Distributed and Parallel Systems: From Instruction
Parallelism to Cluster Computing is the proceedings of the third Austrian-Hungarian
Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems organized jointly by the Austrian
Computer Society and the MTA SZTAKI Computer and Automation Research Institute.
This book contains 18 full papers and 12 short papers from 14 countries
around the world, including Japan, Korea and Brazil. The paper sessions
cover a broad range of research topics in the area of parallel and distributed
systems, including software development environments, performance evaluation,
architectures, languages, algorithms, web and cluster computing.
This volume will be useful to researchers and scholars
interested in all areas related to parallel and distributed computing systems.
