                      CALL FOR PAPERS

    Midwest Workshop on Parallel Processing (MWPP 1999)

        August 11-13, 1999 at Kent State University

              http://min.ecn.purdue.edu/~mwpp/

Sponsored  by  the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee
on Parallel Processing (IEEE CS TCPP) -- sponsorship pending

In  Cooperation  With  the  ACM  Special  Interest  Group on
Computer Architecture (ACM SIGARCH) -- sponsorship pending

With support from Kent State University


The first Midwest  Workshop  on  Parallel  Processing  (MWPP
1999),  will  be  held  August 11-13, 1999 at the Kent State
University in Kent, OH.  Unlike most conferences, MWPP  1999
centers  on  bringing  together  the  best  researchers in a
scholarly environment that  emphasizes  interaction  between
attendees and is very friendly and accessible to people just
beginning in the field.  Paper quality will be kept high  by
peer  and  program  committee  review,  but  the schedule is
designed to maximize time for making personal contacts,  and
the  location is selected to minimize the effort and cost in
attending.

SUBMISSIONS OF REGULAR PAPERS OR  DISCLOSURE  ABSTRACTS  ARE
DUE APRIL 18, 1999.

WHAT  TOPICS  ARE  APPROPRIATE  FOR MWPP 1999?  The workshop
covers any aspect of the use of parallelism to  speed-up  an
algorithm   or  computation,  provide  fault  tolerance,  or
model/interact with real-time events.  This  includes  broad
classes  of  research in languages/libraries, compilers, OS,
architectures, hardware implementations, algorithms,  models
and  analysis, and various applications.  Use of distributed
or clustered systems for parallel  processing  (e.g.,  Linux
"Beowulfs")  is also very appropriate, but MWPP is not about
the Internet, LANs, or wireless communication per se.

IS A MWPP 1999 PAPER A "JOURNAL QUALITY"  PUBLICATION?   The
proceedings   will  be  published  as  both  electronic  and
hardcopy documents.  If a MWPP submission is accepted  as  a
"regular"  paper,  then  it  becomes an archival full-length
publication with implied quality comparable  to  that  of  a
journal  article.  Work which is less mature may be accepted
as  a  "disclosure,"  meaning  that  it  is   suitable   for
presentation  and discussion at the workshop, but only a 1-2
page abstract  will  appear  in  the  proceedings.   Authors
specify  the  type of publication for which their submission
should be considered:  regular, disclosure, or either.
