CALL FOR PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that demonstrate 
original unpublished research in all areas of parallel processing 
including development of experimental or commercial systems.  
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 Parallel Architectures, Memory Hierarchies, Parallel Algorithms, 
 Scientific Computing, Parallel Languages, Programming Environments,
 Parallelizing Compilers, Special Purpose Processors, VLSI Systems,

To submit an original research paper, send complete manuscript (not to 
exceed 15 single-spaced pages of text using point size 12 type on 
8 1/2 X 11 inch paper) to the Program Chair.  References, figures, tables, 
etc. may be included in addition to the fifteen pages of text.  Electronic 
submissions are encouraged and should be sent to ipps97@allan.ultra.nyu.edu.  
They must be in the form of a readable postscript file containing the foll.
information in ASCII form:  title, author name(s), abstract, postal address,

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 systems.  
Commercial Exhibits allow vendors to display their products in an informal 
walk-up-and-talk setting.  For details, contact the appropriate Co-chair
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.
