PROGRAM COMMITEE:
  Ian Foster, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, USA, Chair
  Gul Agha, U. of Illinois, Urbana, USA, Vice-Chair
  Ron Perrott, Queen's Univ., Belfast, UK, Vice-Chair
  Luc Bouge', LIP, ENS Lyon, France, Local Chair

DEADLINE: February 4, 1996 (paper); February 18, 1996 (electronic)

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This workshop provides a forum for discussion of the latest research
in the practice and theory of parallel and distributed programming,
and the computer languages and tools that support programming
activities. We are particularly interested in papers that address the
implications for programming and languages of the convergence of
distributed and shared-memory architectures, and the emergence of fast
networks that blur the distinctions between parallel and distributed
computing. We also encourage discussion of the integration,
intercomparison, or evaluation of diverse programming models (task,
data, object, agent parallelism, etc.). Other topics of interest
include compilers and runtime systems, application-specific languages,
agent languages, parallel programming methodology, verification of
parallel programs from formal semantics, and computer-aided derivation
of parallel programs from specifications.

TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE:
Parallel & agent languages                         Heterogeneous systems 
Application-specific languages                   Programming methodology 
Programming models                                   Formal verification 
Runtime systems & compilers                    Computer-aided derivation 

MEETING OVERVIEW:
Euro-Par is the annual European conference in Parallel Processing.  It
merges the former PARLE and CONPAR-VAPP conferences, two major events
of the field.  The 1996 version will consist of a large panel of
highly focused workshops on all aspects of parallel processing, from
theory to practice, from academy to industry. They are expected to
present the latest advances in their respective domains.  They will be
introduced by several high level tutorials of general interest.  More
than 20 workshops have been launched in parallel, ranging from 1/2 to
2 days. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published
by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Further information on Euro-Par is available at URL
http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/europar96. It includes the list of all
workshops. Please send all information requests and comments to
europar96@lip.ens-lyon.fr.  Register today on the Euro-Par'96 mailing
list by sending us a mail!  See below for additional information.

SUBMISSION CONSTRAINTS:
Submissions are expected to be no longer than 15 pages.  The cover
page must clearly indicate the name, address, affiliation, phone and
fax numbers and electronic address of the author(s), plus a 100-word
abstract.  The workshop number (#5) and the workshop title (Parallel
Languages and Programming) must also be clearly indicated on the cover
page.  The official language of the conference is English.  Submitted
papers must not be simultaneously under review for any other
conference, and authors must point out any substantial overlap with
their previously published work.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS:
Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged.  They are mandatory
for all people having access to standard electronic facilities.  They
should consist of two e-mails: the first containing an ASCII cover
page, giving the author's full name, address, telephone number, fax
number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract and keywords; and the
second containing the printable file, most preferably in attachment.

Accepted formats are uuencoded and compressed EPS PostScript files
(most preferably generated by dvips).  Important!  We cannot
accommodate other file formats.  If at all possible, please attempt to
print the document on more than one brand/model of laser printers.  If
your program requests it, assume that the document will be printed on
a 300 DPI standard PostScript Unix Sun laser printer.  We will do our
best to get all files printed.  If a file cannot be printed in spite
of all our efforts, we will have to reject the electronic submission.
In case of doubt, send us a (possibly preliminary) paper version of
the submission before the February 4, 1996 paper deadline (one copy is
enough in this case). We will consider that the electronic version of
the submission, if printable, is the final one.

ADDRESSES:
The files should be mailed to europar96@lip.ens-lyon.fr and received
at this address before February 18, 1996, 12:00 GMT.  Please note that
this is a firm deadline.

Paper submissions are only allowed for people without easy access to
standard electronic facilities.  Authors should send 6 copies of their
submission to the official address below, postmarked before February
4, 1996.  Please note this is a firm deadline.
