 			   Call for Papers


	 Seventh International Parallel Processing Symposium
			April 13-16, 1993
    Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Tennis Club, Newport Beach, CA


		   Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society
		    In Co-operation with: ACM SIGARCH


The 7th International Parallel Processing Symposium is a forum for
engineers and scientists around the world to present the latest
research findings in all aspects of parallel and distributed
processing.  IPPS 1993 will consist of technical sessions of submitted
paper presentations, tutorials, and commercial exhibits, as well as
special interest workshops and an all day parallel systems fair.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts which demonstrate original
unpublished research in all areas of parallel processing including
development of experimental or commercial systems.  Topics of interest
include but are not limited to:


-Parallel Architectures               -Interconnection Networks
-Parallel & Distributed Algorithms    -Signal & Image Processing Systems
-Performance Modeling & Evaluation    -Fault Tolerance  
-Programming Environments	      -Parallel Languages 
-Special Purpose Processors 	      -Parallelizing Compilers
-Neural Networks		      -VLSI Systems


Send five copies of complete manuscript (not to exceed 15 single
spaced pages) to the Program Chair.  Please include your e-mail
address and telephone and fax numbers.  All Manuscripts will be
reviewed.  Manuscripts must be received by September 30, 1992.  Due to
the anticipated response, manuscripts postmarked later than September
30, 1992 risk rejection.  Notification of review decisions will be
mailed by December 31, 1992.  Camera ready papers are due January 29,
1993.  Proceedings will be available at the symposium.



WORKSHOPS:

Workshops are planned for the first day of the symposium.  Individuals
and/or special interest groups are encouraged to submit proposals
which cover a particular topic in the field.  Send a one page proposal
to the Program Chair by September 30, 1992.
