IPPS '97 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Parallel Processing, the 
symposium is the committee's primary forum for engineers and 
scientists from around the world to present their latest research 
findings in the field.  In addition to technical sessions of submitted 
paper presentations, IPPS '97 will offer workshops, tutorials, an 
industrial track, and commercial exhibits.  

Our University of Geneva hosts are making arrangements 
for on-campus housing as well as specially priced nearby hotel 
accommodations.  Also through the University, IPPS will be able 
to provide daily luncheon in addition to the usual breaks and 
refreshments.  Full details will be available in the Advance 
Program.

Also in 1997, PARCON, the one-day Symposium on New 
Directions in Parallel and Concurrent Computing, will co-locate 
with IPPS.  To accommodate their inclusion, workshops & 
tutorials will be held the first and last days, papers will be 
presented in technical sessions on the second and third days, 
and PARCON will be presented on the fourth day.

Tutorials Chair Tao Yang.  It should include a brief description of 
intended audience, a lecture outline and a vita(e) for lecturer(s).

INDUSTRIAL TRACK/COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS

The Industrial Track consists of original technical papers 
from various companies.  Topics may include descriptions, 
comparisons, or evaluations of the design, implementation, or 
performance of an existing commercial system.  Commercial 
Exhibits allow vendors to display their products in an informal 
walk-up-and-talk setting.  For details and to make sure your 
company is on the IPPS mailing list, contact the appropriate Co-
Chair (John Antonio in the USA and Helmar Burkhart in 
Switzerland) by 31 October 1996.

                                 PARCON 97

			 Symposium on New Directions in 
		       Parallel and Concurrent Computing
		   (Presented in cooperation with IPPS '97)
			        4 April 1997

PARCON was established in 1992 as a forum for leading scientists 
to speak about the issues and challenges at the frontier of this 
increasingly important field.  It has come to serve as a platform 
from which experts in both academia and industry may present 
their views on the current state-of-the-art as well as outline new 
ideas on the horizon.

As envisioned by its founding co-chairs Zvi M. Kedem & Krishna V. 
Palem, a major objective of PARCON is to promote the synergy 
between theoretical and practical aspects and at the same time to 
span the gamut of topics driving the field.  These topics include: 
algorithmics, programming models and languages, compilers, 
architecture, communication and networking.
		
In the 1992 and 1994 PARCON symposia, these objectives were 
met through the participation of: Mani Chandy, John Hennessy, 
Richard Karp, Ken Kennedy, Tom Leighton, Charles Leiserson, 
Michael Rabin, Charles Seitz, Marc Snir, and Leslie Valiant.
 	
PARCON will continue to draw upon its tradition of excellence and 
in 1997 will co-locate with IPPS in Geneva. The one day PARCON 
event will follow three days of IPPS workshops, tutorials, and 
technical sessions.  This "preparation" will make PARCON a grand 
finale of the week in Geneva.

As previously, PARCON will consist of lectures by invited speakers 
to be followed by a panel discussion on the topic of Building 
Parallel Machines:  Experiences and Lessons Learned.  Details of 
PARCON 97 will be available as part of the IPPS '97  Advance Program 
and other announcements and ads as well as on the IPPS '97 
Web page.  Attendance at PARCON (on the 4th day of IPPS) is 
included in the IPPS '97  registration.
