Parallel and Distributed Computing: Theory and Practice: Theory and Practice. First Canada-France Conference, Montreal, Canada, May 19 - 21, 1994. Proceedings / Edition 1

by Michel Cosnard, Afonso Ferreira, Joseph Peters

Overview

This volume presents the proceedings of the First Canada-France Conference on Parallel Computing; despite its name, this conference was open to full international contribution and participation, as shown by the list of contributing authors.

This volume consists of in total 22 full papers, either invited or accepted and revised after a thorough reviewing process. All together the papers provide a highly competent perspective on research in parallel algorithms and complexity, interconnection networks and distributed computing, algorithms for unstructured problems, and structured communications from the point of view of parallel and distributed computing.
