     The Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences
(Academgorodok, Novosibirsk) and the State University of Yaroslavl
are jointly organizing the Fourth International Conference on
PARALLEL COMPUTING TECHNOLOGIES (PaCT-97). This conference will be
held in Yaroslavl, September 8-12, 1997. Three previous conferences
have been held in Novosibirsk (1991), Obninsk (1993) and

applications, and trends in parallel computing technologies. We
sincerely hope this conference will help to deepen our
understanding of parallel computing technologies by providing a
forum for an exchange of views between scientists and specialists
from over the world. We welcome your active participation.
