SPONSOR: The International Association of Science and Technology for
                    Development, IASTED


PURPOSE:
The International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing and
Systems, sponsored by IASTED, is a major annual forum for scientists,
engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present the latest
research results, ideas, development and applications in all areas of
parallel and distributed processing. The 1995 conference attracted
researchers from 37 countries. The 1996 meeting (PDCS'96) will include
keynote addresses, contributed papers, tutorials, workshops and
commercial exhibitions. This year's conference will be held in
Chicago, Illinois, USA - which features the home of the Museum of
Science and Industry, housing international exhibits of technology
(including U-505, captured during World War II), the Chicago Art
Institute and other internationally known museums. Sites of interest
also include the Sears Tower, and Lakefront shopping area.
