, and a number of parallel sessions on the following topics:

 1. Support Tools and Environments   13. Numerical Algorithms for 
                                         Linear and Nonlinear Algebra 

 2. Performance Evaluation and       14. European Projects 
    Prediction 

 3. Scheduling and Load Balancing    15. Routing and Communication in
                                         Interconnection Networks 

 4. Compilers for High Performance   16. Instruction-Level Parallelism
    Systems                              and Uniprocessor Architecture 

 5. Parallel and Distributed         17. Concurrent and Distributed 
    Databases                            Programming with Objects
