\section{What is ACPC?}  

ACPC (Austrian Center for Parallel Computation) 
combines several institutes and personalities in a for Austria quite new way 
 - as an Austria-wide research and education institution in a very up-to-date
field of computer science, namely the software development for
parallel computers.

Participants in ACPC are at present:


\begin{itemize}
\item[] o.Univ.Prof.Dr. Bruno Buchberger, RISC-Linz
\item[] o.Univ.Prof.Dipl.Ing.Dr. G"unter Haring, University of Vienna
\item[] Dr. Wolfgang Kleinert, Technical University of Vienna
\item[] o.Univ.Prof.Dr. Peter Schuster, University of Vienna
\item[] Doz.Dr. Christoph "Uberhuber, Technical University of Vienna
\item[] o.Univ.Prof.Dr.-Ing. Jens Volkert, University of Linz
\item[] o.Univ.Prof.Dr. Hans Zima, University of Vienna
\item[] o.Univ.Prof.Dr. Peter Zinterhof, University of Salzburg
\end{itemize}

\section{Aims of ACPC}

The intention of ACPC is that of a distributed campus. Thereby a variety 
of resources can be reached, also of internationally important potential in 
teaching and research. Cooperations can be made with corresponding local and
foreign partners in research and industry.

In research work the aim is to have uniform basic hardware equipment
and this is about to be realized. Furthermore the individual locations of ACPC
will get, resp. already have, special hardware equipment according to
their specific research projects.

In the area of teaching a special curriculum will be offered for students
of diploma theses in computer science, mathematics, and related fields.
This curriculum obeys the regulations of the AHStG
(Allgemeines Hochschulstudiengesetz, i.e. the legal basis for studies at 
Austrian Universities)
and the special
University laws with respect to construction and extent. The curriculum
may also be studied as an option. The different locations offer regularly
the necessary basic lectures and practical courses. In addition each
location offers special lectures according to the specific research projects.
Furthermore students of Ph.D. theses may study a curriculum in the field
of software for parallel systems of international quality. An important
feature of the education is the regular presence of local and foreign leading
personalities from research and industry as guest professors. The curriculum
offers attractive possibilities also for foreign students.
