ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

The OpenMP API is a widely accepted standard for high-level shared-memory 
parallel programming.  Since its introduction in 1997, OpenMP has gained
support from the majority of high-performance compiler and hardware 
vendors. 

WOMPAT 2003 is latest in a series of OpenMP-related workshops, which 
have included the annual offerings of WOMPAT, EWOMP and WOMPEI.  
Additional information about these previous workshops can be found 
through the cOMPunity web site: http://www.compunity.org. 

The Workshop on OpenMP Applications and Tools (WOMPAT 2003) will serve 
as a forum for users and developers of OpenMP to meet, share ideas and 
experiences, and to discuss the latest developments in OpenMP and its 
applications.  WOMPAT 2003 is co-sponsored by the OpenMP Architecture
Review Board (ARB), cOMPunity (a community of researchers and developers 
in academia and industry), Intel Corporation, and the Edward S. Rogers 
Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University 
of Toronto.

A SPECIAL NOTE ON SARS:

On 14-May-2003, the World Health Organization removed Toronto from the list
of areas with recent local transmission of SARS. This step was taken after
20 days (twice the incubation period) passed since the last locally aquired 
case of SARS had been isolated.  According to the WHO, "the chain of 
transmission is considered broken."  For the complete text of the Update
