PDPTA '97 will be hosting a special session on Parallel Stochastic
Optimization. This session welcomes submissions on the theoretical
and practical aspects of parallel simulated annealing, genetic
algorithms, other approaches, and hybrid methods.

Researchers are encouraged to submit extended abstracts on their 
latest results. Abstracts will be reviewed for originality, significance, 
clarity and timeliness. All accepted papers will appear in the published 
proceedings, which will be available to the delegates at the conference.

The extended abstracts (4-5 pages, double-spaced) should be sent to 
G. S. Stiles, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Utah State University, 
Logan, Utah, 84322-4120, by February 12, 1997.  E-mail submissions 
may be sent to dyke@stiles.ece.usu.edu. The length of accepted papers
will be limited to 10 pages.  Papers must not have been
previously published or currently submitted for publication
elsewhere. Please specify a preference for oral presentation or poster.

The first page of the abstract should include: title of the
paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address,
telephone number, and Fax number for each author.  The first
page should also include the name of the author who will be
presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords.

Additional information and status reports will be available at:

The 1997 Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and
Applications Conference (PDPTA '97) is the third in the PDPTA series.
PDPTA '97 will be held in conjunction with the International Conference 
on Imaging Science, Systems, and Technology (CISST'97) and the ninth
meeting of the North American Transputer Users Group. Information 
on this conference and the 1996 conference may be found at
