[ comp.parallel moderator: I am going to send this out again, but you should
  be aware there's already three or more copies of this announcement in the
  comp.parallel archives (in the educational announcements), an entry in
  the parallelism biblio, and who knows where else.... --enm]

A posting for those of you into parallel computing
(by me for Dr Albert Zomaya).
Announcing the imminent release of the following book.
Check out our web page at:
   http://www.ee.uwa.edu.au/~paracomp/home.html
for more goodies. The problems with this page have been remedied - thanks
to all those who informed me of their difficulties.
