PARLE 89, the second conference on Parallel Architectures and Languages
Europe, is intended to serve as a meeting place for researchers in the
fields of theory, design and applications of parallel computer systems.
The general scope of the conference is defined below. The initiative for
the conference was taken by project 415 of the European Strategic
Programme for Research and Development in Information Technology (ESPRIT)
of the Commission of the European Communities. 

SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE          

Papers are solicited on any aspect of Parallel Architectures and
Languages.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

#CONCEPTS AND PARADIGMS FOR PARALLEL SYSTEMS.
 Concurrent, object-oriented, logic, and functional programming.
 Process theory and Petri nets.
 Formal methods for design, specification, and verification.

#LANGUAGES AND MODELS FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING.
 Parallel languages and programming methodologies.
 Synchronization and communication.
 Semantics and models for parallelism. 
 Programming environments.

#DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES.
 MIMD, SIMD, dataflow, inference and reduction computers.
 VLSI, ULSI, and RISC architectures for parallel machines 
 Interconnection networks.
 Memory management, fault tolerance, real time aspects.
 Experience with working systems.

#SPECIAL PURPOSE PARALLEL SYSTEMS.
 Dedicated processors for AI.
 Systolic arrays, neural networks.
 Distributed databases and parallel database machines.

#EVALUATION OF PARALLEL SYSTEMS.
 Performance.
 Simulation.
 Debugging and monitoring tools.

#APPLICATIONS OF PARALLEL PROCESSING.
 Applications in AI and symbolic computation.
