  In the last few years, courses on parallel computation have been
developed and offered in many institutions as a recognition of the
growing significance of this topic in computer science.  Parallel
computation curricula are still in their infancy, however, and there
is a clear need for communication and cooperation among the faculty
who teach such courses. This workshop will attempt to address this
need by bringing together parallel computing researchers, faculty who
teach parallel computing courses, and faculty who are interested in
developing parallel computing courses in their own schools.  It is
expected that this workshop will create a forum that will facilitate
the exchange of ideas, syllabi, course materials, software, and
experiences among instructors of parallel computation courses.
  The intention of this workshop is to maximize interaction among
those using innovative techniques, tools or strategies to teach
parallel computation.  We also want to encourage those faculty who are
interested in using innovative materials to come and present to us the
problems they have encountered.  The results of this workshop will be
compiled into a report, and resources will be placed on the internet.
  You are invited to the Forum on Parallel Curricula, March 31 -
April 1, 1995. More information is available in URL:
