The program is available from http://www.pmaa10.unibas.ch/.
Selected peer-reviewed papers will be published in a special issue of
Parallel
Computing. Deadline for the submission of full papers is 31 July 2010.
Paper
submission is not restricted to workshop participants. Contributions from
other researchers that fit the scope of this special issue are also
welcomed.
