-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MPI standard is one of the most important standardization efforts in
parallel computing.  If you do parallel computing, MPI will affect you in the
months and years to come.  Take this opportunity to learn about MPI -- or
better yet, to contribute to future extensions of MPI -- in a forum dedicated
to the continued development and application of MPI.

The following is the preliminary program for the MPI Developers Conference.
Complete, up-to-the-minute information about the conference, including
registration forms, can be found at http://www.cse.nd.edu/mpidc95.
