[Bridging Theory and Practice in Parallel and Distributed Computing]

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the
exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques and research in
the field of parallel and distributed algorithms and applications. The
workshop is meant to bridge research of theory and practice in all
aspects of parallel and distributed computing. We are convinced that
the workshop atmosphere will be conducive to open and mutually
beneficial exchanges of ideas between the participants of these areas.
