Conference description
----------------------
The  European  PVM/MPI  Users' Group conference is a forum for the
users  and  developers  of  PVM  (Parallel  Virtual  Machine), MPI
(Message Passing Interface), and other message-passing programming
environments.  The   EuroPVM/MPI  2003  conference  will deal with
various  aspects  of  High-Performance  Computing  (HPC) and their
application.  The  scope  of  the  conference has been extended to
specifically include Cluster and Grid Computing.

This  is the 10th EuroPVM/MPI meeting of the series, previous ones
being held at:
  Linz - Austria (2002), Santorin - Greece (2001), Balatonfuered -
  Hungary (2000),  Barcelona - Spain (1999), Liverpool - UK (1998),
  Krakow - Poland (1997),    Munich - Germany (1996),       Lyon -
  France (1995),   Rome - Italy (1994)-

The  EuroPVM/MPI  2003 will be held in Venice (Italy), and will be
jointly organized by the Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Italy),
and    the   Information  Science  and  Technologies  Institute  -
National   Research  Council  (ISTI - CNR)  of  Pisa  (Italy). The
proceedings  will  be  published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.


Topics
------
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
  - Parallel algorithms using the message-passing paradigm
  - Parallel applications in science and engineering
  - Parallel data mining applications
  - Latest extensions and improvements to PVM and MPI
  - PVM/MPI in Clusters and Grids
  - Tools for PVM and MPI
  - Performance evaluation of PVM and MPI
  - PVM and MPI implementation issues
  - Novel message-passing paradigms for Grids and P2P


Venue
-----
The  10th  Euro  PVM/MPI  2003  will  be held at the island of San
Servolo,  which  is  located in the Venetian lagoon, very close to
the Venice city center.
The  island of San Servolo is easily reachable via boat in 10 mins
from  Piazza  San  Marco  (Riva  degli  Schiavoni, in front of the
Londra Palace Hotel, stop "San Zaccaria").
San   Servolo   hosts  the  Venice  International  University,  an
International Consortium of several Universities world-wide.
