Welcome to the proceedings of the 2006 International Conference on High-Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC 2006), held in Munich, Germany, from September 13–15, 2006. This event marks the second edition of the HPCC conference series, and we are honored to serve as Chairmen with the guidance of the HPCC Steering Chairs, Beniamino Di Martino and Laurence T. Yang. The past decade has seen rapid growth in computing and communication technology, leading to a proliferation of powerful parallel and distributed systems and a rising demand for high-performance computing and communication (HPCC). This technology has become essential in addressing large and complex problems with tight time constraints. HPCC 2006 serves as a forum for engineers and scientists from academia, industry, and government to tackle the challenges in this field and share new ideas, research results, applications, and experiences related to HPCC. With 328 paper submissions from Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas, this year's conference saw a significant increase in contributions compared to its inaugural year, highlighting the domain's importance. Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members or external reviewers, making the selection process for presentations highly competitive due to the quality and interest of the submissions.
