Ladies and Gentlemen,
We wish to draw your attention to the international conference
ParCo97, perhaps the most important conference on Parallel Computing
offered this year. This conference is the longest running conference on
parallel computing in Europe.
A particularly important aspect of this year's event is the emphasis
on the applications of parallel computers. A number of industrial
companies are supporting the event through their participation in
the industrial exhibition as well as an industrial session where new
developments will be presented.
Please check the ParCo97 homepage:
http://www.gmd.de/SCAI/parco97.
for details about the "Preliminary Program" and registration.
The proceedings of the conference will include refereed and accepted
papers and posters. Reviewing of papers and posters will take place at
the conference. These will be published in the bookseries "Advances in
Parallel Computing" by Elsevier Science Publishers. In addition two
Special Issues of "Parallel Computing Journal" will be published,
covering fundamental and application aspects respectively.
TUTORIALS:
In addition to the previously announced program we offer two highly
interesting Tutorial Talks :
1. Trends in Scientific Computation
2. Trends in Parallel Programming
These will be offered on Monday, 15 September 1997, from 14h00 -
17h00. The venue is the Science Conference Centre, Ahrstr. 45,
Bonn-Bad Godesberg, Germany.
A minimum of 20 enrolments are needed for the tutorials to be held.
Participants will be informed accordingly and registration fees for the
tutorials will be refunded in the case of cancellation. The fee for each
session will be:
Until 15.8.97 DM 100,-
After 15.8.97 DM 150,-
Please use the registration form at the ParCo97 homepage.
EARLY REGISTRATION EXTENDED FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS:
Due to several requests the closing date for early registration has been
extended to 15.8.1997. This applies only to electronic registration made
via WWW or e-mail. Note that this update has not yet been recorded on
the WWW homepage forms.
Please note that the registration fee will be some DEM.300,= higher
after

The registration desk will be open for on site registrations at the
Conference
Centre on Monday, 15 September 1997, from 16h00 - 18h00. Cocktails
will be served on the Monday afternoon from 17h00 - 18h00.
The registration desk will again open on Tuesday, 16 September 1997,

EARLY RESERVATION OF HOTELS:
During the time that ParCo97 is held, there are several festivals around
Bonn/Cologne. Therefore we recommand early reservation of hotels. Note
