                             ADVANCE PROGRAM
========================================================================

The Second International Conference on Massively Parallel Processing
Architectures using Optical Interconnections (MPPOI '95) is a continuation to 
a very successful first meeting held last year in Cancun, Mexico. This year we 
have an exciting program featuring eight invited talks from research and
industrial leaders in the fields of parallel computer systems, optical 
interconnections and technology, parallel applications and interconnection 
networks. We also have two panels with the participation of technological and 
academic experts, representing the current thoughts and trends of the field. 
And last, but not least, there are 34 regular papers accepted for presentation 
from authors all over the world. This rich and diverse program is sure to be 
most interesting and stimulate discussions and interactions among the 
researchers of this interdisciplinary field. The organizers of MPPOI 
strongly feel that massively parallel processing needs optical interconnections 
and optical interconnections need parallel processing. The Conference's focus 
is the possible use of optical interconnections for massively parallel 
processing systems, and their effect on system and algorithm design. Optics 
offers many benefits for interconnecting large numbers of processing elements, 
but may require us to rethink how we build parallel computer systems and 
communication networks, and how we write applications.  Fully exploring the 
capabilities of optical interconnection networks requires an interdisciplinary 
effort. It is critical that researchers from all related research areas are 
aware of each other's work and results. The intent of MPPOI is to assemble the 
leading researchers and to build towards a synergetic approach to MPP 
architectures, optical interconnections, operating systems, and software 
development.

                               LOCATION
*********************************************************************

SAN ANTONIO
American humorist and homespun philosopher Will Rogers once described San
Antonio as ``One of America's four unique cities". He had a natural instinct
for getting to the very essence of a subject, and his comment about San Antonio
is no exception. San Antonio truly is unique. From its founding in 1691 by
Spanish missionaries, San Antonio has grown from a sleepy little Texas pueblo
to the 9th largest city in the United States. Along the way it has been the
birthplace of the Texas revolution with the Battle of the Alamo in 1836.  It is
the new home of bioscience and hi-tech industry now. In all, over half a dozen
cultures, from Spanish and German to Lebanese and Greek, have impacted the
growth of San Antonio. And their influence is still evident in the architecture,
festivals, cuisine and customs which all contribute to the uniqueness and charm
of the city.

THE ALAMO
An old mission-fort, the Alamo, in San Antonio, has been called the "cradle of
Texas liberty." Its gallant defense and the horrible massacre of the more than
180 men who fought there inspired the cry, "Remember the Alamo!" Texas soldiers
shouted this at the battle of San Jacinto, which brought independence to Texas.

THE MENGER HOTEL
MPPOI '95 will be held in San Antonio's Menger Hotel, a historic landmark hotel.
It is next door to the Alamo, adjacent to Rivercenter Mall, the IMAX Theater and
River Walk and two blocks to the convention center. The hotel fronts Alamo Plaza
where the Sea World shuttle and sightseeing tours depart.

SPDP'95
For those that are interested in attending the SPDP'95: info. is available at
the following www cite: http://rabbit.cs.utsa.edu/Welcome.html. You must
register to SPDP'95 conference if you wish to attend it. The advance program

Prof. Xiaodong Zhang, email: zhang@runner.utsa.edu , Phone: (210) 691-5541,
FAX: (210) 691-4437.

AIR TRANSPORTATION
United Airlines is the official airline of MPPOI '95. United will provide attendees 
round trip transportation to San Antonio on United, United Express or Shuttle by 
United scheduled service in the United States and Canada at fares of either 5% 
discount off any United, United Express or Shuttle by United published fares, 
including First Class, in effect when the tickets are purchased subject to all
applicable restrictions, or a 10% discount off applicable BUA, or like, fares 
in effect when tickets are purchased 7 days in advance. Reservations and schedule 
information may be obtained by calling the United Meetings desk at 1-800-521-4041 
and referencing Meeting ID Code 599XM.



ACCOMMODATION
The special MPPOI '95 Menger Hotel rate is US $90 for single or double.  Please
see the enclosed information for making your reservation directly with the hotel.

REGISTRATION
Please register to the conference using the attached form DIRECTLY with IEEE. 
TO HELP WITH THE PLANNING OF THE CONFERENCE PLEASE ALSO SEND email or fax, 
indicating the name(s) of people that register with IEEE and will attend 
(email: mppoi@research.nj.nec.com fax: +USA-609-951-2482 Att. Dr. Eugen Schenfeld).

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION
Star Shuttle provides van service from San Antonio International airport to the
Menger hotel for $6.00 per person each way. For more information and
reservations call +USA-(210)366-3183. Other transportation is available at the
airport, incl. taxi and busses.

CUSTOMS/PASSPORTS
It is suggested for those of other than US nationalities to check with a travel
agent and with an US consulate the requirements for VISA and passports to enter
the United States, as well as for US Customs regulations.

WEATHER & TIME
San Antonio's weather in late october ranges from low 60's to 70's Fahrenheit.
Climate is dry and perfect for sightseeing the many attractions the city and
surroundings have to offer.

JOIN US!
MPPOI'95 is in an ideal location to bring along family.  Your traveling
companions will be well entertained while you are participating in the
conference events.  For those that plan to spend the weekend before the
conference in San Antonio, we suggest to consult with a travel agent and with
the hotel for information on sightseeing and other local activities.  Please
note that the hotel rate is valid for the nights of Oct. 22-24. If you
wish to stay over a Sat. night (Oct. 21st), the hotel will try its best
to accommodate you with the same rate. Once you make a reservation,
please make sure to ask for the night of Oct. 21st. If not available,
you will be placed on a waiting lists. Chances are you may get it, but
currently it is not possible to confirm this.

                     MPPOI'95 HOTEL RESERVATION
                          The Menger Hotel
                         San Antonio, Texas
______________________________________________________________________

   PLEASE MAKE RESERVATIONS WITH THE MENGER HOTEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO 
   GUARANTEE THE $90 RATE (HOTEL PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS ARE GIVEN AT BELLOW). 

 * The special MPPOI'95 group rate of US $90.00 (single or double) is available 
   from October 22 through October 25, 1995. All rates are subject to additional
   local and state taxes.  These rates will be available for reservations made 
   BEFORE September 22, 1995. Please note that the period Sep. to Nov. is the 
   high session in San Antonio and hotels are usually booked in advance. We 
   urge you to make early reservations as soon as possible.
   If you wish to stay over a Sat. night (Oct. 21st), the hotel will TRY its 
   best to accommodate you with the same rate. 

 * The MENGER HOTEL CONTACT POINTS: Phone: 1-800-345-9285 (for USA, or Canada)
   Phone: +USA-210-223-4361 (other countries);  Fax:  +USA-210-228-0022   

 * ALTERNATIVE LIST OF HOTELS (RATES AND RANK from AAA Tour Book): 

   IN CASE THE MENGER HOTEL IS FULL, here is a list of other nearby hotels (all 
   within walking distance of the Menger, in the downtown area of San Antonio). 
   These hotels have no arrangement with MPPOI and therefore you should not 
   identify yourself as a member of a group or conference. The arrangement with 
   these hotels is on a "one to one" basis, as with any other business traveler. 
   An early reservation is suggested. Also, it is always a good idea to look for 
   "specials" (i.e., advance paid rates, weekend specials, AAA rates, etc.). Also 
   please note that from the USA you may call the 800 directory (1-800-555-1212) 
   and ask for the 800 number of the hotel chain (such hotels are marked with a 
   '#' mark bellow), rates and ranking taken from AAA Tour Book 1994:
