Euro-Par 2008 (August 26-29)

The Euro-Par 2008 conference will be taking place in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) - a fantastic city with lovely surroundings - from August 26th until August 29th, 2008. The conference is organized jointly by the Department of Computer Architecture and Operating Systems (University Autonoma of Barcelona) and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering  (University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria).

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 applications for parallel and distributed computing. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum within which to promote the development 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.

We would like to invite you to come to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for the Euro-Par Conference. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a wonderful city in a beautiful island. The combination of the Euro-Par Conference and the beauty of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria makes a special opportunity of a valuable time in a wonderful space.

CoreGRID Symposium (August 25-26)

Grids are revolutionising computing as profoundly as e-mail and the Web revolutionised communications and publishing in the last 15 years. Grids are a crucial enabling technology for Scientific and Industrial development in the decade. Grid, Peer-to-Peer and other types of networked distributed computing and storage technologies, as well as emerging web technologies, have provided new paradigms exploiting distributed resources.

The CoreGRID Network of Excellence (NoE) is funded by the European Commission's 6th Framework Program. It aims at strengthening and advancing scientific and technological excellence in the area of Grid and Peer-to-Peer technologies. The Network is operated as a European Research Laboratory and brings together a critical mass of well-established researchers from 46 institutions.

The CoreGRID Symposium aims at being the premiere European event on Grid Computing for the dissemination of the results from European and member states initiatives as well as other international projects in Grid research and technologies. It is organized jointly with the Euro-Par 2008 conference. The CoreGRID Symposium will focus on all aspects of Grid computing including service infrastructures and as such will bring together participants from Research and Industry.
