Parallel and distributed processing, although within the focus of computer science research for a long time, is gaining more and more importance in a wide spectrum of applications. These proceedings aim to demonstrate the use of parallel and distributed processing concepts in different application fields, and attempt to spark interest in novel research directions to parallel and high-performance computing research in general. The objective of these workshops is to specifically address researchers coming from university, industry and governmental research organizations and application-oriented companies in order to close the gap between purely scientific research and the applicab- ity of the research ideas to real-life problems. Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the pro- tion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. The 2008 event was the 14th issue of the conference. Euro-Par has for a long time been eager to attract colocated events sharing the same goal of promoting the dev- opment of parallel and distributed computing, both as an industrial technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. Since 2006, Euro-Par has been offering researchers the chance to co- cate advanced technical workshops back-to-back with the main conference.

From the reviews:

“The authors observe that current-generation firewall products are able to simulate a continuing connection for UDP requests … from inside a firewall. … The concept of network address translation (NAT) traversal through UDP hole punching is illustrated with a simple example showing how two clients--each behind its own firewall--can set up a UDP connection by using a relay server. … Those who use it and its associated Globus.org service will find the content of this paper invaluable.” (G. K. Jenkins, ACM Computing Reviews, August, 2010)
