The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum for the introduction, presentation and discussion of the latest scientific and technical advances, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. A full list of topics covered by regular Euro-Par 2013 sessions can be found here: http://www.europar2013.org/conference/topics/ To provide further meeting points for researchers to discuss and exchange ideas on topics related to parallel and distributed computing, Euro-Par 2013 will continue the tradition of co-locating workshops with the main conference and invites proposals for the workshop program. The workshops will be held on August 26-27, two days before the main conference. Workshop proceedings will be published in a separate LNCS Euro-Par 2013 volume after the conference.
