This volume presents the proceedings of a workshop at which major Parallel Lisp activities in the US and Japan were explained. Work covered includes Multilisp and Mul-T at MIT, Qlisp at Stanford, Lucid and Parcel at Illinois, PaiLisp at Tohoku University, Multiprocessor Lisp on TOP-1 at IBM Tokyo Research, and concurrent programming in TAO. Most papers present languages and systems of Parallel Lisp and are in particular concerned with: - Language constructs of Parallel Lisp and their meanings from the standpoint of implementing Parallel Lisp systems; - Some important technical issues such as parallel garbage collection, dynamic task partitioning, futures and continuations in parallelism, automatic parallelization of Lisp programs, and the kernel concept of Parallel Lisp. Some performance results are reported that suggest practical applicability of Parallel Lisp systems in the near future. Several papers on concurrent object-oriented systems are also included.

This volume is a collection of papers on topics focused around concurrency, based on research work presented at the UK/Japan Workshop held at Wadham College, Oxford, September 25-27, 1989. The volume is organized into four parts: - Papers on theoretical aspects of concurrency which reflect strong research activities in the UK, including theories on CCS and temporal logic RDL. - Papers on object orientation and concurrent languages which reflect major research activities on concurrency in Japan. The languages presented include extensions of C, Prolog and Lisp as well as object-based concurrent languages. - Papers on parallel architectures and VLSI logic, including a rewrite rule machine, a graph rewriting machine, and a dataflow architecture. - An overview of the workshop including the abstracts of the talks and the list of participants. The appendix gives a brief report of the first UK/Japan Workshop in Computer Science, held at Sendai, Japan, July 6-9, 1987.

TACS'91 is the first International Conference on TheoreticalAspects of Computer Science held at Tohoku University,Japan, in September 1991. This volume contains 37 papers andan abstract for the talks presented at the conference. TACS'91 focused on theoretical foundations of programming,and theoretical aspects of the design, analysis andimplementation of programming languages and systems. Thefollowing range of topics is covered: logic, proof,specification and semantics of programs and languages;theories and models of concurrent, parallel and distributedcomputation; constructive logic, category theory, and typetheory in computer science; theory-based systems forspecifying, synthesizing, transforming, testing, andverifying software.

Parallel and distributed computing are becoming increasinglyimportant as cost-effective ways to achieve highcomputational performance. Symbolic computations are notablefor their use of irregular data structures and henceparallel symbolic computing has its own distinctive set oftechnical challenges. The papers in this book are based on presentations made at aworkshop at MIT in October 1992. They present results in awide range of areas including: speculative computation,scheduling techniques, program development tools andenvironments, programming languages and systems, models ofconcurrency and distribution, parallel computerarchitecture, and symbolic applications.

This volume presents the proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Theory and Practice of Parallel Programming, TPPP '94, held in Sendai, Japan in November 1994. The conference focused on theoretical foundations of parallel languages and parallel programming, related implementation issues, and practical applications. Among the topics covered are models of computation, logic, proof, specification of programmes, semantics of languages, implementation of languages and systems, and architectural support for parallelism and massively parallel computation.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Parallel Symbolic Languages and Systems, PSLS '95, held in Beaune, France, in October 1995.The 21 full papers included in the book were carefully selected for presentation at the meeting and thoroughly revised afterwards. Parallel symbolic computing has gained in importance for high-performance computing; in recent years, many applications have been implemented using C, C++, and their parallel extensions. This volume is organized in sections on evaluation strategies, programming tools, irregular data structures and applications, systems, and distributed models and systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Software, TACS'97, held in Sendai, Japan, in September 1997. The book presents 20 revised full papers selected from a total of 46 submissions. Also included are seven invited papers by internationally leading scientists. Among the topics addressed are action calculi, polymorphisms, type theory, lambda calculi, refinement, finite transition systems, model checking, process algebras, logical frameworks, higher-order logics, etc.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference IFIP TCS 2000 held in Sendai, Japan in August 2000.The 32 revised full papers presented together with nine invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 70 submissions. The papers are organized in two tracks on algorithms, complexity, and models of computation and on logics, semantics, specification, and verification. The book is devoted to exploring new frontiers of theoretical informatics and addresses all current topics in theoretical computer science.
