Organized by:               
Gesellschaft zur Foerderung angewandter Informatik e.V., Berlin


In Cooperation with:
Fachhochschule fuer Technik und Wirtschaft Fachbereich 3, Berlin
Gesellschaft fuer Informatik e.V. Bonn
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The PARCELLA series is a traditional forum for discussing models of
parallel computation with existing and future parallel processing
technologies in both hardware and software. It forms an excellent
basis for exchanging ideas and initializing steps forward into a
future broad scoped East-West cooperation in a unified Europe.
The PARCELLA conference series started in 1982.
PARCELLA has been an important bridge at a time when cooperation
between scientists from West and East was considerably impeded by
political confrontation between different systems. Those barriers
have vanished, but other emerged. The results of the PARCELLA 96
will contribute to special European efforts  in advanced HPCN
technologies.
PARCELLA will be open for dialogue with industrial representatives
to discuss the problems of academic/industrial cooperation.


Events

* PARCELLA '96 will be a single session conference.
* TUTORIALS in Optical Computing and Parallelization techniques on
  hetero  geneous clusters will be offered.
* A combined POSTER and VENDOR SESSION will be arranged for
  prototypes and  products in the field of parallel machines and
 large size scientific projects.
* A FORUM International cooperation in HPCN: Approaches, experience,
  promotion and funding will complement the Conference Sessions.


Call for Papers 

Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new results of
current  research and development activities. Each submission is
expected to categorize the approaches taken, the results, as well as
a description of possible application areas. 
Full papers (12 pages) with 4 copies each are to be submitted to the
organization chair. All submissions are to be accompanied by a
separate coverpaper containing the list of names of all authors,
their addresses, the title and an abstract of 12-15 lines. 


Call for Project Presentations 

Representatives of large-scale and joint projects are invited to
submit papers presenting a summary of the objectives and results of
the entire project. Extended abstracts of the intended contributions
(5 pages) with 4 copies each are to be submitted to the organization
chair. All submissions are to be accompanied by a separate cover
page containing the list of names of all authors, their addresses
and the person responsible for the submission. 
 

Topics of interest:

1. Models of parallel computation: 
   Cellular automata and homogeneous structures, neural networks,
   systolic arrays, synchronous and asynchronous computation,
   recursive and iterative machines, distributed and heterogeneous
   systems, ATM protocols and interconnection networks. 

2. HPCN systems technology: 
   Data driven architectures, portable software platforms, optical
   computing and interconnection networks, networks for parallel
   computers, fault-tolerant computing, neurocomputing and
   connectionism. 

3. Simulation and design in key HPCN industrial and embedded
   applications: 
   Environmental modeling, computational fluid dynamics, molecular
   modeling, seismic processing, reservoir modeling, chemistry,
   biology and medicine, chip simulation, imaging processing and
   modeling, computer vision, automotive systems,  crash analysis
   and EM, signal processing and analyzing, program packages and
   problem solving environments tools for simplification of parallel
   programming and for supporting scientific computations. Mapping
   strategies from and to models. 

4. Parallel languages, compiler technology, parallelizing compiler 
   techniques, load distributing and load balancing, parallel
   debugger tools. 

 
Preparation directives 

The contributions are to be prepared as an ASCII file, preferably
with the macro language LATEX. The corresponding file should also be
submitted on a diskette or via E-mail. 
LATEX and supporting files will be provided as public domain soft-
ware on a WWW-server (at GFaI-Site). 
All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. 

List of deadlines 
Submission of papers and registration forms        December 31, 1995 
Acceptance/Rejection of papers                        April 30, 1996 
Final Program                                          June 15, 1996 


Awards 

The Program Committee will award a prize for the best joint
contribution of scientists from the East and West. Cultural and
social events are under preparation.
