The Occam User Group invites all  those  interested  in  the  Programming  and
Application  of  Transputer  based  Architectures to attend its 12th Technical
Meeting at the University of Exeter.  The Group is concerned with all  aspects
of  the  Inmos  Transputer  and  includes  amongst its members the most active
researchers  and  industrial  users  in  the  area.  The  conference  includes
lectures,  an  exhibition,  a panel session with key speakers, and meetings of
the Special Interest Groups.

Authors are requested to submit FIVE copies of an Extended Abstract of between
1000 and 1500 words outlining the content of their paper.  Abstracts should be

The emphasis of the conference is on  the  techniques  and  tools  that  allow
transputers   to   be   used  effectively  and  papers  describing  industrial
applications are particularly  welcome.   Contributions  are  invited  in  all
relevant  areas of interest, for example: simulation, real time control, image
and signal processing, graphics and CAD, databases, neural  networks  and  AI,
parallel  programming  languages,  functional  and  object oriented languages,
