Following Transputers'92 and Transputers'94, conference organizers are now planning TDP96 with the aim of bringing together leaders in the fields of parallelism and distribution with leaders in the fields of telecommunication, both from industry and academia. 



*** CONFERENCE THEME ***

Tdp96 will focus on the study of Telecommunications, Distribution 
and Parallelism.

The previous Conferences Transputers'92 and Transputers'94
focused on the study of Transputers and their applications.

>From the networks of transputers to the networks of workstations
the bridge is easily crossed.
We were already in the area of parallelism and dis
tribution. We keep this area and extend to Networks and
Telecommunications.

This extension is motivated by the following fact:
Because of the competition, operators and manufacturers
try to produce Telecom networks
- with high performance
and
- with many services
That is why parallelism and distributed systems are
very important in Telecom networks

Thus the objective of Tdp96 is to acquaint both the engineer and
the researcher with the state of the art and prospects for
Telecommunications, Networks, Distributed and
Parallel machines and their applications.

We will focus our efforts along the two following
complementary lines.
- Specific use of parallel or distributed machines for
Telecommunications, Mobile Communication
Systems, Multimedia.
- General presentation of new results in research and/or
applications in Parallelism and Distribution.



*** SUGGESTED TOPICS ***

*** CAGLIARI IN SARDINIA ***

TDP96 will be held May 20-22, 1996 in Cagliari in a large resort on the southern Sardinian coast.This is a truly unique conference site, equipped with first-rate modern facilities, and one which lends itself remarkably well to the development of new ideas, the comparison of experiences, and meetings among people.
 
Located near the city of Cagliari, the area is easily accessible by plane from Munich, Paris, Milan, Rome and other italian cities.
