The conference site, Kultur und Kongresszentrum Liederhalle (KKL), is nicely located in downtown Stuttgart within walking distance of many attractive places. Our theme, “Calculating Engines,” spans the days of Wilhelm Schickard who in 1623 designed in nearby Tübingen the first mechanical calculating engine (on display at the conference) through the famous Cray-2 at RUS, first outside the US, to today’s High-Performance Computing Center, jointly operated by RUS and Daimler-Benz InterServices (debis) AG, the services company of the Daimler-Benz Group.
