                            WORKING CONFERENCE ON
                         PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTS FOR
                    MASSIVELY PARALLEL DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

                             April 25 - 30, 1994
                      Monte Verita, Ascona, Switzerland
                

Massively parallel systems with distributed resources will play a very
important role for the future of high performance computing.  One of
the current obstacles of these systems is their difficult programming.
The proposed conference will bring together active researchers who are
working on ways how to help programmers to exploit the performance
potential of massively parallel systems. The working conference will
consist of sessions for full and short papers, interleaved with poster
and demonstration sessions.

The Conference will be held April 25 - 30, 1994 at the Centro Stefano
Franscini, located in the hills above Ascona at Lago Maggiore, in the
southern part of Switzerland.  It is organized by the Swiss Scientific
Computing Center CSCS ETH Zurich. The conference is the forthcoming
event of the working group WG 10.3 of the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) on Programming Environments for Parallel
Computing.  The conference succeeds the 1992 Edinburgh conference on
Programming Environments for Parallel Computing.


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Submission of papers is invited in the following areas:

        -- Programming models for parallel distributed computing
        -- Computational models for parallel distributed computing
        -- Program transformation tools
        -- Concepts and tools for the design of parallel distributed
           algorithms
        -- Reusability in parallel distributed programming
        -- Concepts and tools for debugging massively parallel
           systems (100+ processing nodes)
        -- Concepts and tools for performance monitoring of massively
           parallel systems (100+ processing nodes)
        -- Tools for application development on massively parallel
           systems
        -- Support for computational scientists: what do they really need ?
        -- Application libraries (e.g., BLAS, etc.) for parallel distributed
           systems: what do they really offer ?
        -- Problem solving environments for parallel distributed programming


Authors are invited to submit complete, original, papers reflecting
their current research results. All submitted papers will be refereed
for quality and originality. The program committee reserves the right
to accept a submission as a long, short, or poster presentation paper.

Manuscripts should be double spaced, should include an abstract, and
should be limited to 5000 words (20 double spaced pages); The contact
authors are requested to list e-mail addresses if available.  Fax or
electronic submissions will not be considered.

Please submit 5 copies of the complete paper to the following address:

MONTE VERITA, ASCONA, SWITZERLAND

Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verita, located in the scenic hills
above Ascona, with a beautiful view on Lago Maggiore, has excellent
conference and housing facilities for about sixty participants.  Monte
Verita enjoys a sub-alpine/mediterranean climate with mean temperatures
between 15 and 18 C in April.

The closest airport to Centro Stefano Franscini is Lugano-Agno which is
connected to Zurich, Geneva and Basle and many other cities in Europe
by air. Centro Stefano Franscini can also be reached conveniently by
train from any of the three major airports in Switzerland to Locarno by
a few hours scenic trans-alpine train ride. It can also be reached from
Milano in less than three hours.
