Just as the processing speeds of chips are approaching their physical limits, the need for faster computations is increasing at an even faster rate. For example, ten years ago there was virtually no general-purpose parallel computer available commercially. Now there are several machines, some of which have received wide acceptance due to reasonable cost and attractive performance. The purpose of this special issue is to focus on the desgin and analysis of efficient parallel algorithms and their performance on different parallel architectures. We expect to have a good blend of theory and practice. In addition to theoretical papers on parallel algorithms, case studies and experience reports on applications of these algorithms in real-life problems are especially welcome. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following: o Parallel Algorithms and Applications. o Machine Models and Architectures. o Communication, Synchronization and Scheduling. o Mapping Algorithms on Architectures. o Performance Evaluation of Multiprocessor Systems. o Parallel Data Structures. o Parallel Programming and Software Tools. *********************************************************************** Please submit SEVEN copies of your manuscript to either of the * Guest Editors by May 1, 1994: * * *********************************************************************** Professor Sajal K.
