This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing, NPC 2007. It covers network applications: cluster and grid computing, peer-to-peer computing; network technologies: network algorithms, network reliability and dependability; network and parallel architectures: multicore design issues, performance modeling and evaluation; and parallel and distributed software: data mining, parallel programming tools and compilers.
