 The fourth "Parallel Circus" was hosted by Rutgers University and
co-chaired by Gene Golub (Dept. of Computer Science, Stanford             
University) and Apostolos Gerasoulis (Dept.  of Computer Science,
Rutgers University) on December 2/3 at the Hyatt Regency in New
Brunswick. This meeting provides a forum for researchers interested     
in parallel computing to exchange ideas in an informal fashion. The
first Parallel Circus had been hosted by Yale and chaired by Martin   
Schultz in May of 1987 and was followed by meetings at Cornell
University and IBM Kingston (organized by Charles Van Loan and Vijay
Sonnad, respectively). 

The rising interest in parallel computing was documented by the about
80 attendees that made this meeting the largest and most diversified
ever. The twenty nine talks that were presented touched virtually
every aspect of scientific computing.  Some distinct advantages are
the exposure to as yet unpublished work or work in progress and the
informal atmosphere fostering exchange of ideas.

Joe Flaherty (flaherje@turing.cs.rpi.edu) of the Computer Science
Department of Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute was volunteered to host
the next meeting which is tentatively planned for around April of
1989.
