There are two PDF files: the whole book, about 6.3 MB, and the introductory chapters plus appendixes, about 800 kB. There are 415 pages in the book, only 29 more than in the first edition. New topics include wavelets, the Fourier transform, and adaptive FEM. The printed version will appear this Fall.

The name of the book is "Applied Parallel Computing: Advanced Scientific Computing", and it has 612 pages. Springer wrote nice description of the proceedings: "The 50 revised full papers presented together with nine keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings."
