SAC '95
=======


The 10th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, sponsored by six
ACM SIGs, will be an exciting opening to ACM Computing Week '95. Sunday
afternoon features four Tutorials on current topics. The technical sessions
on Monday and Tuesday offer some 100 paper presentations which help carry out
the symposium theme, "Business and Government Applications". Monday morning,
Hal Berghel of the University of Arkansas gives the SAC keynote address,
"Cyber-Surfing: The State-of-the-Art in Client-Server Browsers and
Navigators". Tuesday morning, Ken Kennedy of Rice University will be the
featured speaker on "The Prospects for Architecture Independent Parallel
Programming." To encourage meeting fellow practitioners and exchanging ideas,
SAC '95 is sponsoring two receptions for its registrants. Welcome to SAC '95!




Special Track on Programming Languages
======================================


A special track on programming languages will be held at SAC '95. It will be
a forum for engineers, researchers and practitioners throughout the world to
share technical ideas and experiences relating to implementation and
application of programming languages. The program is divided into three
sessions as follows:


Compiling Techniques
--------------------


Control Flow Analysis: a Functional Languages Compilation Paradigm
Serrano, Manuel
INRIA (France)


Achieving Efficient Register Allocation via Parallelism
Makowski, Christine; Pollock, Lori L.
University of Delaware (USA)


Combining Structural and Procedural Programming by
Parallelizing Compilation
Schmidt, Karin; Hartenstein, R.W.
University of Kaiserslautern (Germany)


Concurrency in Programming Languages
------------------------------------


Turning a Functional Data Type into a Concurrent Programming Language
Scholz, Enno
Freie Universitat Berlin (Germany)


The Concurrent Object-Oriented Language Braid
Huntbach, Matthew
Queen Mary and Westfield College (UK)


Modelling Distributed Systems using Z
Bowman, Howard; Derrick, John

                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SAC is sponsored by the following ACM Special Interest Groups (SIGs):
Applied Computing (SIGAPP), Computer Uses in Education (SIGCUE), Indivi-
dual Computing Environments (SIGICE), Biomedical Computing (SIGBIO),
FORTH (SIGFORTH) and Ada (SIGADA). All SAC '95 activities will take
place at the Opryland Hotel as part of ACM Computing Week. SAC '95 con-
tinues the tradition of being a major event for applied computing prof-
essionals and academics.

                                                        ***************


                            SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26th * 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TUTORIAL 1: COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE in MEDICAL and TECHNICAL
~~~~~~~~~~~ APPLICATIONS
                          Madjid Fathi and Christopher Tresp, University of Dortmund


An insight into the possibilities for the use of Neural Networks, Fuzzy
Systems and Evolutionary Algorithms in the context of medical and tech-
nical applications.


TUTORIAL 2: PARALLEL DATABASE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
~~~~~~~~~~~ Kam-Fai Wong, Chinese University of Hong Kong


Very large databases may easily involve over tera-bytes of data. The
concept of parallel database systems (PDS), which is based on the ex-
tended dataflow computation model, will be presented. In addition, a
few engineering issues regarding the implementation of the model will
be reviewed.


TUTORIAL 3: WORLD-WIDE WEB
~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert Inder, The University of Edinburgh


The World-Wide Web (WWW) makes it simple both to publish and fetch in-
formation over the Internet. This tutorial describes how it evolved,
how it works, and how it is being used. It will start from the basics
of explaining terms like browser, server, HTML, crawlers and meta-index-
es, and finish with an overview of how to write documents and configure
a WWW site, and the basics of doing more than just distributing docu-
ments.


TUTORIAL 4: OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING USING ADA 9X
~~~~~~~~~~~ Brad Balfour, CACI, Inc.
                          (Sponsored by ACM SIGAda)


This tutorial will introduce experienced Ada '83 programmers to the
basics of object-oriented programming as implemented in the Ada 9X
language. Basic OOP concepts, techniques, issues and idioms will be
covered, and the use of Ada 9X to implement them will be explored. The
tutorial will present a balanced treatment between Ada 9X specific lan-
guage issues and general OOP concepts, and will survey many important
issues without exploring any one in too much depth.
