IPPS '96 PROGRAM SCHEDULE


IPPS '96 will include the customary events of contributed technical
papers, keynote addresses, workshops, and tutorials. An industrial

exhibits. The workshops will be conducted on Monday & Tuesday only and
the tutorials will be presented on Tuesday. Wednesday through Friday
will feature sessions for contributed papers along with industrial
track presentations and a panel discussion on Thursday. Each day will
open with a keynote address.


CONTRIBUTED PAPERS


There will be 126 contributed technical papers to be presented in 21
technical sessions. Topics span the design, development, use, and
analysis of parallel processing systems.

WORKSHOPS


Ten workshops have been organized: five begin on Monday, five on Tuesday and
all conclude by the end of Tuesday. Workshops are open to all symposium

10. High-Speed Network Computing


TUTORIALS


There will be two tutorials, and both will be held on Tuesday. Tutorial 1 will
be held in the morning and Tutorial 2 will be held in the afternoon, so it will
be possible to register for both sessions. The topics are:


1. An Introduction to the Message-Passing Interface (MPI)
2. Introduction to Parallel and Distributed Simulation Techniques With
      Applications to VLSI, Multiprocessor Architectures, and Mobile
      Telecommunication Systems


INDUSTRIAL-COMMERCIAL TRACK


The Industrial Track on Thursday will consist of technical papers authored by
representatives from commercial vendors some of whom will also be exhibiting.
For more information on participation and planned exhibits, contact
Industrial-Commercial Chair John K. Antonio (antonio@cs.ttu.edu).


SOCIAL EVENTS


Refreshments will be served at several breaks throughout the day. On Wednesday
and Thursday, there will be a 3 hour mid-day break, and IPPS attendees are
encouraged to organize recreational and explorational activities during this
time. It will also be a chance to "hit the beach" and return refreshed for late
afternoon sessions. An IPPS get-together is planned for Wednesday evening
(details at registration) and everyone is invited to the traditional Beach
Party on Friday.
