Since 1983, the Parallel Computing (ParCo) conferences have promoted the application of parallel computers to real life problems; more than half of the papers and posters were application-oriented in ParCo97 held in September 1997 in Bonn, where an industrial exhibition reinforced the practical emphasis. The invited and contributed papers cover all the bases: applications (. scanning genomic data bases, solving large-scale network transportation problems, and fractal compression of satellite images); automatic parallelization and data distribution; debugging; industrial perspectives; languages, networks and communication; operating systems and threads; parallel algorithms; parallel programming and visualization tools; performance; and scheduling and load balancing.
