Join us in Nice 
on the French Riviera

IPDPS 2003 - to be held in Nice, France - will be hosted by INRIA, CNRS and the University of Nice. INRIA is the French Institute for research & development in information, communication, science and technology, and includes the Sophia-Antipolis INRIA Research Unit, which is located 20 miles from Nice and is neighbor to a major concentration of French high-tech industries and research centers. Similar to the American NSF, the CNRS sponsors research in high performance computing and networking. In this domain, the CNRS connects over 80 research groups in France, including the I3S laboratory, which operates in cooperation with the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis. 

Both INRIA and CNRS are vitally interested in promoting international exchange, making them ideal hosts for the 17th International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium.
