The University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory
made the draft available by anonymous FTP 
mail servers and were instrumental in distributing the document.

\MPI/ operated on a very tight budget (in reality, it had no budget when
the first meeting was announced).  
ARPA and NSF have supported research at various institutions
that have made a contribution towards travel for the U.S. academics.
Support for several European participants was provided by
ESPRIT.

%We would like to thank ARPA and the NSF for their financial
%support and, in particular, Gil Weigand and Robert Voigt.  In addition,
%the Center for Research on Parallel Computing provided support
%for the initial meetings.
