CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Frontiers '90
The 3rd Symposium on the Frontiers of
Massively Parallel Computation
October 8-10, 1990
To be held at:
University of Maryland, Center of Adult Education
College Park, Maryland USA
Sponsored by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, IEEE Computer Society
and the National Capital Area Council of the IEEE in cooperation with
the University of Maryland, this symposium will focus on the increasing
importance of massively parallel programming techniques. Systems
with over 1000 processors were considered "massively parallel" for
the purposes of this symposium.
The conference will consist of invited speakers, presentations,
tutorials, and poster sessions covering all aspects of massively parallel
processing. Over 35 presentations, held in parallel sessions, will
cover topics in architectures, networks, algorithms, applications, and
software. There will also be exhibits by leading industrial and research
organizations showcasing both commercially available products as well
as experimental technology.
The Center for Adult Education is located on the University of Maryland
at College Park campus. Nine miles from the nation's capital,
College Park is just minutes from some of the country's most important
landmarks - from the US Senate to the White House to the Smithsonian
Institution, Lincoln Memorial, Kennedy Center, and more.
Hotel accomodations are available within the Center of Adult Education
or within a 10 minutes of campus. The campus is 30 minutes from
Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) or Washington National Airports.
Conference rates are:
$145 IEEE/CS members
$180 Non-Members
$ 20 Students
Tutorial rates (per tutorial) are:
$140 IEEE/CS Members
$180 Non-Members
$ 50 Students
Banquet Tickets: $30
