		      SUPERCOMPUTING SYMPOSIUM '89

  This is the second announcment of SUPERCOMPUTING SYMPOSIUM '89, Canada's
only major conference on supercomputing. In its third year it has taken on
a very international flavour. Papers have already been received from
France, Great Britain, Australia and the United States as well as from
across Canada. The conference's three major interest streams are
Applications, Communications and Systems (Hardware and Software). The
variety of presentations will guarantee that each attendee will have no
moments of boredom at any time during the conference. In addition several
major vendors will be represented in the Exhibition area.

  The plenery speakers have been selected. They are Dr. George Connell
(President, University of Toronto), Bob Ewald (Executive Vice-President for
Software, Cray Research) and Dick Sherman (President, Supercomputing
Consortia). The subjects of their presentations have not yet been
announced. However, it is expected that Dr. Connell will discuss the state
of high performance computing in the Ontario university environement. Mr.
Ewald will probably focus on the issue of system and application software
in a supercomputing environment. Mr. Sherman is expected to be concerned
with the general subject of high performance computing in the decade of the
90s.

  The Call for Papers appears in <819@mcmi.UUCP>. Registration and other
information may be obtained from the Ontario Centre for Large Scale
Computation at 416-978-8256.
