                 SECOND WORKSHOP ON LARGE GRAINED PARALLELISM
                              OCTOBER 11-14, 1987
                          HIDDEN VALLEY, PENNSYLVANIA

Organized  by the Software Engineering Institute and the Department of Computer
Science, Carnegie Mellon University,  with  the  cooperation  of  the  Computer
Society of the IEEE (Technical Committee on Distributed Processing.)

The  Second  Workshop  on Large Grained Parallelism is being organized to bring
together researchers in the areas of programming languages, methodologies,  and
formalisms   for   loosely-coupled   computer   networks,   and  developers  of
applications who would benefit from such work. Issues of interest within  these
areas  include, but are not limited to, performance, fault tolerance, real-time
execution, and heterogeneity of the environment.

Attendance is by invitation only. Researchers interested in participating  must
submit five (5) copies of a short (1 or 2 pages long) abstract describing their
activities in the areas of interest outlined above.

The workshop technical  sessions  will  consist  of  a  combination  of  formal
presentations, panel sessions, and working group meetings. Only a subset of the
participants will address the audience in the formal  sessions.    All  of  the
abstracts  will be published as conference proceedings and will be available to
the participants upon arrival.   The  participants  will  have  the  option  of
submitting  a  revised  version  of  their  abstracts  a few weeks prior to the
meeting.
