THE CONFERENCE IS ORGANIZED BY:
PARALLEL COMPUTING SOCIETY
This Parallel Computing 91 conference is a continuation of the
Parallel Computing 83, 85 and 89 conferences which were held
in Berlin and Leiden.
===============================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
--------------------------------
The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the state-of-the-art of the
development, application and future trends in parallel computing.
The emphasis of the conference will be on applications of parallel computing.
The following sections will be included:
1. Numerical and non-numerical algorithms for all types of parallel computers,
including vector and array processors, distributed systems, data flow
machines, hypercube systems, cellular/systolic architectures, neural nets.
2. All aspects of the applications of parallel computers, including business,
industrial, scientific and engineering applications.
3. Software for all types of parallel computers, software engineering,
programming paradigms, programming languages, programming
environments, user interfaces, system software, etc.
4. Taxonomy, models and architectural trends of parallel processing; general
architecture concepts, simulation and enabling technologies.
5. Performance prediction, benchmarking, measurement and analysis.
INVITED SPEAKERS
----------------
Professor M. Cosnard (France): Designing Non-Numerical Algorithms for
Distributed Memory Computers
Dr. D. DeGroot (USA) : Parallel Logic Programming and Speculative
Computation
