\noindent
Work completed on this project for the period December 1 to December 31 1993:
\begin{itemize}
\item  Improvements to a prototype parallel sparse matrix program
       for power systems problems.
\item  Research into the requirents for parallelization of the EPRI 
       ETMSP transient stability analysis program, and work on 
       interfacing the program to a parallel sparse matrix solver.
\item  Study of the problems in interfacing state-of-the-art
       Differential-Algebraic Equation Solvers into ETMSP.
\item  Development of a prelinary version of an expert system to
       analyze transient stability output.
\item  Development of a preliminary implementation of a simulated 
       annealing optimization program for unit commitment.
\item  Studies of the basic computational issues relevant to power 
       systems application programs, such as the main algorithms used in 
       programs, methods for parallelizing these algorithms, and the 
       most appropriate computer languages and architectures.
\item  Further work on a preliminary survey of the applications programs 
       used at NMPC and the applicability of parallel processing to 
       these programs.
\item  Attendance of 3 EPRI conferences on programs and expert systems 
       for power systems problems of relevance to our project.
\end{itemize}
