Conclusion

This year's SEPARS meeting 2015 was hosted by Urs Gleim on January, 27th at Siemens Corporate Technology in Munich. The meeting was well received with over 30 attendees from the parallel research community and industry. The hottest topic this year was the appropriate support to assist software engineers in the tedious and time-consuming parallelization tasks.
