The Euro-Par steering committee selects the future conference sites, oversees the planning of the yearly conferences and maintains the continuity of the series. Since we can now draw from a wide range of experience in running Euro-Par, the rules of membership of Europeans on the steering committee have been changed in 2006 and are as follows:

• When a bid for organizing the conference is granted, one central member of the organization team is made an observer of the steering committee.
• In the following year, when the conference is being held, this person becomes a full member of the steering committee.
• Members remain on the steering committee until they hand in their resignation or do not attend two consecutive committee meetings.

Honorary members are appointed for life by the steering committee.

The Euro-Par advisory board is an international gremium of professionals interested in fostering parallel computing, which serves as a representation of the Euro-Par community and a source of ideas for the development of the Euro-Par conference series.
