Hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University

The 18th Technical Meeting of WoTUG

9th - 12th April, 1995

General information

The WoTUG-18 programme committee seeks high-quality submissions from all researchers and engineers active in the theory and practice of parallel computing based upon communicating process architectures. A non-exhaustive list of topics follows:

Innovative approaches to problem solving that exploit the nature of parallelism to achieve high performance and highly reliable applications;
Methods and tools for the design, implementation, verification, and optimisation of parallel systems;
Run-time support environments for parallel machines;
Theory of concurrency for communicating process systems;
Real-time issues such as fault-tolerance and scheduling;
State of the art applications from any field - industrial, commercial scientific, or mathematical.

Instructions to authors

Authors of papers are asked to submit FOUR copies of FULL (or nearly complete) papers, up to 16 pages in length, by the 1st NOVEMBER 1994. Successful candidates will be notified by the middle of December 1994. Camera ready copy will have to be submitted by the 9th January 1995, for inclusion in the proceedings which are published by IOS Press in the Transputer and occam Engineering series.

Conference structure

The conference will be held at Manchester Metropolitan University in the centre of Manchester. Manchester is recognised as a world centre for innovation in computing, with the national computing centre, national super-computing facilities, a regional high-performance computing centre, and the national archive for the history of computing situated in the city. Manchester is served by an international airport, and has excellent road and rail links. The conference will comprise a number of different activities, including:

Single-stream presentation of refereed papers. Participants at the meeting will receive a copy of the published proceedings;
Special Interest Groups, including: transputer hardware, occam3, education, artificial intelligence, graphics and image processing, parallel environments, numerical methods, real-time and safety-critical systems;
A tutorial programme (details to be announced);
An exhibition of transputer based equipment, software, and literature;
A panel session, discussing technical, political, and economic questions raised by participants.
