This time (being the fifth in its series) special emphasis will be put on parallel architectures. Besides the discussion of current problems in the field of parallel and distributed algorithms, our main goal is to deal with questions that arise during the design, analysis, calibration, and evaluation of parallel computer architectures and systems.
Recent developments in the technology of communication hardware and communication protocols but also new results in the area of parallel and distributed operating systems have led to a number of interesting and important questions in the last few years, even though (or just because) a certain concentration and reorientation has happened in commercial applications in the meantime.
We understand this workshop to be an interface between fundamental theoretical problems and application oriented questions.
