Local and travel information for Amsterdam http://chep2013.org/venue ------------------------------------------ We're pleased to host the 20th CHEP in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We're right inside the city centre with its famous canals which breathes history and gives the city its character; the warehouses once used for trade have now been converted into apartments that mingle comfortably with creative business and finance, all nestled in the 17th and 18th-century mansions. The city has a remarkably compact centre with many interesting locations within walking distance, quite unique for a city that has almost 750,000 inhabitants. You'll be able to explore the city on Wednesday afternoon, and to help you on your way, we've put up some travel hints and links to places to see and things to do. http://chep2013.org/venue has all the information you need. Lost? The venue is right between Central Station and the unmistakable Dam Square.

With of course special emphasis on multi- and many-core parallellism and "BiG Data Beyond Moore’s Law". All presentations have been scheduled, so have a look at the exciting programme with over 180 talks and 250 posters on or read all about it in the Book of Abstracts http://chep2013.org/boa The posters are centrally located around the refreshment area, and you can visit the poster village the whole week.
