TheVector and Parallel Processors in Computational Science meetings were held in Chester (VAPP I, 1981), Oxford (VAPP II, 1984) and Liverpool (VAPP III, 1987). The International conferences on Parallel Processing took place in Erlangen (CONPAR 81), Aachen (CONPAR 86) and Manchester (CONPAR 88). The format of the joint meeting will follow the pattern set by its predecessors. It is intended to review hardware and architecture developments together with languages and software tools for supporting parallel processing. Another objective of the conference will be to highlight advances in algorithms and applications software on vector and parallel architectures. It is expected that the programme will cover languages/software tools, hardware/architecture, algorithms/software and applications. Also special sessions will be devoted to the field of application and/or programming language specific architectures; i.e. machines, where performance has been gained through limiting the field of applications, or systems designed according to a joint optimization of programming language and architecture. Other topics of special interest are * performance analysis for real-life applications * testing and debugging of parallel systems * portability of parallel programs * paradigms for concurrency and their implementation The conference should appeal to anyone with an interest in the design and use of vector and parallel machines. Call for Papers Original papers are invited for the conference. Five copies of the full paper (maximum of 10 pages) are to be submitted no later than Feb 1, 1990. The proceedings of the joint VAPP/CONPAR conference will be published as a volume in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
