The Parcella series is a forum for displaying the landscape of research in East European countries and is also a meeting place for exchanging ideas and initiating steps towards a future of broad scoped East-West co-operation in a unified Europe. Advanced supercomputing and the obtained software technology are of great importance for the East-West technological co-operation. It includes applications like energy and raw material resources planning and exploration modelling, material research (special metals, ceramics, semiconductors) and industrial supercomputing. These proceedings contain several recent research results on the topics of mathematical foundations of parallel computing, languages, programming, theory of algorithms, data flow, design of architectures and systems, memory and memory access, interconnection networks, routing, image processing and modelling, computational geometry, computer graphics, graphalgorithms, fault-tolerant computing, neurocomputing and connectionism, optical computing, scientific computation, applications in biology, physics, engineering, manufacturing systems, program packages and problem solving environments supporting scientific computations.

This volume contains a collection of original papers, associated with the International Conference on Partial Differential Equations, held in Potsdam, July 29 to August 2, 1996. The conference has taken place every year on a high scientific level since 1991; this event is connected with the activities of the Max Planck Research Group for Partial Differential Equations at Potsdam. Outstanding researchers and specialists from Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the USA contribute to this volume. The main topics concern recent progress in partial differential equations, microlocal analysis, pseudo-differential operators on manifolds with singularities, aspects in differential geometry and index theory, operator theory and operator algebras, stochastic spectral analysis, semigroups, Dirichlet forms, Schrodinger operators, semiclassical analysis, and scattering theory.

The 14 chapters of this volume, which present an overview of new research in evolutionary dynamics, were first presented at a conference held in October 1998 at the Santa Fe Institute. The main divisions of the book are macroevolution; epochal evolution; population genetics, dynamics, and optimization; and evolution of cooperation. Individual topics include spectral landscape theory, external triggers in biological evolution, and evolutionary dynamics of asexual reproduction. Several of the contributors, like the editors, are affiliated with the Sante Fe Institute; others teach or work in physics, genetics, biology, computational neuroscience, and theoretical chemistry at universities and private institutions in the US, UK, Austria, Sweden, Australia, Israel, and Germany.

THE CONTEXT OF PARALLEL PROCESSING The field of digital computer architecture has grown explosively in the past two decades. Through a steady stream of experimental research, tool-building efforts, and theoretical studies, the design of an instruction-set architecture, once considered an art, has been transformed into one of the most quantitative branches of computer technology. At the same time, better understanding of various forms of concurrency, from standard pipelining to massive parallelism, and invention of architectural structures to support a reasonably efficient and user-friendly programming model for such systems, has allowed hardware performance to continue its exponential growth. This trend is expected to continue in the near future. This explosive growth, linked with the expectation that performance will continue its exponential rise with each new generation of hardware and that (in stark contrast to software) computer hardware will function correctly as soon as it comes off the assembly line, has its down side. It has led to unprecedented hardware complexity and almost intolerable dev- opment costs. The challenge facing current and future computer designers is to institute simplicity where we now have complexity; to use fundamental theories being developed in this area to gain performance and ease-of-use benefits from simpler circuits; to understand the interplay between technological capabilities and limitations, on the one hand, and design decisions based on user and application requirements on the other.

Mechatronics, a synergistic combination of mechanical, electronic and computing engineering technologies, is a truly multidisciplinary approach to engineering. New products based on mechatronic principles are demonstrating reduced mechanical complexity, increased performance and often previously impossible capabilities. This book contains the papers presented at the UK Mechatronics Forum's 6th International Conference, held in Skövde, Sweden, in September 1998. Many of these high-quality papers illustrate the tremendous influence of mechatronics on such areas as manufacturing machinery, automotive engineering, textiles manufacture, robotics, and real-time control and vision systems. There are also papers describing developments in sensors, actuators, control and data processing techniques, such as fuzzy logic and neural networks, all of which have practical application to mechatronic systems.
