  3RD EUROMICRO WORKSHOP ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING

    Hotel Des Etrangers, Sanremo, Italy January 25-27th 1995



*********************  ABOUT THE WORKSHOP  **********************

Parallel   and  Distributed  Processing  is  crucial   for   high 
performance   computing.   This   area   has   experienced   many 
developments in the last decade. Nowadays a variety of  different 
architectures,  programming languages, operating  systems,  tools 
and applications are commercially available. However, this is not 
a  consolidated  area. Parallel and Distributed Processing  is  a 
very  active  research  area with  many  new  ideas  continuously 
emerging. This third Euromicro Workshop aims at providing a forum 
to  exchange  ideas, discuss key issues and  present  the  latest 
research results in Parallel and Distributed Processing.

The  Workshop will include keynote sessions with invited  eminent 
speakers;  sessions  for  open  forum  presentations;  group  and 
plenary discussion sessions; and full paper presentation sessions 
covering a wide range of topics: parallel computer  architecture, 
parallel software engineering, performance evaluation.

trains  connect  Sanremo  with  Genova  Porta  Principe  railways 
station  (about  one train per hour) and Nice  (8-10  trains  per 
day), as well as with Milano and Torino, the largest airports  in 
northern Italy. The cost of a one-way trip from Genova to Sanremo 
is  10,800  ITL.  All the other hotels  proposed  as  alternative 
accommodations are located at walking distance from the Hotel Des 
Etrangers.

CLIMATE
Sanremo  is  a well-known seaside resort in  the  north-  western 
Italian  Riviera. The climate in Sanremo is always mild, with  an 
average temperature of 10 C during winter.

CURRENCY
The unit of currency in Italy is the Italian Lira (ITL.). At  the 
end of September, the exchange rate was: 1 US$ = 1570 ITL.

REGISTRATION
