The Austrian Center for Parallel Computation (ACPC) is a
cooperative research organization founded in 1989 to promote
research and education in the field of software for parallel
computer systems. The areas in which the ACPC is active
include algorithms, languages, compilers, programming
environments, and applications for parallel and
high-performance computing systems.
This volume contains the proceedings of the First
International Conference of the SCPC, held in Salzburg,
Austria, September 30 - October 2, 1991. Authors from 15
countries submitted 66 papers, from which 28 were selected
and presented at the conference. They appear in this volume
together with 8 invited papers by distinguished researchers.
Based on the quality of the papers presented and the
response of the participants, the ACPC has decided to
organize a conference every other year. The second ACPC
conference will take place in Vienna in June 1993.
