2009
Christian Bischof is speaker of the Working Group "Parallelism" within the Forum Informatik
and organizes – jointly with Th. Lippert (Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH), U. Lang
(University of Cologne) and U. Trottenberg (Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and
Scientific Computing) – the Kolloqium über Parallelverarbeitung in technisch-naturwissen–
schaftlichen Anwendungen, a series of symposia concerned with parallel processing in
engineering and scientific applications. This series, initiated in 1993 under participation of K.
Indermark and F. Hoßfeld, has since then established itself as a forum for discussion and
information exchange among the Northrhine-Westphalian institutions concerned with parallel
processing.
The following workshops were co-organized by our institute:
• 10th European Workshop on Automatic Differentiation, Paderborn, Germany, June 3-4,
