	   2nd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON HIGH-SPEED NETWORK 
                        COMPUTING (HiNet '96)
	   ____________________________________________________

    To be held in conjunction with the 10th International Parallel Processing 
                         Symposium (IPPS '96)

 
                        Sheraton Waikiki Hotel
                           Honolulu, Hawaii
                          April 15-19, 1996





High-speed networking is viewed by the information processing and 
telecommunications communities as the next major infrastructure industry. 
High-speed networks (such as Sonet/ATM and high-speed LANs) can be used for
interconnecting a large number of (possibly distant) autonomous computers 
that operate in a distributed computing environment. The main theme of this 
workshop centers on the impact of the emerging technology of high-speed 
networks in the area of high performance parallel and distributed computing. 
Contributions to HiNet '96 should explore the capabilities, point out the 
difficulties, and report on the experience with high-speed networks when 
employed in distributed computing environments. Topics of interest include, 
but are not limited to, the following:


1)  Computing paradigms for high speed networks 
2)  High-speed network protocols for parallel and distributed processing
3)  Programming environments and tools for high-speed network computing
4)  Performance evaluation and simulation
5)  Experimentations and test-beds
6)  Architecture and topology of high-speed networks
7)  Switching and routing techniques
8)  Distributed data-base design and processing on high speed networks
9)  Scheduling and load balancing aspects of high-speed network computing
10) Efficient communication interfaces
11) Mobile Computing
12) Mapping parallel algorithms onto high-speed networks
13) Algorithm design and analysis for high-speed networks
14) Applications and software tools

To submit a paper, send four copies of your complete manuscript (not to
exceed 20 double spaced pages) to one of the Workshop cochairs. 
Please include your postal and e-mail addresses as well as fax and phone
numbers.
