The Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics (former Computing Center) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Academgorodok, Novosibirsk), the Program Systems Intitute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Pereslavl-Zalessky) and the Aylamazyan University of Pereslavl are jointly organizing the Ninth International Conference on Parallel Computing Technologies (PaCT-2007).

The conference will be held in Pereslavl-Zalessky, September 3-7, 2007. Eight previous conferences have been held in Novosibirsk (1991), Obninsk (1993), St.-Petersburg (1995), Yaroslavl (1997), St.-Petersburg (1999), Novosibirsk (2001), Nizhni Novgorod (2003) and Krasnoyarsk (2005).

The aim of PaCT-2007 is to give an overview of new developments, applications, and trends in parallel computing technologies. We sincerely hope this conference will help to deepen our understanding of parallel computing technologies by providing a forum for an exchange of views between scientists and specialists from over the world.

The official language of the Conference is English.
