This book constitutes the refereed joint post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on High-Performance Computing, ISHPC 2005, held in, Japan, in 2005. It also includes the refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Advanced Low Power Systems 2006, ALPS2006, and some from the Workshop on Applications for PetaFLOPS Computing, APC 2005. A total of 42 papers were carefully selected from 76 submissions, covering a huge range of topics.

The theme of the GRSS '98 emphasizes the role of remote sensing for managing limited natural resources. It covers topics such as: applications of remote sensing; electromagnetic problems; data processing techniques; geophysical models; and techniques and instrumentation.

Coverage in this text on database and information systems includes: fundamental issues in statistical database management; current problems in scientific databases; new systems; implementation methods; applications of data and process modelling; and requirements and design."

The proceedings of Visualization 94, held in Washington, D.C., October 1994, comprise technical papers in the areas of volume visualization systems, applications, surfaces, visualization techniques, flow features and topology, visualizing geometry and algorithms, volume visualization techniques, user interfaces and techniques, flow visualization techniques, flow visualization systems, surface extraction, and visualization systems. Case studies are presented in the areas of magnetohydrodynamics and mathematics, environment, and medical applications. There are also six panels. Includes a 46-page section of color plates.
