 Main Topics of the Meeting are:
                                                
  - algorithms using PVM and MPI;
  - applications in science and engineering based on the message-passing 
    paradigm;
  - latest extensions and improvements to PVM and MPI;
  - performance and evaluation of PVM and MPI;
  - tools for PVM and MPI;
  - interfaces for PVM and MPI;
  - HPF/MPI extensions;
  - implementation issues.
 
 The main participants and audience (based on the experience of previous 
 meetings) for EuroPVM/MPI are researchers from academic and government 
 research institutions and industry. The meetings usually attract 150-200 
 participants.
