      Special Issue of _Parallel Algorithms and Applications_ on
              Algorithms for Enhanced Mesh Architectures
  Typical processing needs found today in industrial, medical, and
military applications routinely involve handling extremely large
volumes of data. The amount of data involved in these applications,
combined with real-time processing requirements have suggested
massively parallel architectures as the only way to achieve the level
of performance required for many time- and safety-critical tasks.
  Recently, high-performance massively parallel machines have been
enhanced by the addition of various bus systems. We are planning to
edit a special issue of the PAA that will focus on  the design and
analysis of algorithms for enhanced mesh architectures.
  Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 o  Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, Computational Geometry,
 o  Data Structures and Fundamental Algorithms,
 o  Lower Bounds for Reconfigurable Models,
 o  Routing Algorithms,
 o  Fault Tolerance Issues,
 o  VLSI Chip Design Issues,
 o  Mapping of Parallel Algorithms,
 o  Embedding Problems: Static and Dynamic,
 o  Special-Purpose Reconfigurable Architectures,
 o  Load Balancing Issues.
  Publication is scheduled for Fall 1995. Please submit five copies of
your manuscript to the guest editor by February 15, 1994:
