Title
International Supercomputer Conference ISC2006
Description
The International Supercomputer Conference (ISC) conference was created - and is still led - by Prof. Hans Werner Meuer of the University of Mannheim, where he was director of the computer center for more than 25 years. Currently, Prof. Meuer is a member of the governing boards of several German technology firms and he still is Professor of Computer Science in Mannheim.
Prof. Meuer first became involved with supercomputers and parallel computing more than 20 years ago. In 1986, he co-founded and organized the first Mannheim Super Computer Seminar, which has evolved into the Internatiinal Supercomputer Conference.
"At the time, supercomputing was filled with promise and many exciting new technologies on the horizon," Prof. Meuer said. "What was missing was a forum where experts from around the world could meet, share their ideas, conduct spirited discussions and gain new insights. Every year, more and more people are finding the ISC to be an ideal setting for such exchanges."
