HiPC 2002 will be held in Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India, during December 18-21, 2002. It will serve as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight activities in Asia in the high performance computing area. The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world. The seventh meeting held in Bangalore, India, in 2000 had 46 contributed papers that were selected from 127 submissions from 12 countries, and additional special sessions. Approximately 350 participants attended the meeting. The conference had tutorials on cutting edge topics in high performance computing and related areas by leading researchers from academia and industry. The 8th HiPC Conference (HiPC 2001) held in Hyderabad, India, in December 2001, had 29 contributed papers that were selected from 108 submissions from 18 countries and approximately 220 participants attended the meeting. Please refer to the website http://www.hipc.org for more information on previous meetings. Bangalore, a bustling metropolis, is the fifth largest city in India and the capital of the state of Karnataka. It is the main center of the Information Technology industry in India; almost every Indian and multi- national IT company has a presence here. Bangalore is home to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), a premier research institute, and many other aerospace and high technology industries including the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. Karnataka is home of many ancient Indian architectural marvels, wildlife sanctuaries, rain forests (the Western Ghats), pristine beaches, and rich and hoary cultural traditions. HiPC 2002 will emphasize the design and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the conference will offer invited presentations, a poster/presentation session, tutorials, and vendor presentations. HPC Asia 2002 will also be held in Bangalore during December 16-19, 2002, and will be co-located with HiPC 2002. This will offer additional opportunities for participants from one meeting to attend the other at a nominal cost. HPC Asia 2002 will be organized by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) and the Advanced Computing and Communications Society (ACS). The exhibits will be open to HiPC 2002 participants at no extra cost. HPC Asia 2002 details can be retrieved on the web at http://www.cdacindia.com/hpcasia2002.
