The CNI/MAT 92 Workshop is intended to present the state of art
in matter of parallel and distributed computing with emphasis on
materials science applications. One of the main goals is to initiate
a wide discussion among materials science researchers, computer
scientists and other researchers involved in intensive numerical
computing. The conference programme is based on five different 
topics with the following content :
                                     

I - Distributed Systems and Parallel Architectures

	-	Parallel Hardware
	-	Distributed Architectures
	-	Programming Environments

II - Parallel and Distributed Applications
(Programming Point of View)

	-	Programming Language
	-	Parallel Algorithms
	-	Implementations Issues


Advances and predictable developments due to parallelism and
distributed computing to the following fields :

III - Interactions and Atomic Systems
(Statistical Physics and Electronic Properties)

	-	Alloys, Phase Stability,
		Ordering-Disordering processes
	-	Phase Transitions
	-	Electronic and Magnetic Properties :
		from small clusters to large systems

IV - Numerical Intensive Simulation and Partial Differential
Equations in Materials Science

	-	Tools
	-	New Algorithms
	-	Applications

V - Super-Computing and Data Analysis

	-	Power Visualization and Image Processing
	-	Signal Processing Methods
	-	Statistical Analysis

The expected audience of this conference is composed of materials
sciencists, researchers in physics or chemistry, computer scientists
and mathematicians. Each of the sessions will begin with a few invited
talks of general interest. These introductory talks will be followed
by participants contributions either by oral communication or in poster
sessions. Communications on topics of the present state of 
art that may benefit from parallelism in future are welcome.
