CALL FOR PAPERS     (I-SPAN '96)
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES, ALGORITHMS, AND NETWORKS
		  June 12-14, 1996, Beijing, China

SCOPE OF SYMPOSIUM:

The International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms, and Networks
(I-SPAN) is a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the
world to exchange ideas and research results related to the design, use,
analysis and, application of parallel architectures, algorithms, and networks.
The second symposium will be held on June 12-14, 1996 in Beijing, China. The 
first such symposium was held in Kanazawa, Japan on December 14-16, 1994.

I-SPAN '96 will include keynote addresses, invited/contributed papers, and 
presentations by designers of current on-going projects on high performance 
computing and communication systems. Papers presenting original and 
fundamental contributions in parallel architectures, algorithms, and networks 
are sought. Papers relating to high performance systems, computing, and 
communications are of particular interest. Topics of interest include (but are 
not limited to) the following:

(1)   Parallel Architectures		(7)   Fault Tolerance Issues 
                                                   and Systems
(2)   Parallel Algorithms		(8)   Optical Interconnections
                                                   and Computing
(3)   Interconnection Networks		(9)   Telecommunication Network
                                                   Design and Optimization
(4)   VLSI Network Design		(10)  ATM Architecture and 
                                                   Network Protocols
(5)   Network Routing and		(11)  Wireless and Mobile 
        Communication Algorithms                   Interconnection and Networks
(6)   Mapping and Scheduling		(12) Massively Parallel Processing 
        Parallel Compution                         Systems
