Distributed and Parallel Systems: Cluster and Grid Computing

DAPSY (Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems) is an international conference series with biannual events dedicated to all aspects of distributed and parallel computing. DAPSY started under a different name in 1992 (Sopron, Hungary) as regional meeting of Austrian and Hungarian researchers focusing on transputer-related parallel computing; a hot research topic of that time. A second workshop followed in 1994 (Budapest, Hungary). As transputers became history, the scope of the workshop widened to include parallel and distributed systems in general and the 1st DAPSYS in 1996 (Miskolc, Hungary) reflected the results of these changes.

Distributed and Parallel Systems: Cluster and Grid Computing is an edited volume based on DAPSYS, 2004, the 5th Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems. The workshop was held in conjunction with EuroPVM/MPI-2004, Budapest, Hungary September 19-22, 2004.

DAPSY（奧地利-匈牙利分散和並行系統研討會）是一個國際性的會議系列，每兩年舉辦一次，專注於分散和並行計算的各個方面。DAPSY於1992年在匈牙利索普朗以不同的名稱開始（當時是奧地利和匈牙利研究人員的區域會議），專注於與transputer相關的並行計算，這是當時的熱門研究主題。第二個研討會於1994年在匈牙利布達佩斯舉行。隨著transputer成為歷史，研討會的範圍擴大到包括一般的並行和分散系統，而1996年的第一屆DAPSYS（匈牙利米什科爾茨）反映了這些變化的結果。

《分散和並行系統：集群和網格計算》是一本基於2004年DAPSYS（奧地利-匈牙利分散和並行系統研討會）的編輯卷，該研討會與2004年9月19日至22日在匈牙利布達佩斯舉行的EuroPVM/MPI-2004會議同期舉行。
