The innovative progress in the development of large- and
small-scale parallel computing systems and their increasing
availability have caused a sharp rise in interest in the scientific
principles that underlie parallel computation and parallel
programming. The biannual Parallel Architectures and Languages
Europe (PARLE) conferences aim at presenting current research on
all aspects of the theory, design and application of parallel
computing systems and parallel processing. PARLE '91, the third
conference in the series, again offers a wealth of high-quality
research material for the benefit of the scientific community.
Compared to its predecessors, the scope of PARLE '91 has been
broadened so as to cover the area of parallel algorithms and
complexity, in addition to the central themes of parallel
architectures and languages. The two-volume proceedings of the
PARLE '91 conference contain the text of all contributed papers
that were selected for the programme and of the invited papers by
leading experts in the field.
Since the first PARLE conference, PARLE '87, attracted more than
300 participants, it was considered a useful and successful forum
and encouraged the organization of this second issue known as PARLE
'89. The initiative for these conferences was taken by project 415
of ESPRIT (the European Strategic Programme for Research and
Development in Information Technology of the Commission of the
European Communities). Their scope covers central themes in the
area of parallel architectures and languages, including such topics
as concurrent, object-oriented, logic and functional programming;
MIMD, dataflow, inference and reduction machines; design and
verification of parallel systems; VLSI, WSI and RISC architectures;
performance evaluation, memory management, systolic arrays,
applications and special purpose architectures. The five invited
lectures present the state of the art and advanced developments in
major research areas related to the topics of the conference. Of
the more than 150 submitted papers, 45 were selected for
presentation. Furthermore the program of PARLE '89 comprises
presentations on the subprojects which together constitute ESPRIT
project 415. Parallel architectures based on a variety of
programming styles (object-oriented, logic, functional, dataflow)
are represented in these overviews.

'Design by programming' has proved very successful in the
development of complex software systems. This book describes the
construction of programs for VLSI digital circuit design, using the
language Tangram, and shows how they can be compiled automatically
in fully asynchronous circuits. Handshake circuits were invented by
the author to separate questions involving the efficient
implementation of the VLSI circuits from issues arising in their
design. Dr van Berkel presents a mathematical theory of handshake
circuits and a silicon compiler supported by a correctness proof.
The treatment of VLSI realizations of handshake circuits includes
various forms of optimization, handshake refinement, message
encoding, circuit initialization, and testing. The approach is
illustrated with a host of examples drawn from a wide range of
application areas. The book will be of use to electrical engineers
and computer scientists involved in VLSI design.
