Programme sessions will be initiated by 1-hour invited (plenary) lectures, to highlight major accomplishments, trends and technical challenges of High Performance Computing in selected fields of research. Technical papers will be presented (15+5 minutes duration) in two parallel sessions. A poster session will also be held and the day before the conference will be dedicated to tutorials.

    In summary, a full programme is being provided, with the major goal of making VECPAR'2002 a fruitful scientific meeting to both junior and senior researchers.
