Publisher's Synopsis
New problems in the area of parallel architectures, neural networks, distributed systems and high performance CAD-CAM systems are presented in this proceedings volume, including a discussion of transputer applications, modelling and research into new architectural solutions. Contributions present an interesting meeting of rational practice-based research methods and the more theoretical, logical, consequential and provable ways of tackling a problem. The first method, seeks the most effective and economical in the design of the architecture. The second approach, more theoretical in nature, offers the most optimal solutions based on theory. The meeting of these two approaches, presented in this volume, has shown that there are valuable changes being made in the way of thinking of both of these schools.
