Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the
promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing.
Euro-Par focuses on all aspects of hardware, software, algorithms and

the promotion of parallel and distributed computing both as an industrial
technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state
of the art and the state of the practice.

The following topics will be covered by regular Euro-Par 2011 sessions:

1. Support Tools and Environments
2. Performance Prediction and Evaluation
3. Scheduling and load balancing
4. High-Performance Architecture and Compilers
5. Parallel and Distributed Data Management
6. Grid Cluster and Cloud Computing
7. Peer to peer computing
8. Distributed System and Algorithms
9. Parallel and Distributed Programming
10. Parallel Numerical algorithm
11. Multicore and Manycore programming
12. Theory and Algorithms for Parallel Computation
13. High performance network and Communications
14. Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing
15. High Performance and Scientific Applications
16. GPU and Accelerators computing

Full details on the topics, including topic descriptions and chairs, are
available on the Euro-Par 2011 website (europar2011.bordeaux.inria.fr). The
conference will feature tutorials and invited talks. Co-located workshops are
also planned.

**** VENUE **** 

Euro-Par 2011 is organized by National Institute for Research in Computer
Science and Control (INRIA), the University of Bordeaux I and the French
National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).

The Euro-Par 2011 conference will be held on the campus of Bordeaux II
University, Place de la Victoire, in the center of Bordeaux.

Bordeaux is the largest city of the Aquitaine Region in South-West of France. It
is known worldwide for its wineyards, chateaux, gastonomy and historical places.

Traveling to Bordeaux is very easy. Bordeaux hosts an international airport with
connections to major cities in Europe (such as Rome, Amsterdam, London, Madrid,
Dublin or Stockholm) as well as Paris and other cities in France.  It is also
directly connected to Paris by the high-speed TGV train.
