Plans are underway for ASCE's Eighth Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering, which will be held June 10-12, 1992 in Dallas, Texas (500-word abstracts are due July 1, 1991). Although I do not officially represent ASCE, I would like to encourage participation in this conference, especially from those of you who are working in PARALLEL and DISTRIBUTED PROGRAMMING (my own areas of interest). In addition, I hope that researchers in other disciplines such as mechanical engineering and numerical mathematics (who may be doing parallel computing in areas like finite element analysis and numerical optimization) will participate. Finally, I would be interested in hearing from any of you who plan to submit papers or are otherwise interested. See the CFP below for more details. Thank you, John W.

This series, initiated in 1978, provides a continuing forum for the advancement of intelligent computer use in the profession. The conference will bring together diverse groups within the profession and those affiliated with it to share knowledge, experience and techniques. The objective is to disseminate current and projected developments in both software and hardware and to educate users in the ways in which computers can be applied to practice, administration and education. This conference will include a "Symposium on Geographic Information Analysis," as well as sessions describing computer use in construction management, water resources, transportation, geotechnical, structural and other aspects of civil engineering. Papers are being sought that describe computer applications across all aspects of Civil Engineering, including education, design, assessment, and management. Computer applications in large and small engineering firms as well as government and education will be considered. Papers describing completed applications will be given priority, but quality discussions of work-in-progress will also be considered. Papers describing Geographic Information Analysis are particularly solicited.
