TelePar'97
Parallelism & Telecommunication
SIPAR - SPEEDUP Workshop
EPFL, Lausanne, the 18th and 19th of September 1997
The field of telecommunications is expanding rapidly, particularly because of the increasing success of mobile systems, satellite telecommunications, urban networks, etc. The field of telecommunications needs High Performance Computing in order to solve the numerous problems encountered when deploying, maintaining or running a telecommunication network.
The TelePar workshop is an opportunity for computer scientists working in the area of parallelism and for experts in telecommunication to meet each other.
We invite all persons from academic or industrial world working in the area of supercomputing or telecommunication to participate to this workshop.
TelePar'97 is the first workshop on High Performance Computing and Telecommunication. The next TelePar workshop (TelePar'98) will held in USA.
