  abstract= "This paper argues that one of the key techniques for making
     the most efective use of multi-processor architectures is
     the serialisation of parallel code! Parallel algorithms are
     presented as having strong engineering merits that will form
     the natural basis for systems design in the future.
     Parallelisation of serial code is regarded as having only
     short-term value (for \"dusty-decks\", whose
     correctness cannot be verified) as well as being
     mathematically intractable. Serialisation, on the other
     hand, is much easier to automate and can be profitably
     employed today. Several serialising transforms for occam
     processes are presented and applied to various simulation
     and image compression tasks."
