Abstract Machine Models have played a profound though frequently unacknowledged role in the development of modern computing systems. They provide a precise definition of vital concepts, allow system complexity to be managed by providing appropriate views of the activity under consideration, enable reasoning about the correctness and quantitative performance of proposed problem solutions, and encourage communication through a common medium of expression. Abstract Models in Parallel and Distributed computing have a particularly important role in the development of contemporary systems, encapsulating and controlling an inherently high degree of complexity. The Parallel and Distributed computing communities have traditionally considered themselves to be separate. However, there is a significant contemporary interest in both of these communities in a common hardware model; a set of workstation-class machines connected by a high-performance network. The traditional Parallel/Distributed distinction therefore appears under threat.

Technical articles on the 19th meeting of the World Occam and Transputer User Group (WoTUG). They cover a wide range of topics from hardware applications to software tools for of parallel processing support; not solely related to transputers. Part of the book focusses on the retargeting of the occam compiler to a range of other processors.

The 21st century will be the age of network computing. Among the many key technologies in this field, parallel computing and networking technology will play very important roles. In this book emphasis is placed on networking and modeling parallel computing. The topics cover parallel computing algorithms, parallel software, massively parallel computing systems and related applications. Articles cover parallel computing, networking and related applications, to initiate discussions. Since the appearance of Transputer chip T9000, C104, and standardizations of IEEE1355, Transputer systems seem to have opened a new interesting area of parallel computing, networking and many practical applications.
