Web master

In order to contribute to the success of the "International Conference on High Performance Scientific Computing 2003", the Web site HPSC 2003 have been constructed. A wide range of useful information has been provided to whom are interested in the conference that will take place in March 10-14, 2003.

Because the Web site is in the developing stage, there are still some mistakes or inconvenience to users. All comments and suggestions are highly appreciated by the organizer who would like to give the users the better Web site. Your opinions should be sent to the e-mail address scicom@thevinh.ncst.ac.vn.

We would like to express our sincere gratitute to open source community that create the innovative environment for worldwide developers to share their ideas, and codes under the GNU General Public License. Two powerful tools among many open source developing environments that have been used to build up the Web site "HPSC 2003" are Quanta+ 2.0 and Gimp 1.2.

• Quanta+ 2.0: Users have an efficient Web site project editor in hand. Quanta provides a good interface with enough features ranged from project management to HTML tags, JavaScript, PHP interactive editor. Books on some related areas in Quanta play an important role in the whole developing process.
• Gimp 1.2: Animated GIFs, small-sized JPEG images all could be manipulated by Gimp. This tool can help Web designers to decorate their HTML pages more colorful and, of course, attractive to readers.

An our respect is to worthy search engine Google which help us to collect valuable information on the Internet.

We also would like to thank the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR) at the University of Heidelberg (Germany) for its wonderful working environment helping us so much to design our site HPSC Hanoi 2003.
