This year we have an exciting program featuring eight invited talks from research and industrial leaders in the fields of parallel computer systems, optical interconnections and technology, parallel applications and interconnection networks. We also have two panels with the participation of technological and academic experts, representing the current thoughts and trends of the field. And last, but not least, there are 34 regular papers accepted for presentation from authors all over the world. This rich and diverse program is sure to be most interesting and stimulate discussions and interactions among the researchers of this interdisciplinary field. The organizers of MPPOI strongly feel that massively parallel processing needs optical interconnections and optical interconnections need parallel processing. The Conference's focus is the possible use of optical interconnections for massively parallel processing systems, and their effect on system and algorithm design. Optics offers many benefits for interconnecting large numbers of processing elements, but may require us to rethink how we build parallel computer systems and communication networks, and how we write applications. Fully exploring the capabilities of optical interconnection networks requires an interdisciplinary effort. It is critical that researchers from all related research areas are aware of each other's work and results. The intent of MPPOI is to assemble the leading researchers and to build towards a synergetic approach to MPP architectures, optical interconnections, operating systems, and software development. \end{verbatim} \newpage \begin{verbatim} ********************************************************************* LOCATION ********************************************************************* SAN ANTONIO American humorist and homespun philosopher Will Rogers once described San Antonio as ``One of America's four unique cities". He had a natural instinct for getting to the very essence of a subject, and his comment about San Antonio is no exception. San Antonio truly is unique. From its founding in 1691 by Spanish missionaries, San Antonio has grown from a sleepy little Texas pueblo to the 9th largest city in the United States. Along the way it has been the birthplace of the Texas revolution with the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. It is the new home of bioscience and hi-tech industry now. In all, over half a dozen cultures, from Spanish and German to Lebanese and Greek, have impacted the growth of San Antonio. And their influence is still evident in the architecture, festivals, cuisine and customs which all contribute to the uniqueness and charm of the city. THE ALAMO An old mission-fort, the Alamo, in San Antonio, has been called the "cradle of Texas liberty." Its gallant defense and the horrible massacre of the more than 180 men who fought there inspired the cry, "Remember the Alamo!" Texas soldiers shouted this at the battle of San Jacinto, which brought independence to Texas. THE MENGER HOTEL MPPOI '95 will be held in San Antonio's Menger Hotel, a historic landmark hotel. It is next door to the Alamo, adjacent to Rivercenter Mall, the IMAX Theater and River Walk and two blocks to the convention center. The hotel fronts Alamo Plaza where the Sea World shuttle and sightseeing tours depart.

All rates are subject to additional local and state taxes. These rates will be available for reservations made BEFORE September 22, 1995. Please note that the period Sep. to Nov. is the high session in San Antonio and hotels are usually booked in advance. We urge you to make early reservations as soon as possible. If you wish to stay over a Sat. night (Oct. 21st), the hotel will TRY its best to accommodate you with the same rate. * The MENGER HOTEL CONTACT POINTS: Phone: 1-800-345-9285 (for USA, or Canada) Phone: +USA-210-223-4361 (other countries); Fax: +USA-210-228-0022 * ALTERNATIVE LIST OF HOTELS (RATES AND RANK from AAA Tour Book): IN CASE THE MENGER HOTEL IS FULL, here is a list of other nearby hotels (all within walking distance of the Menger, in the downtown area of San Antonio). These hotels have no arrangement with MPPOI and therefore you should not identify yourself as a member of a group or conference. The arrangement with these hotels is on a "one to one" basis, as with any other business traveler. An early reservation is suggested. Also, it is always a good idea to look for "specials" (i.e., advance paid rates, weekend specials, AAA rates, etc.). Also please note that from the USA you may call the 800 directory (1-800-555-1212) and ask for the 800 number of the hotel chain (such hotels are marked with a '#' mark bellow), rates and ranking taken from AAA Tour Book 1994: AAA Typical Phone Fax Rank Rate ($) (+USA) (+USA) * St. Anthony Hotel 4 106-130 (210)227-4392 none listed * Emily Morgan 3 85 (210)225-8486 none listed * Crocket Hotel 3 75-105 (210)225-6500 none listed # Hyatt Regency 4 119-170 (210)222-1234 (210)227-4925 * La Mansion del Rio 4 135-220 (210)225-2581 (210)226-1365 # Holiday Inn Riverwalk 3 95-119 (210)224-2500 (210)223-1302 # Hilton Palacio del Rio 4 154-196 (210)222-1400 (210)270-0761 * The Fairmounth Hotel 4 145-275 (210)224-8800 (210)224-2767 # Marriott Riverwalk 4 135-150 (210)224-4555 (210)224-2754 # La Quinta Motor Inn 3 83-90 (210)222-9181 (210)228-9816 # Marriott Rivercenter 4 160 (210)223-1000 (210)223-6239 ________________________________________________________________________________ \end{verbatim} \end{document}
