WoTUG-18
9th-12th April 1994

Hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University

An Invitation

The WoTUG-18 programme committee invites all researchers  and engineers
active in the theory and practice of parallel computing based  upon
communicating process architectures to attend the 18th Technical
Meeting of WoTUG in Manchester. The academic content of the conference
focuses on, but is not restricted to, the following areas:

* Innovative approaches to problem solving that exploit the nature of
parallelism  to achieve high performance and highly reliable
applications

* Methods and tools for the design, implementation, verification, and
optimisation  of parallel systems

* Run-time support environments for parallel machines

* Theory of concurrency for communicating process systems

* Real-time issues such as fault-tolerance and scheduling

* State of the art applications from any field - industrial, commercial
scientific,  or mathematical.

The Location

The conference will be hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University at
the Manchester Conference Center (MCC). The centre has excellent
facilities and is situated  in the centre  of Manchester and is  easily
accessible by road and rail.

Manchester is recognised as a world centre for innovation in computing,
with the National Computing Centre, national super-computing
facilities,  a regional high-performance computing centre, and the
national archive for  the history of computing situated in the city.

Manchester, the U.K.'s second city, is a lively and exciting place with
much to see and do. Also Manchester is served by an international
airport, and has excellent road and rail links. For further information
on Manchester see the HyperGuide
(http://info.mcc.ac.uk/Geology/HyperGuide/HyperGuide.html) to
Manchester.

The Program

The conference will comprise a number of different activities,
including:

* An Invited speaker to talk about the development of the innovative
new processor, the T450

* Single-stream presentation of refereed papers. Participants at the
meeting  will receive a copy of the published proceedings;

* Special Interest Groups, including: Transputer hardware, occam3,
education,  artificial intelligence, graphics and image processing,
parallel environments,  numerical methods, real-time and
safety-critical systems;

* An industrial session reporting occam and Transputer experiences from
industry

* An exhibition of Transputer based equipment, software, and
literature;

* A panel session, discussing technical, political, and economic
questions  raised by participants

The conference has a strong tradition of academic discussion, balanced
by a warm and enjoyable social aspect. A full program is available at
the end of this call along with a list of accepted papers.
