Friends in CSP,
Hamid Arabnia, the organiser of The 2003 International Multiconference
in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, consisting of
15 Joint Conferences, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, June 23-26, 2003
responded to the mail I posted on the occam mailing list.
Since Hamid forgot to put the mailing list itself on the to: list, you could
not see his reaction. Therefore, I decided to quote his reaction here in
public.
Hamid wrote the following response to my critism on 'ironically transputer'.
> I very much agree with Marcel.
> Hamid
He wrote this in reply to the following mail:
> Ruth:
> > The most popular search term to get to the site is,
> > ironically, "transputer".
Marcel:
> Ironically?
> I would say that all the concepts fundamental to the transputer are very much
> alive, and actually, all those concepts together is exactly what CPA stands for.
> Indeed, the T9000 transputer and its predecessors are dead. So, physical
> instances of the traditional transputers are indeed dead.
> However, the concept "transputer" is very much alive.
> If I were you, I would adjust the website to make clear that this conference
> is about all concepts orginating from the transputer, and that those concepts,
> often a in evoluted form, have a considerable impact on today's Industrial
> Systems Development. Examples: Handel-C, Side-effect Free Interfaces,
> Advanced Component Based Development.
I hope Hamid's response has some impact on the 'marketing strategy' followed
by CPA and the mindset of us all.
Cheers,
Marcel
