pAs'95: Aizu International Symposium on Parallel Algorithm/Architecture Synthesis
       
            Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan, March 15-17, 1995
................................................................................
 
pAs'95 is the first international symposium organized by the University of Aizu 
that focuses on massively parallel computations and systems. We raise special 
attention to parallel algorithm/architecture synthesis and parallelism for
virtual reality. The goal is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and 
researchers throughout the world to exchange ideas and new research results 
related to the current development and applications of parallel algorithms
and architectures. Topics of interests include (but not limited to) the following:

- parallel algorithms
- parallel  architectures
- massively  parallel computing systems 
- parallel software methodologies
- automated design and synthesis of parallel programs, 
- parallel processing in multimedia systems
- parallel program transparency 
- parallel image processing and visualization
- fault tolerance and load balancing
- routing and broadcasting
- distributed computing systems

pAs'95 includes the following three sessions:

- session for tutorial:
pAs'95 will provide one day (March 14, 1995) for tutorial
on parallel algorithms, parallel architectures, and parallel languages.

- session for invited/original paper presentations:
The key speakers for invited presentation are prof. T.L. Kunii (Japan),
prof. F. Hsu (USA), Prof. C. Jesshope (UK), prof. C. Lengauer (Germany),
and prof. H. Zima (Austria).

- session for research projects on parallel supercomputers in Japan:
The leaders (or the representatives) of the currently undergoing 
research projects in Japan on parallel supercomputers will meet together 
to give overview on the development of their systems.
The projects that are being invited include:

- Japanese University Massively Parallel Processing Project (JUMPP)
- Real World Computing Program (RWCP)
- Computational Physics by Parallel Array Computer Systems (CP-PACS)
- Aizu Supercomputer Project
- ADENA Project
- Aizu CV-1 Project

Paper Submissions:

Authors should submit five copies of full paper in English to:

by IEEE Computer Society Press.

The University of Aizu is the first Computer University in the world.
The opening of the University of Aizu in April 1994 began a new era
for computer science. Established as the first Japanese research university
with positions open to world-class faculty, the university of Aizu attracted
top researchers and educators from 16 countries around the world. 
The University of Aizu is in the scenic vicinity of the Bandai-Asahi
National Park, and is located in Aizu-Wakamatsu City, the historical capital
of the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, famous for skiing resort and sake 
(Japanese rice wine). 

Important Dates: 

- Papers due on: Oct. 1, 1994
