on Tuesday. Wednesday through Friday will feature sessions for contributed
papers along with industrial track presentations and a panel discussion on
Thursday. Each day will open with a keynote address.

CONTRIBUTED PAPERS

There will be 126 contributed technical papers to be presented in 21 technical
sessions. Topics span the design, development, use, and analysis of parallel
processing systems.

Target???
Moderator: H.J. Siegel, Purdue University

WORKSHOPS

Ten workshops have been organized: five begin on Monday, five on Tuesday and
all conclude by the end of Tuesday. Workshops are open to all symposium
registrants, and descriptions of each follow here in the Advance Program. Since
submission criteria and deadlines vary, contact individual workshop organizers
for more information. IPPS '96 workshops are:

(Starting on Monday, April 15th)

1. Formal Methods for Parallel Programming: Theory and Applications
2. Reconfigurable Architectures and Algorithms
3. Fault-Tolerant Parallel and Distributed Systems
4. Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems
5. Heterogeneous Computing

(Starting on Tuesday, April 16th)

6. Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing
7. High-Level Programming Models and Supportive Environments
8. Randomized Parallel Computing
9. Solving Irregular Problems on Distributed Memory Machines
10. High-Speed Network Computing

TUTORIALS

There will be two tutorials, and both will be held on Tuesday. Tutorial 1 will
be held in the morning and Tutorial 2 will be held in the afternoon, so it will
be possible to register for both sessions. The topics are:

1. An Introduction to the Message-Passing Interface (MPI)
2. Introduction to Parallel and Distributed Simulation Techniques With
   Applications to VLSI, Multiprocessor Architectures, and Mobile
   Telecommunication Systems

INDUSTRIAL-COMMERCIAL TRACK

The Industrial Track on Thursday will consist of technical papers authored by
representatives from commercial vendors some of whom will also be exhibiting.
For more information on participation and planned exhibits, contact
Industrial-Commercial Chair John K. Antonio (antonio@cs.ttu.edu).

SOCIAL EVENTS

Refreshments will be served at several breaks throughout the day. On Wednesday
and Thursday, there will be a 3 hour mid-day break, and IPPS attendees are
encouraged to organize recreational and explorational activities during this
time. It will also be a chance to "hit the beach" and return refreshed for late
afternoon sessions. An IPPS get-together is planned for Wednesday evening
(details at registration) and everyone is invited to the traditional Beach
Party on Friday.

REGISTRATION

Note that advance registration must be sent to the IEEE Computer Society by 
March 15, 1996. Registrations after March 29, 1996 will be accepted on-site only.
