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 covers a wide spectrum of topics from algorithms and theory to software technology and hardware-related issues, with application areas ranging from scientific to mobile and cloud computing. Euro-Par provides a forum for the introduction, presentation and discussion of the latest scientific and technical advances, 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 2013 sessions:
1. Support Tools and Environments
2. Performance Prediction and Evaluation
3. Scheduling and Load Balancing
4. High-Performance Architectures and Compilers
5. Parallel and Distributed Data Management
6. Grid, Cluster and Cloud Computing
7. Peer-to-Peer Computing
8. Distributed Systems and Algorithms
9. Parallel and Distributed Programming
10. Parallel Numerical Algorithms
11. Multicore and Manycore Programming
12. Theory and Algorithms for Parallel Computation
13. High-Performance Networks and Communication
14. High-Performance and Scientific Applications
15. GPU and Accelerator Computing
16. Extreme-Scale Computing

Full details on the topics, including topic descriptions and chairs, are available on the Euro-Par 2013 Web site (www.europar2013.org). The conference will feature contributed and invited talks. Co-located workshops are also planned.

Paper Submission Guidelines

Full papers should not exceed 12 pages in the Springer LNCS style. Paper submission has to be performed electronically via the conference Web site in PDF format. Papers accepted for publication must also be supplied in source form (LaTeX or Word).

The 12 pages limit is a hard limit. It includes everything (text, figures, references) and will be strictly enforced by the submission system.

Papers must offer original contributions regarding the theory and practice of parallel and distributed computing. Full submission guidelines are available on the conference website. Only contributions not submitted elsewhere for publication will be considered.

Authors must submit their papers to the specific topic they judge most appropriate. Details on the topics, including descriptions and chairs, are available on the conference Web site.

All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the LNCS series. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a Springer copyright form.

Location

The Euro-Par 2013 conference will take place in Aachen, Germany, from August 26th until August 30th, 2013. The conference is jointly organized by the German Research School for Simulation Sciences, Forschungszentrum Jülich, and RWTH Aachen University in the framework of the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance.
