* Scope of Symposium
  
  The 1994 International Symposium on Parallel Architectures,
  Algorithms and Networks (ISPAN'94) is a forum for scientists,
  engineers and researchers throughout the world to exchange
  ideas and research results related to current developments
  and applications of parallel architectures, algorithms,
  and networks.

  The symposium will include keynote addresses and invited/
  contributed papers. Several scholarships will be awarded to
  young researchers to attend and present papers at the 
  Symposium. Topics of interest include (but not limited to)
  the following:

      1. Parallel Architectures
      2. Parallel Algorithms
      3. Hardware Algorithms
      4. VLSI Network Design
      5. Interconnection Networks
      6. Mapping and Scheduling Parallel Computation
      7. Fault Tolerance
      8. Network Embedding and Reliability
      9. Parallel Communications
     10. Massively Parallel Processing Systems

  The ISPAN'94 will be held at Ishikawa High-Tech Conference 
  Center on the campus of the Japan Institute of Science and 
  Technology (JAIST) on December 14-16, 1994. JAIST is the 
  first national graduate school for the advancement of the
  frontiers of science and technology, and is located on the
  mountain hills in the town of Tatsunokuchi about 10 miles
  to the south of downtown KANAZAWA city. Kanazawa hosts
  numerous cultural events around the year. As one of the few
  well-preserved historical cities, it is often regarded as 
  the hidden gem of Japan.
