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.

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.
