member responsible for new product definition and development.
Mr Tony Dent, General Manager, Asia Pacific from INMOS Japan,
will also be in attendance to assist in answering questions.
EXHIBITION
In conjunction with the Conference, an exhibition will
demonstrate the latest equipment being developed with the
transputer family. The following exhibitors have been invited:

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
A feature of this year's Conference and Exhibition will be the
provision of a one-day pre-Conference Workshop on Wednesday 5
July 1989 to provide an overview of transputer hardware and
software. This Workshop is particularly directed at an audience
which has no prior knowledge of the transputer, transputer-based
technology and parallel processing with the transputer. The
Workshop will include the following topics:
What is a transputer, and what can it do for me?
Parallel Processing and the transputer
The OCCAM programming language for transputers
Other high level language support for transputer-based systems
The cost of attendance at this one-day workshop will be $A95
(including workshop notes, morning, afternoon teas and lunch) is
not included in the cost of the Conference itself, but will be an
additional charge to participants. Those wishing to attend this
