The continous development of computer technology supported by the
VLSI revolution stimulated the research in the field .of
multiprocessors systems. The main motivation for the migration of
design efforts from conventional architectures towards
multiprocessor ones is the possibi I ity to obtain a significant
processing power together with the improvement of
price/performance, reliability and flexibility figures. Currently,
such systems are moving from research laboratories to real field
appl ications. Future technological advances and new generations of
components are I ikely to further enhance this trend. This book is
intended to provide basic concepts and design methodologies for
engineers and researchers involved in the development of mul
tiprocessor systems and/or of appl ications based on multiprocessor
architectures. In addition the book can be a source of material for
computer architecture courses at graduate level. A preliminary
knowledge of computer architecture and logical design has been
assumed in wri ting this book. Not all the problems related with
the development of multiprocessor systems are addressed in th i s
book. The covered range spans from the electrical and logical
design problems, to architectural issues, to design methodologis
for system software. Subj ects such as software development in a
multiprocessor environment or loosely coupled multiprocessor
systems are out of the scope of the book. Since the basic elements,
processors and memories, are now available as standard integrated
circuits, the key design problem is how to put them together in an
efficient and reliable way."
In the last few years ways of thinking in psychiatry have undergone
considerable change thanks to advances in the fields of morphology
and plasticity of the CNS, particularly with regard to
schizophrenic and mood disorders. In addition, the rapid and
considerable development of neuroimaging techniques (CT, MRI, PET
and computerized EEG) and of molecular genetics (through DNA
recombinant meth odologies) have widened the approach to these
disorders in a way unimagined a few years ago. These advances and
the new etiopathogenetic hypotheses that have sprung from them were
the central theme of the Second International Meeting on Schizophre
nia "Morphology and Plasticity of the Central Nervous System - A
Challenge for Psychiatry of the Nineties" which was organized by
the Association for Research on Schizophrenia (ARS), the
Schizophrenia Research Center of the Institute of Psychiatry of the
University of Milan and the T. and F. Legrenzi Foundation, held in
Milan on October 22-24, 1987. This book contains the contributions
from participants of the meeting, which took place in a warm and
friendly atmosphere and marked by lively and exhaustive discussions
on the various papers. The contributions were recently revised for
the present publication. We would like to express our appreciation
to the book's contributors for the high quality of their reports."
