                -----------------------------------------------
                IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing
                -----------------------------------------------


                    Announcement and Call for Participation
                    ---------------------------------------


       A new Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) has been
     appointed by the IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors at their
     June 1992 meeting. As state-of-the-art parallel computers are being
     developed around the world, there is a strong need for interaction,
     cooperation, and information exchange among scientists and engineers
     to accelerate the advances in this field. The establishment of TCPP
     is a major step towards providing a forum for such activities. TCPP
     seeks the participation of all scientists and engineers
     in the area of parallel processing.


     Objectives
     ----------

       The main objectives of TCPP are:

         1. to act as a forum for scientists and engineers throughout the
            world in the area of parallel processing to express their views
            and exchange ideas through sponsored meetings, and

         2. to assume leadership in reaching out to the parallel processing
            community in

               - sponsoring technical meetings,
               - assist IEEE Computer Society in bringing out books on
                 parallel processing and in acquiring and distributing
                 videos of technical presentations,
               - set guidelines for undergraduate and graduate education
                 in parallel processing, and
               - foster interaction among academia, funding agencies,
                 national laboratories, and industry.

     Newsletter and Call for Articles
     --------------------------------

       TCPP newsletter will serve as a forum for scientists and
     engineers in the area of parallel processing to express their
     opinions and views. The emphasis of the newsletter will be to
     expedite exchange of  information among its  readers.  Short
     articles in all areas related to parallel processing will be
     considered for  publication.  Items of interest include (but
     not limited to):

             - technical summaries of research results,
             - announcement of new parallel processing systems,
               technologies and standards,
             - report on projects under development in academia,
               industry and national laboratories,
             - opinions on current and future trends in parallel
               processing,
             - review of new books, and
             - information on new courses in parallel processing

       Opinions expressed in the contributions will be those of the
     individual authors rather than the official position of TCPP,
     the IEEE  Computer Society, or organizations to which the
     author(s) may be affiliated. Besides the articles, the newsletter
     will be covering announcements of general interest: calendar of
     events about upcoming conferences, workshops and symposia, and
     call for papers (including upcoming special issues of journals).

       In its first year, TCPP is planning to bring out three issues of
     the newsletter. Short articles (in camera-ready form or LaTeX format)
     can be sent to either one of the newsletter editors:
