Applications in Parallel and Distributed Computing: Proceedings of the IFIP WG10.3 Working Conference, Caracas, Venezuela, 18-22 April 1994

Applications in parallel and distributed computing are gaining increasing impact because they are the key to the co-operation, and even integration, of large organizations and services. The ever-growing demand of computations, the mass of related distributed information and reliability requirements have overtaken single machines, forcing the use of interconnected ones. This publication considers the many challenges and open problems raised by developments and discusses the new ideas, concepts and methods supported by new technologies.
