This united symposium, now referred to as IPPS/SPDP, will follow the format of previous meetings. It continues to serve as a forum for engineers and scientists from around the world to present their latest research findings in the fields of parallel processing and distributed computing. In this second year of conducting a joint program, IPPS/SPDP moves toward achieving an agenda responsive to the combined constituencies of two well-established events. Sponsored by the TCPP and held in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH as well as the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committees on Computer Architecture & Distributed Processing, IPPS/SPDP responds to the many topics generated by the intersection of these areas of interest, as well as established topics in each area. In addition to technical sessions of submitted paper presentations and addresses by invited speakers, the expanded agenda of IPPS/SPDP'99 will be explored via panels, workshops, tutorials, an industrial track, and commercial exhibits.

INDUSTRIAL TRACK/COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS The Industrial Track consists of original technical papers from participating companies. Topics may include descriptions, comparisons, or evaluations of the design, implementation, or performance of an existing commercial system. Commercial Exhibits allow vendors to display their products in an informal walk-up-and-talk setting. The closing date for companies wishing to participate is October 30, 1998. For details and to make sure your company is on the symposium mailing list, contact: John K.

IPPS/SPDP'99 will be held at the Caribe Hilton, a five-star beachfront hotel available to us at a moderate rate. It is located next to Old San Juan, an area of the city which reflects nearly 500 years of history in its restored Spanish colonial architecture. The island is 100 by 35 miles in size, and exploration of the interior reveals the lush vegetation and wildlife of rain forests and mangroves as well as caves and lagoons. Many airlines offering low fares have direct service to Puerto Rico, making it the most accessible island in the West Indies. Once there, when not participating in the symposium, there are opportunities for locally organized day trips to nearby islands and, of course, every form of watersport including sailing, scuba, and snorkeling. Nightlife offers a full menu of cosmopolitan dining and music, as well as "Vegas in the tropics" which describes the San Juan hotel strip featuring spectacular show revues and casinos. Indeed, the 1999 setting has something for everyone! DEADLINES IPSP/SPDP 1999 - IMPORTANT DATES 26 September 1998 ..... Manuscripts Due 14 December 1998 ......
