Contrary to cluster and grid processing, their design and required compilation techniques are driven by multiple conflicting design objectives simultaneously such as power consumption, speed, monetary cost, and physical as well as memory size. Here, new specification techniques, special parallelization and mapping techniques are needed in order to embed computations optimally into the parallel architecture. Particularly welcome are also new and emerging architecture concepts ranging from fine-grain to coarse-grain parallel SoC architectures with focus on dynamic programmability or reconfigurability. Finally, case studies of embedded, highly-parallel applications are greatly welcome. Focus - System-on-a-Chip Multi-core/Multithreaded Architecture Design - Low Power Compilation and Architecture Design - Interconnection Structures of Processors and Memory Modules - Reconfigurabilty versus Programmability - Multi-processor based Reconfigurable Architectures - Processors with tightly coupled Reconfigurable Hardware - Modeling and Simulation Techniques for MPSoC - Memory/Performance/Cost Analysis , Estimation - Architecture/Compiler Co-Design - Embedded, Highly-Parallel Applications - Parallelization and Mapping Techniques for MPSoC ----------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY DATES December 31, 2005: Workshop proposals due January 31, 2006: Full papers due May 3, 2006: Notification of acceptance May 30, 2006: Camera-ready papers and author registration due ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION DETAILS Authors are invited to submit full papers (10 pages, Springer LNCS style) to this topic, by using the online submission site: http://www.europar2006.de/index.php?page=1 Online submission will be open before the end of December 2005.

Each year, the conference normally attracts more than 300 participants coming from universities, research centres and industry. Euro-Par 2006 will represent 18 topics (http://www.europar2006.de/index.php?page=3) in the categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications, and will also include tutorials, invited talks, and co-located workshops. Besides, the planed Grid Village provides an opportunity to showcase the latest developments in Grid technology with demonstration and hands on experiences. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
