PROGRAM DIRECTOR:
        John R. Sopka (DEC)

CONTRIBUTED LECTURES:

        About 125 papers have been submitted, covering a large number of
        subjects. In summary the issues for the ICS'90 Conference are quite
        well in agreement with what we believe to be the current trends and
        main problems: tools to aid parallel programming as well as parallel
        execution, the effects of memory hierarchy, programming techniques,
        visualization, effective use of suitable kernels like the BLAS3,
        besides the already more classical topics in this rapidly expanding
        area: parallel algoritms, large scale applications on vector
        multiprocessors and local memory machines, performance
        evaluation, and architectures for special applications.
        No more tham two parallel sessions will be scheduled at the
        same time.
