The purpose of the Workshop is to review the on-line use of transputers
in Nuclear and High-Energy Physics, to improve our knowledge by the
exchange of experience, to encourage collaboration and to discuss
future applications in experiments. In addition, experts will be
invited to present future plans and forthcoming developments of the
transputer.

                               Topics

           - Data-acquisition with transputers
           - Triggering with transputers
           - Monitoring / calibration with transputers
           - Experiment control with transputers

Important issues for each topic:

           - Interfacing to front-end electronics
           - Configurations of the transputer system
           - Integration with host systems
           - Application software
           - The environment for application development
           - Debugging
           - Performance

The organisation of the workshop is informal, with no charges for
attendance, but we would like you to register before 19 February 1989
preferably by e-mail or in writing to Mme. A. Perrelle, Data Handling
Division, CERN CH-1211 Geneva 23, tel. +41 22 767 2406 TELEX: 419000
FAX: +41 22 767 7155.

Contributions are invited from all who are involved with transputer
applications in Nuclear and High-Energy Physics. Please contact any
member of the organizing committee for suggestions for topics to be
discussed or send an electronic or paper proposal before 2 February
1990. Copies of the presentations, either papers or transparencies,
will be made available to participants. The final program will be
communicated to all who have expressed interest by e-mail if possible
shortly after 2 February 1990. This announcement serves as an
invitation to the workshop and a call for papers.

                            ABSTRACT MACHINE MODELS
                                      FOR
                           HIGHLY PARALLEL COMPUTERS

                           University of Leeds, U.K.
                                March 25-27 1991

                                 Organised by
       The British Computer Society Parallel Processing Specialist Group


Aim of the Workshop

The workshop aims to provide a forum for the discussion of abstract
machine models for highly parallel computers. Particular attention will be
given to the specification, implementation and application of such models
and to the identification of key issues for future research.

Workshop Format

A number of invited speakers will give keynote presentations. Working
groups will focus on major issues identified through position papers. The
main purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and as
many participants as possible will be given the opportunity to present a
position paper.  The workshop will be restricted to 60 delegates and it is
expected that all partici- pants will be active researchers in relevant
fields.  In the event that more than 60 applications are received,
selection will be on the basis of position papers submitted.


Invited Speakers Include :

  Dr. J.P. Banatre        IRISIA 
  Prof. C. Jesshope       Surrey University 
  Dr. D. May              INMOS Ltd.

  Dr. D. Nicole           Southampton University 
  Prof. E. Odijk          Philips Research
  Prof. S.Peyton-Jones    Glasgow  University 
  Prof I. Watson          Manchester University


Position Papers

Potential participants should submit a position paper or extended abstract
of around 1500 words indicating the current direction of their research.
The position papers of all participants will be made available at the
workshop.  It is hoped that fuller versions of selected papers will be
published more formally.

Suitable topics for position papers include, but are not limited to :

  Low level abstract machine models
  Impact of machine models on operating system design
  Models for general purpose parallel computing
  Performance models
  High level programming models
  Parallel system architectures
  Application-specific language interfaces
  Hardware support for abstract machine models
  Portable distribution runtime environments
  Open standards

Position papers should be submitted no later than 31st January 1991 to :

  Mrs. J. A. Thursby
  Abstract Machine Workshop Secretary
  School of Computer Studies
  The University
  Leeds
  UK
  LS2 9JT


Cost

The basic cost of the workshop will be approximately 100 pounds, which
includes lunch and light refreshments on each day, and a copy of the
position papers.

Optional costs will be approximately :

Bed & Breakfast     24 to 26 March     20 pounds for each day
Dinner              24 to 25 March      9 pounds 
Workshop Dinner    Tuesday 25 March    25 pounds (incl. wine)

Vegetarian meals are available on all occasions.
