             SECOND WORKSHOP ON RANDOMIZED PARALLEL COMPUTING
            __________________________________________________

                 sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
                           Technical Committee
                          on Parallel Processing


	Randomization has played a vital role in the domains of both
	sequential and parallel computing in the past two decades.
	This workshop is a forum for bringing together both theoreticians
	and practitioners who employ randomized techniques in parallel
	computing. Topics include but are not limted to:

		.Network Algorithms	
		.PRAM Algorithms
		.Architectures
		.I/O Systems
		.Scheduling
		.Network Fault Tolerance
		.Reconfigurable Networks
		.Optical Networks
		.Various Applications
		.Programming models and languages
		.Implementation Experience

	Papers of an experimental nature (describing implementation results)
	are especially sought. Authors are invited to submit previously
	unpublished original papers (that will not be submitted elsewhere)
	reflecting their current research results. All submitted papers will
	be refereed for quality and originality. Accepted papers will be
	published in the workshop proceedings.

	Authors are requested to submit six copies of the manuscripts
	to S. Rajasekaran, Dept. of CISE, 301 CSE Building, Univ. of
	Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA, by December 1. Late submissions
	run the risk of rejection without consideration of merits. Each
	manuscript should be of length no more than 12 double-spaced
	single sided pages using 12 point type.

	The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International
	Parallel Processing Symposium to be held from April 1 through 5,
	1997 at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Visitors to Geneva
	will be treated to the towering Jet d'Eau water plume, lakeside
	gardens featuring the celebrated flower clock, and a clear view of
	the Alps which surround Geneva. Whatever your vantage point, Geneva
	is a truly international city, serving as the historical crossroads
	of civilizations and as a hub for air and ground transportation
	in Europe. For more information on IPPS 97, check the Web
