Kazuto Matsui from the Inmos Business Centre in Tokyo reminds me to tell everyone that the OUG Japan meeting (previously announced here) in May 1991 has been cancelled, or at least indefinitely postponed. This is to avoid any conflict with the meeting sponsored by the various occam and transputer user groups around the world, to happen in Santa Clara, California 22--26th April 1991. While I am here let me remind you about that meeting too. The call for papers is attached to the end of this posting, just in case you missed the 1st October deadline. If you are intedning to submit anything it would propbably be as well to give immediate notice to one of the collectors listed in the call, and get the paper to them as soon as possible. Since the launch of the H1 is now scheduled for mid-April, you can expect that there will be a full technical disclosure from Inmos on this product at the Santa Clara meeting. gj TRANSPUTING 1991 - CALL FOR PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The First World Conference of National Transputer and Occam User Groups will take place at :- Title: TRANSPUTING 1991 Place: Santa Clara, California (at the Sunnyvale Hilton) Dates: 22nd. to 26th. April, 1991 The goals of this conference are :- + to present ``state-of-the-art'' research on all aspects of parallel computing based upon communicating process architectures; + to demonstrate ``state-of-the-art'' products and applications from as wide a range of fields as possible; + to progress the establishment of international software and hardware standards for parallel computing systems; + to provide a forum for the free exchange of ideas, criticism and information from a world audience gathered from Industry, Commerce and Academia; + to establish and encourage an understanding of the new software and hardware technologies enabled by the transputer; + to promote an awareness of how these technologies may be applied and what are their advantages. The conference themes will include: education and training issues, formal methods and security, performance and scalability, porting existing systems, parallelisation paradigms, tools, programming languages, support environments, standards and applications. Applications include: embedded real-time control systems, workstations, super-computing, consumer products, artificial intelligence, databases, modelling, design, data gathering and the testing of scientific or mathematical theories. The conference programme will contain invited papers from established international authorities in these fields together with submitted papers. The International Program Committee, presided over by Professor P.H. Welch (OUG Chair), is now soliciting papers on all areas described above. All papers will be fully refereed. Only papers of high excellence will be accepted. The proceedings of this conference will be published internationally and will be given to delegates as they register at the start of the meeting. PROGRAMME COMMITTEE The programme committee consists of invited experts from Industry and Academia together with existing committee members from the joint organising user-groups based in Australia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Latin America, New Zealand, North America, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The organising load is being spread around the world to ensure that all points of view and expertise are properly represented and to obtain the highest standards of excellence. INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS Seven copies of submitted papers (not exceeding 16 pages - single-spaced, A4 or US ``letter'') must reach one of the Program Committee members nominated below before 1st October, 1990. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 15th November, 1990. Final camera-ready copy will be required by 6th January, 1991. A submitted paper should be a draft version of the final camera-ready copy. It should contain most of the information, qualitative and quantitative, that will appear in the final paper - i.e. it should not be just an extended abstract.

On the Friday, we shall be running several workshops that will focus directly on a range of specialist themes (e.g. real-time issues, formal methods, AI, super-computing, ...). We welcome suggestions from the community for what particular themes should be chosen for these tutorials and workshops. In particular, we welcome proposals from any group that wishes to run such a tutorial or workshop. A submission should give details of the proposed programme, numbers of people to attend (minimum and maximum) and how much equipment (if any) is needed for support. Please submit your suggestions and/or proposals to one of the Committee listed above by 1st October, 1990.

Would someone repost the H1 description? Will it really be a 100MIPs, 100Mb/link processor? Will those of us who stuck by transputers in the face of increasingly fast competition be vindicated? Would someone at cornell give me an email address there to contact about getting the latest Trollius release (previous mail has not been responded to)? Would someone post the address of the trollius mailing list? Demanding sort aren't I? :-) Thanks, Lindsay Patten Never get angry at stupid people! -Erasure Pattern Analysis & Machine Intelligence Group S4 y+ f-- t+ w- k+ m h- r Department of Systems Design Engineering lindsay@pami.waterloo.edu University of Waterloo {utai|decvax|uunet}!watmath!watnow!lindsay
