Dear Sirs,
I would be very grateful if you could post the following anouncement on
your list.
	Yours sincerely,
		Prof.Jacek Blazewicz


A new HANDBOOK on Parallel and Distributed Processing just appeared.
    
HANDBOOK ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING,
J. Blazewicz, K. Ecker, B. Plateau, and D. Trystram (eds.),
Springer Verlag, Berlin, New York, 2000.

In this volume authors of academia and practice provide scientists,
practitioners and graduate students with a good overview of basic methods
and paradigms, as well as important issues and trends across the broad
spectrum of parallel and distributed processing. In particular, the book
covers fundamental topics such as efficient parallel algorithms, languages
for parallel processing, parallel operating systems, architecture of
parallel and distributed systems, management of resources, tools for
parallel computing, parallel database systems, multimedia object servers
and networking aspects of distributed and parallel computing. Three
chapters are dedicated to applications in scientific computing, among
others in molecular sciences. 
Summing up, the Handbook is a good source of information for academics and
professionals who are interested in learning the leading experts' view of
the topic.
