SCOPE
The conference, now in its seventh meeting, has been a major forum for the
presentation and exchange of new research results in all areas of parallel
and distributed computing among the international parallel processing
community.  The 1994 conference attracted researchers from over 20 countries.
The planned 1995 meeting will feature invited speakers, contributed papers,
tutorials, workshops and commercial exhibits, and will be held on the quaint
campus of the Georgetown University in the heart of the Washington metropolitan
area, which encompasses the world's largest concentration of distributed
processing and networking companies.  The conference location is only
minutes away from some of the most visited tourist attractions in the USA:
the Washington monument, the Capitol, the Smithsonian and several other
museums.
Authors are invited to submit papers on original, unpublished research in
all areas of parallel and distributed computing and systems.  Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
        Architecture                    Processor and memory architectures
        Algorithms                      I/O in parallel and distributed systems
        Software                        Fault tolerance
        Resource allocation             Distributed database
        Load partitioning and balancing Network communication
        Scheduling                      High performance computing
        Modelling                       Neural networks
        Evaluation                      VLSI
        Optimization                    Application of parallel & distributed
        Numerical methods                 computing in:
        Scientific computing                Signal processing
        Parallelizing compilers             Image processing
        Programming languages               Multimedia
        Massively parallel systems          Control
        Heterogeneous computing             Simulation
        Data flow computing                 Robotics
        Operating systems                   Environmental systems
        Real time systems                   Education
        Interconnection networks        Others

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Four copies of the complete manuscript are to be received by the Secretary
prior to APRIL 15, 1995.  Regular and short papers should be limited to
12 and 8 double-spaced pages respectively, using 12 point type.  All papers
will be reviewed for quality and technical merit.  Each paper submitted must
include an abstract, a maximum of five key words - at least two from the list
above - to indicate the subject area of the paper.  Authors will be notified
of the review decisions by JUNE 15, 1995.  Camera-ready papers and
preregistration are due AUGUST 1, 1995.  Selected papers will be considered
for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Mini and
Microcomputers.  Please note that electronic submissions will not be accepted.

WORKSHOPS
Workshops are special groupings of related sessions that offer in-depth
exploration of selected discipline topics.  Individuals and special interest
groups are invited to propose workshop topics and to participate in their
organization and implementation.  Submit a concise proposal for a recommended
workshop to the Conference Chair by APRIL 30, 1995.

TUTORIALS
The conference will feature full and half-day tutorials on current active
topics of specific interest to the parallel processing community.  Proposals
are solicited from interested individuals for organizing and conducting
such tutorials.  The proposals should reach the Conference Chair by May 31,
1995.  Each proposal should include a synopsis of the tutorial topic, intended
audience, description of handout material to be used, and a resume of the
lecturer(s).

INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS
Exhibits of system products of particular interest to the conference attendees
will be organized to allow vendors to display and demonstrate such products
in an informal interactive setting.  Companies wishing to participate
should contact the Conference Chair by MAY 31, 1995.
