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 in this field. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum for the promotion 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.
The following topics will be covered by regular Euro-Par 2008 sessions:
- Support tools and environments
- Performance prediction and evaluation
- Scheduling and load balancing
- High performance architectures and compilers
- Parallel and distributed databases
- Grid and cluster computing
- Peer to peer computing
- Distributed systems and algorithms
- Parallel and distributed programming
- Parallel numerical algorithms
- Distributed and high performance multimedia
- Theory and algorithms for parallel computation
- High performance networks
- Mobile and ubiquitous computing
Full details on the topics, including topic description and chairs, are available on the Euro-Par 2008 website (http://europar2008.caos.uab.es). The conference will feature tutorials and invited talks. Co-located workshops are also planned.

Venue
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a Spanish city, the capital city of Gran Canaria which is one of the Canary Islands. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is today a cosmopolitan city. It has a big sea-port ("Puerto de la Luz" harbor), and five main beaches, among them, "Las Canteras" beach has no counterpart in the world.
The population of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was 377,056 as of 2006, making it the largest city in the Canary Islands and the eighth most populous city in Spain.
Gran Canaria, a Biospheric Reserve, is a real continent in miniature, which will enthrall you with its long golden beaches and endless dunes of white sand, its green ravines, picturesque villages and valuable historical quarters that will take you back to former times.
According to a study carried out by Thomas Whitmore, director of research on climatology at the Syracuse University (USA), the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria enjoys the best climate in the world.
The nearest airport is the Gran Canaria International Airport ( Las Palmas - Gando International Airport) located 18 km from the capital.
The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) was founded in 1989. Despite its youth, in a few years the ULPGC has managed to position itself as a well worth Spanish university, emphasizing the use of the Information and Telecommunications technologies, the programs of international mobility and at its close involvement with the local society.
