18th International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2009) Munich, Germany www.lrz.de/hpdc2009 Workshops: June 9-10, 2009 Symposium: June 11-13, 2009 Call for Participation About HPDC The Eighteenth International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2009) will be held from 11th June to 13th June 2009 in Garching near Munich, Germany. Workshops co-located with HPDC will be held from 9th June to 10th June. HPDC 2009 is the premier forum for presenting the latest research findings on the design and use of parallel and distributed systems for high end computing, collaboration, data analysis, and other innovative applications. HPDC 2009 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serves as the primary forum for exchange among the research, standards, vendor, and user communities in the field of high performance and distributed computing. HPDC 2009 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, and workshops. In addition, it will feature a demo/exhibit track to share practical lessons learned by user and vendor communities upon prototyping innovative HPDC concepts, mechanisms and applications. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the HPDC 2009 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions underwent a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes many of the most respected experts in the ?eld. We received papers that break new grounds or present insightful results based on experience with high performance and distributed computing. Seven workshops on specialized topics will be co-located with the main conference. Keynotes 1.

With the opera and Oktoberfest, Pinakothek art galleries and Hofbräuhaus beer hall, Bayern, Munich and BMW, the city manages to marry vibrant modern life with old Bavarian tradition. It really is a dream city come true. With its famous onion domes, the 15th century Gothic Church of Our Lady is Munich’s unmistakable land mark. Not far away, at Marienplatz, the carillon plays three times a day. And just a stone’s throw away is likely the most famous tavern in the world, the Hofbräuhaus beer hall. Other sightseeing highlights include the Olympic center where the Olympic Games took place in 1972. Regarding museums, the Pinakothek der Moderne presents modern and contemporary painting and sculpture, jewelry, graphic art and the collection of the architectural museum under one roof. Together with the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek, the Glyptothek museum of Greek and Roman sculptures, the antiquities collection and Lenbach House, it forms a unique arts collection. The German Museum with its branches Verkehrszentrum (transport center) and Flugwerft (aircraft works) is a pioneering museum for technology and mobility.
