Note: They do not have EMail] FRONTIERS '88 The 2nd Symposium on the Frontiers of Massively Parallel Computation October 10-12, 1988 George Mason University Fairfax, Virginia AN INVITATION Anyone who is involved with parallel computing structures that contain at least 1,000 processors-or that can be expanded to this number in the near- term-is invited to present a paper at this symposium. The symposium will focus on the increasing importance of massively parallel computer systems and data parallel programming techniques. Papers about applications, architectures, and theory by users and developers from industry, academia, and government are invited. Selected papers will be published in a dedicated issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. Tutorials will survey the concepts embodied in massively parallel systems and broad application areas. Exhibits will feature commercial and prototype massively parallel systems, relevant journals and newsletters. Those interested in presenting a paper must submit three copies of a three- page abstract to the program chairman no later than April 20, 1988. Complete names, addresses, and telephone numbers for all authors (beginning with primary author) must accompany the abstract. Letters of acceptance and guidelines for preparing a final paper will be sent to authors by June 15, 1988. Authors who prefer to present their papers as part of a poster session should so indicate. The program chairman reserves the right to assign authors to a poster session in the event of greater than expected response.
