The Second International Conference on Applications of Transputers TRANSPUTER APPLICATIONS 90 Southampton University, 11 - 13 July 1990 CALL FOR PAPERS Sponsors: SERC/DTI Transputer Initiative in the Engineering Applications of Transputers Hosts: Transputer Technology Solutions Co-sponsors: Institute of Electrical Engineers Institute of Physics British Computer Society Introduction Transputer Applications 90 is the second in a series of SERC/DTI Transputer Initiative conferences. The first of these was held at the University of Liverpool in August 1989 and was widely acclaimed as a highly successful event. Transputer Applications 90 will continue the theme started at the 1989 conference in providing a forum where applications developers from industry, government and academia can present the results and experiences of using transputer based systems. Programme Committee Tony Hey (Chairman), University of Southampton Mike Delves, University of Liverpool Paul Garrett, Meiko Limited Mike Jane, SERC/DTI Transputer Initiative Philip Mattos, Inmos Limited Brian Roberts, RSRE Jeff Reeve, University of Southampton Malcolm Sabin, Fegs Limited Chris Scott, TTS Richard Tremayne-Smith, DTI Patrick Van Renterghem, State University of Ghent The Conference The conference will be organised to include invited speaker presentations, which do not overlap with other conference activities, and parallel sessions for contributed papers. Applications given particular emphasis at Transputer Applications 90 will include, but are not restricted to, the following: Real-time control Image processing and pattern recognition Molecular modelling Real-time data processing Industrial and commercial applications Applications developed or running under proprietry operating systems and programming environments. Multi-transputer applications will also be given more emphasis by referees than single- transputer applications. Invited Speakers Tony Hoare, Oxford PRG (Keynote Speaker) Jean-Marie Cadiou, European Commission Christian Tricot, Archipel Dennis Shea, IBM, Yorktown Derek Paddon, University of Bristol Ian Pearson, Inmos Limited Andreas Eppinger, Robert Bosch GmbH Peter Zimmermann, Volkswagen AG Leo Wiggers, NIKHEF Ian Browning, RSRE Contributed papers Authors are invited to submit papers on original and unpublished work which can be described as a "transputer application". The following instructions must be adhered to: 1. Three copies of an extended abstract of approximately 4 pages should be submitted for consideration by referees. 2. Two copies of a short abstract of at most 1 page should also be submitted for publication in the Transputer Applications 90 edition of the SERC/DTI Transputer Initiative Mailshot. 3. Where papers have more than one author please indicate who intends to make the presentation. 4. Include the full mailing address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address (if possible) of the author to be notified. 5. Where possible abstracts should be submitted on A4 size paper and be written in 12 Times Roman font. Hard copies must be submitted. Machine-readable versions would be welcomed in addition to hard-copies. These should be either LATEX or PC readable ASCII and on floppy disk or via e-mail to ta90@uk.ac.soton.tts. 6. Abstracts should be sent to: Yvonne Flynn TA90 Conference Abstracts Transputer Technology Solutions 2 Venture Road Chilworth Research Centre Southampton SO1 7NP UK Deadlines The following deadlines for the submission of abstracts and camera ready copy must be observed: 9 March 1990 : Deadline for submission of extended abstracts 10 April 1990 : Contributors will be notified of acceptance by this date 11 May 1990 : Deadline for submission of camera ready copy of final papers for publication in Transputer Applications 90 conference proceedings. "Concurrency" Special Edition Authors of a selected subset of papers will be invited, prior to the conference, to submit their papers for publication in a special edition of "Concurrency : Practice and Experience". It is anticipated that this edition will be published approximately three months after the conference. Please indicate if you do not wish your paper to be considered for publication in this journal. Associated events A large exhibition of transputer hardware and software will run concurrently with the conference. Pre-conference events include: Exhibition opening Introduction to Transputers tutorials DTI Parallel Software Evaluation Project reports Image Processing and Transputers workshop Esprit Parallel Computing Action workshop. Fees and Accommodation Conference registration fees will be published shortly. "Residential" and "non- residential" packages will be offered with "residential" accommodation being at Southampton University halls of residence. "Non-residential" participants will be able to make local hotel bookings at very favourable "conference" rates.
