============================================================================= Call for participants : Call for participants : Call for participants ============================================================================= WoTUG-18 9th-12th April 1994 Hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University An Invitation The WoTUG-18 programme committee invites all researchers and engineers active in the theory and practice of parallel computing based upon communicating process architectures to attend the 18th Technical Meeting of WoTUG in Manchester. The academic content of the conference focuses on, but is not restricted to, the following areas: * Innovative approaches to problem solving that exploit the nature of parallelism to achieve high performance and highly reliable applications * Methods and tools for the design, implementation, verification, and optimisation of parallel systems * Run-time support environments for parallel machines * Theory of concurrency for communicating process systems * Real-time issues such as fault-tolerance and scheduling * State of the art applications from any field - industrial, commercial scientific, or mathematical. The Location The conference will be hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University at the Manchester Conference Center (MCC). The centre has excellent facilities and is situated in the centre of Manchester and is easily accessible by road and rail. 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, the U.K.'s second city, is a lively and exciting place with much to see and do. Also Manchester is served by an international airport, and has excellent road and rail links. For further information on Manchester see the HyperGuide (http://info.mcc.ac.uk/Geology/HyperGuide/HyperGuide.html) to Manchester. The Program The conference will comprise a number of different activities, including: * An Invited speaker to talk about the development of the innovative new processor, the T450 * Single-stream presentation of refereed papers. Participants at the meeting will receive a copy of the published proceedings; * Special Interest Groups, including: Transputer hardware, occam3, education, artificial intelligence, graphics and image processing, parallel environments, numerical methods, real-time and safety-critical systems; * An industrial session reporting occam and Transputer experiences from industry * An exhibition of Transputer based equipment, software, and literature; * A panel session, discussing technical, political, and economic questions raised by participants The conference has a strong tradition of academic discussion, balanced by a warm and enjoyable social aspect. A full program is available at the end of this call along with a list of accepted papers.
