This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2013, held in Aachen, Germany, in August 2013. The 70 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 261 submissions. The papers are organized in 16 topical sections: support tools and environments; performance prediction and evaluation; scheduling and load balancing; high-performance architectures and compilers; parallel and distributed data management; grid, cluster and cloud computing; peer-to-peer computing; distributed systems and algorithms; parallel and distributed programming; parallel numerical algorithms; multicore and manycore programming; theory and algorithms for parallel computation; high performance networks and communication; high performance and scientific applications; GPU and accelerator computing; and extreme-scale computing.

In The Art of Navigation Felix Wolf recounts the adventure of his own life, and how his association with Carlos Castaneda transformed him - from a first encounter in 1980 to his apprenticeship with Castaneda in the 1990s, up to the present, more than a decade after Castaneda's death. Wolf's story follows his journey over thirty years and across the globe, from hedonistic beginnings towards surrender and awakening, from a focus on magic and power to the emergence of love and compassion. The central theme of this memoir is the art of navigation, which entails living life in the spirit of a magical treasure hunt - playful, intuitive, fluid, and fully aware in the Now.For readers interested in practicing this art for themselves, Wolf summarizes the how-to of navigating life. It was first taught by Castaneda in his popular books of shamanic experience, books which sparked the New Age movement of the '70s and '80s. Now, Wolf tells his own amazing story of action guided by synchronicity. Whoever has the audacity to ask the question "What does life want me to do?" will learn here how to find the answer.

This book presents a comprehensive mathematical and computational approach for solving electromagnetic problems of practical relevance, such as electromagnetic scattering and the cavity problems.
