                       Call for Papers
               Fourth ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on
       Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming
            San Diego, California, May 19-21, 1993

===============================================================
    A Constituent Meeting of FCRC 1993 Inaugural Conference
===============================================================

The goal of this Symposium is to promote the exchange of ideas
and experience in parallel programming with emphasis on
methodologies, tools, foundations, and scalability to large
degrees of parallelism.  We are soliciting submissions that: (1)
center on experiments and comparative evaluation of parallel
software, (2) report on new ideas in languages, compilers, and
environments for parallel programming, or (3) summarize
experience with parallel programming in a way that illustrates
general principles.

Topics of interest include:

  compilers, restructuring compilers, and parallel-program
  manipulation systems for parallel architectures;

  parallel language design and implementation;

  tools, environments, debuggers, performance monitors, load
  balancing and operating system support;

  experience with programming or porting applications to
  parallel architectures;

  performance aspects of parallel programming systems; and

  the relationship between parallel programming languages,
  compilers, and machine architectures;


Papers reporting on experience should indicate how the
experiments illustrate general principles; papers oriented
towards foundations should indicate how the work illuminates or
influences practice.  Papers containing results derived from
actual implementation on parallel machines and papers containing
results applicable to highly parallel machines will be
especially welcomed.


Authors should submit 13 copies (preferably double-sided) of a
technical summary of a prospective paper to the program chair.
The submission should include an abstract, and be at most 5000
words long (this is equivalent to 10 pages set in 10-point type
on 16 point spacing).  Longer summaries may be rejected
summarily by the Program Chair.  Papers awaiting acceptance by
any other conference are ineligible for PPoPP '93; if a similar
paper has been submitted elsewhere, the authors must notify the
program chair.

The summary must be organized so that it is easily understood.
It should clearly identify what has been accomplished, why it is
significant, and how it compares with prior work.  Papers will
be judged on clarity, significance, relevance, correctness, and
originality.  Papers should contain enough background material
to make them accessible to the entire parallel programming
research community.

Submissions must be received by  October 9, 1992, and
should include a return mailing address and if possible, an
electronic address.  Authors will be notified of acceptance or
rejection by December 14.  Final versions of accepted
papers must be received in camera-ready form by February
1.  Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign a
copyright release form.  Proceedings will be distributed at the
conference and as a special issue of SIGPLAN Notices; they will
be subsequently available from ACM.  All papers published in the
proceedings are eligible for publication in refereed ACM
journals at the discretion of the editor.

Tutorials will precede the conference on May 18.  The advance program
will announce the tutorial topics.
