1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel
Processing invites engineers and scientists from around the world to
participate in the 10th International Parallel Processing Symposium.
Established to advance knowledge in all areas of parallel processing and
related technologies, the symposium is the committee's primary event
for presenting the most recent research and development findings. In its
10th year, the now standard IPPS events include contributed technical
papers, keynote speeches and panels, workshops and tutorials, and an
industrial track and commercial exhibits.


WORKSHOPS: Workshops offer the opportunity for in-depth
exploration of selected topics. Those already planned for next year are
listed below. However, proposals for workshops to address other topics
in the field are encouraged. To organize a workshop, send a one page
proposal to the Symposium Chair by September 29, 1995. To participate
in an already planned workshop, contact organizer listed below:

INDUSTRIAL TRACK/COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS: These
paired activities give manufacturers of commercial products the
opportunity to both explain and demonstrate their wares. The Industrial
Track consists of original technical papers authored and presented by
representatives from various companies (one paper per company).
Topics of interest for papers include but are not limited to descriptions,
comparisons, or evaluations of the design, implementation, or
performance of an existing commercial system. Commercial Exhibits
allow vendors to display their products in an informal "walk-up and
talk" setting. Companies are encouraged to participate in both of these
events. For more details, contact the Industrial-Commercial Chair by
October 31, 1995.
