              FOURTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON
                HIGH PERFORMANCE DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING (HPDC-4)
 
               Ritz Carlton Hotel, Pentagon City, Virginia
                            August 1-4, 1995
 
SPONSORS:
 
    - IEEE Computer Society
        - Northeast Parallel Architectures Center at Syracuse University
 
IN COOPERATION WITH:
 
        - ACM SIGCOMM
        - Rome Laboratory
 
The IEEE International Symposium on High Performance
Distributed Computing (HPDC) provides a forum for presenting the latest
research findings that unify parallel and distributed computing.
In HPDC environments, parallel or distributed computing techniques
are applied to the solution of computationally intensive applications
across networks of computers.  This symposium follows three successful
earlier conferences held in Syracuse, NY, Spokane, WA, San Francisco, CA
in 1992, 1993, and 1994, respectively.


ADDENDUM:

If you are planning on attending and would like to demonstrate your
software please send a one or two paragraph description of your 
demonstration to hpdc95@cs.virginia.edu.

Unless you state otherwise I will assume that your needs are
satisfied by an X-window interface and access to the internet.

Available equipment: 

 An ATM LAN based upon a FORE SYSTEMS ASX-200 ATM switch with
 12 multimode fiber OC-3 interface ports.

 An ethernet (coax based) LAN terminated on a Router (model to be
 determined).

 A Sun Sparc_10  providing routing between the ATM LAN and the ethernet
 LAN

 A Sprint_Link T1 rate connection to the Internet.

 A DS-3 ATM link to the NYNet Wide Area ATM Network.

 A couple of extra Sparc Stations with ATM interfaces that can be
 shared if necessary.

 Two or more PC's running X-windows, connected to the internet, for
 running demonstrations.
