WoTUG-18
		    the World occam and Transputer User Group
			Manchester Metropolitan University
				 2-5 April 1995


The eighteenth Technical Meeting of WoTUG will take place at the
Manchester Metropolitan University, United Kingdom, from 2-5 April
1995.

Call for papers 
===============

The WoTUG-18 programme committee seeks high-quality submissions from all
researchers and engineers active in the theory and practice of parallel
computing based upon communicating process architectures. A
non-exhaustive list of topics follows:

	o Innovative approaches to parallelism to achieve high
	  performance, highly reliable applications, or to solve complex
	  problems;

	o Methods and tools for the design, implementation,
	  verification, and optimisation of parallel systems;

	o Run-time support environments for parallel machines;

	o Theory of concurrency for communicating process systems;

	o Real-time issues such as fault-tolerance and scheduling

	o `State of the art' applications from any field - industrial,
	  commercial, scientific, or mathematical.

Authors of papers are asked to submit FOUR copies of FULL (or nearly
complete) papers, up to 16 pages in length, by the 1st NOVEMBER 1994.
Successful candidates will be notified by the middle of December 1994.
Camera ready copy will have to be submitted by the 9th January 1995,
for inclusion in the proceedings which are published by IOS Press in
the Transputer and occam Engineering series.

Conference structure 
====================

The conference will be hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University in
the centre of Manchester. Manchester is recognised as a world centre
for innovation in computing, with the national computing centre,
national super-computing facilities, a regional high-performance
computing centre, and the national archive for the history of computing
situated in the city. Manchester is served by an international airport,
and has excellent road and rail links.

The conference will comprise a number of different activities,
including:

	o Single-stream presentation of refereed papers. Participants
	at the meeting will receive a copy of the published
	proceedings;

	o Special Interest Groups, including: transputer hardware,
	occam3,education, artificial intelligence, graphics and image
	processing, parallel environments, numerical methods, real-time
	and safety-critical systems;

	o A tutorial programme (details to be announced);

	o An exhibition of transputer based equipment, software, and
	literature;

	o A panel session, discussing technical, political, and
	economic questions raised by participants.
