Automatic Parallelization

This work contains 11 contributions which deal with true automatic parallelization, and the focus is on automatic methods. Some of the questions under discussion are: up to which degree is automatic parallelization for DMS possible today? What are currently the most important problems for automatic parallelization and which new ideas are there? In which cases can knowledge-based methods help? Are there promising methods for automatic data distribution and redistribution? Why is performance prediction problematic?
