README files have been provided in each directory/subdirectory
to provide guidance.

The contents of this disk include the following:

\BAT directory:       This directory contains the batch files required
                      for compiling, linking, configuring and running
                      the programs on transputers. 

\BPNN directory:      This directory contains the files required for 
                      compiling, linking, configuring and running the
                      backpropagation neural networks on transputers.
                      The source code for the backpropagation network
                      is BPNN.C which may also be compiled by C compiler 
                      which follows the ANSI standard.

\FARHAT directory:    This directory contains the source files for the
                      greedy algorithm by Farhat which decomposes a
                      triangular mesh into N number of subdomains.

\GASGM directory:    This directory contains the files required for the
                     compilation, linking and running the GA-based SGM
                     using both non-predictive and predictive modes. The
                     subdirectory \DATA contains the datafiles used for
                     the GASGM partitioning of meshes in the book.

\MFA directory:     This directory contains the files required for the
                    compilation, linking and running the MFA-based SGM
                    using both non-predictive and predictive modes. The
                    subdirectory \BISECT contains the files for the MFA 
                    partitioning using the recursive bisection approach.
                    The subdirectory \POTTS contains the files required for
                    compiling, linking, configuring and running the POTTS
                    neural nets for partitioning meshes into N number of
                    subdomains. The subdirectories \BISECT and \POTTS also
                    contain subdirectories \DATA which contain the datafiles 
                    used for the partitioning of meshes in the book. The
                    "inipara.txt" files offer recommended initial parameters.

\PLOTS directory:  This directory contains the files required for viewing
                   and plotting the meshes and the subdomains in the 
                   ecapsulated postscript format.

\REMESH directory: This directory contains the files required for the 
                   remeshing of the partitioned subdomains in order to
                   refine the coarse mesh.

\UTILS directory: This directory contains some utility files helpful for
                  disecting and assembling the files generated by the
                  partitioning programs (except the greedy algorithm
                  partitioning).
