      The 1994 Transputer Research And Applications Conference
      ========================================================
                        Oct. 23 - Oct. 25, 1994
                       The University of Georgia
                         Athens, Georgia, USA

    The University of Georgia is pleased to host the 1994 Transputer
Research and Applications Conference (7th in the series), held this
year in Georgia from October 23 through October 25, 1994.  The conference
is sponsored by the North American Transputer Users Group (NATUG).

    The conference papers report on a wide variety of multicomputer
applications, systems and architectures.  The conference brings together
researchers from diverse areas with a common interest in message passing
multiprocessors.  Since over half of the accepted papers are from outside
the United States, the conference has a good international flavor.

   Appended to this email you will find the conference schedule.
For registration material and other information contact:
                       Mr. Allen Henderson
