Organised by LIACC/LLDAP/COPPE ILPS97. One of the main areas of research in logic programming is the design and implementation of sequential and parallel (constraint) logic programming systems. This research goes broadly from the design and specification of novel implementation technology to its actual evaluation in real life situations. In the continuation of the series of workshops on Implementations of Logic Programming Systems, previously held in Budapest (1993), Ithaca (1994), Portland (1995), and Bonn (1996), the ILPS'97 workshop Parallelism and Implementation Technology for (Constraint) Logic Programming Languages will provide a forum for ongoing research on the design and implementation of sequential and parallel logic programming systems. Topics: Logic Programming; Parallelism; Constraint Programming and Implementation technology.

Dicarie, bureau 400, and Montrial (Quibec), H3X 2H9, Canada; FAX: 1 (514) 369 3880 MSG is a MPI-based library intended to simplify coding of data exchange within the FORTRAN 77 codes performing data transfers on distributed Cartesian grids. The main goal of the library is to conceal the explicit send/receive operations and provide means to place the boundary data into local arrays. The MSG tools can be employed by finite-difference, finite-volume, or finite-element codes which use Cartesian (tensor-product) grids. /parallel/vendors Added links for Embedded Solutions Ltd. == OLD 1st May 1997 -- Articles to parallel@ctc.com (Administrative: bigrigg@ctc.com) Archive: http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/internet/usenet/comp.parallel
