The papers included in this book provide a wide coverage of current thinking and the new concepts which are being developed resulting from the introduction of the T9000. The role and use of the newly developed transputer and associated routing component, the C104, is discussed, and the use of existing range of transputers in the embedded systems market is also dealt with.

The contributed chapters to this volume provide a broad coverage of the areas of research in current parallel computing: architectures, languages and tools, graphics and fault tolerance. Additionally, the Inmos approach to building an asynchronous transfer mode system and the University of Twente method for designing system-level embedded controllers are featured in this work.

This volume contains papers presented at the 18th meeting of the World Occam and Transputer User Group (Wotug). The papers cover a wide range of transputer and OCCAM-related topics, such as the the porting and development of the OCCAM language (highlighting the need for cross platform implementations of OCCAM compilers), design approaches and applications.

This volume contains the papers presented at the 15th Technical Meeting of the World Occam and Transputer User Group (WOTUG-15), offering a representation of current work being undertaken in the transputer field. Two invited papers outline the development of systems architecture and programming environments which aim to make the power of the next generation transputers readily available.

This work comprises the proceedings of the Transputer Research and Applications Conference held in Georgia from October 23rd to October 25th, 1994. The conference is sponsored by the North American Transputer Users Group (NATUG).
