                      World Transputer Congress '94
                     Como, Italy, 5 7 September 1994

The  aim  of  the  workshop is to provide a forum  for  the  exchange  of
information  on current approaches to the construction and employment  of
CASE  tools  to support the development of parallel software systems.  At
the  "Software Engineering for Parallel Systems" workshop held last  year
at WTC '93, the subject of CASE environments emerged as an important area
of  active research. CASE environments are being developed which  include
support for parallel software development methodologies, code generation,
automated  verification of software and performance evaluation. We  should
like  to  encourage  those involved in the design and  implementation  of
these  systems  to  share  their experiences in an  informal  interactive
workshop.  To this end the workshop will aim to cover the following  non-
exhaustive list of topics:
- practical  experiences  of  developing  CASE  tools  specifically   for
  parallel systems
- adaptation of existing CASE tools for parallel software development
- use of metaCASE tools
- design repositories of CASE tools
- interoperability of tools
- use of CASE tools in industry

The  workshop  will  be  of interest to practitioners,  researchers,  and
teachers  who  have experience of developing software tools for  parallel
processing  systems.  It  will also be relevant  to  practising  software
engineers  who  are interested in developing expertise in  the  field  of
general  parallel computation, and for those researchers who  may  become
involved  in the area of parallel software development methodologies  and
tools. The workshop programme will include short presentations of current
research  work,  demonstrations of CASE tools  as  well  as  topic  based
discussions sessions.

Participants  will  be  encouraged to contribute  at  all  stages.  Short
papers/extended  abstracts  can be submitted  in  advance,  and  will  be
available  to all participants as workshop proceedings. In line with last 
year's workshop, it is hope to arrange subsequent journal publication of 
selected papers.

Papers/abstracts to be submitted to Innes Jelly before 15 July  1994.  
We also welcome demonstrations of CASE tools: if you are interested in 
setting up a demonstration, please contact Ian Gorton.

Notes for Contributors
If  you  would like to contribute, please let us know. It would  help  us
with  the planning if you let us know of your intention to contribute  as
soon as possible and your particular area of interest. We shall keep  you
informed of the details as they become available.
Short papers/extended abstracts are invited. Please submit these before 15 
July  1994 if possible. These will be bound and available to participants
as Workshop Proceedings, so they should be submitted in final form.
