              PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES AND LANGUAGES  EUROPE

              12-16 JUNE 1989, EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS

PARLE 89, the second conference on Parallel Architectures and Languages
Europe, is intended to serve as a meeting place for researchers in the
fields of theory, design and applications of parallel computer systems.
The general scope of the conference is defined below. The initiative for
the conference was taken by project 415 of the European Strategic
Programme for Research and Development in Information Technology (ESPRIT)
of the Commission of the European Communities.

This project investigates parallel architectures which support programming
styles such as object-oriented, dataflow, functional and logic programming.
Accordingly, it is expected that language driven architectures will be an
important, though by no means exclusive, focusing point of the conference.

The first issue of PARLE, in 1987, attracted more than 300 participants.
There were 156 submitted papers, of which 44 were selected for
presentation.  The proceedings, which also include five invited lectures,
have been published by Springer-Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer
Science 258 and 259.


SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

Papers are solicited on any aspect of Parallel Architectures and
Languages.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

#CONCEPTS AND PARADIGMS FOR PARALLEL SYSTEMS.
 Concurrent, object-oriented, logic, and functional programming.
 Process theory and Petri nets.
 Formal methods for design, specification, and verification.

#LANGUAGES AND MODELS FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING.
 Parallel languages and programming methodologies.
 Synchronization and communication.
 Semantics and models for parallelism.
 Programming environments.

#DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES.
 MIMD, SIMD, dataflow, inference and reduction computers.
 VLSI, ULSI, and RISC architectures for parallel machines
 Interconnection networks.
 Memory management, fault tolerance, real time aspects.
 Experience with working systems.

#SPECIAL PURPOSE PARALLEL SYSTEMS.
 Dedicated processors for AI.
 Systolic arrays, neural networks.
 Distributed databases and parallel database machines.

#EVALUATION OF PARALLEL SYSTEMS.
 Performance.
 Simulation.
 Debugging and monitoring tools.

#APPLICATIONS OF PARALLEL PROCESSING.
 Applications in AI and symbolic computation.
