                          CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
 
              First International Workshop on Parallel Processing 


                     The Hotel Oberoi, Bangalore, India 
                            December 27-30, 1994

                             In cooperation with 
    IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) 
   IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA) 

                              With support from 
             Center for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC)

                      National Science Foundation (pending) 

This is the first international meeting in high performance computing
to be organized in India. It will serve as a forum to present current
work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight
activities in India in the high performance computing area. In
addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the
workshop will offer invited presentations, surveys of current work,
tutorials, vendor presentations and commercial exhibits.
