Euro-Par 2000 took take place in Munich (Germany) from August 29th until
September 1st, 2000.
The conference location was the campus of the Technical University of
Munich (TUM), local organization was provided by the Institute of Informatics.
The international Euro-Par conferences are held annually and are dedicated to the
promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel computing.
The major themes can be divided into the broad categories of hardware,
software, algorithms and applications for parallel computing.
The proceedings of Euro-Par 2000 have been published as
LNCS 1900 by Springer Verlag.
Previous Euro-Par conferences within the Euro-Par series were held 1995 in Stockholm (Sweden), 1996 in Lyon (France), 1997 in Passau (Germany), 1998 in Southampton (UK), and 1999 in Toulouse (France).
The format of Euro-Par 2000 followed that of the past five conferences and consisted of a number of topics each individually monitored by a committee of four chairs. There were originally 21 topics for this year's conference. The call for papers attracted 326 submissions of which 167 were accepted. Of the papers accepted, 5 were judged as distinguished, 94 as regular and 68 as research notes. There were on average 3.8 reviews per paper. Submissions were received from 42 countries, 31 of which are represented at the conference. The principal contributors by country were the United States of America with 29, Germany with 22, U.K. and Spain with 18 papers each and France with 11 papers. Euro-Par 2000 featured new topics such as Cluster Computing, Metacomputing, Parallel I/O and Storage Technology and Problem Solving Environments. Organizing an international event like Euro-Par 2000 was a difficult task for the conference chairs and the organizing committee. Therefore, we are especially grateful to Ron Perrott, Christian Lengauer, David Pritchard, Ian Duff, Michel Daydé and Daniel Ruiz who have given us the benefit of their experience and have helped us generously over the past 18 months. The programme committee consisted of nearly 90 members that have contributed to organize a very valuable academic programme.
