Abstract
In the Jasinevitchius (1991) we have introduced the new approach to the parallel space–time, computing structures (PASTICS). This paper deals with the further elaboration of the concept and synthesis of a particular architecture dedicated to the computer visions systems.
A dynamic pattern recognition problem has predetermined the functional organization of the newly developed architecture. A gist of the paper lies in a methodology of the synthesis and in the vitality of the obtained structures.

Abstract
This paper presents the new approach to the analysis and synthesis of a parallel-processing architecture. The novelty of the procedure lies in the generalized space–time system of co-ordinates and the space–time transformation of sets in the system. The parallel space–time computing structures (PASTICS) are introduced, main principles are presented and the functional structure of processing unit is analyzed. Computing in the PASTICS is considered as a minimization of a certain potential function which can be derived from the state-transition and output functions, corresponding to the problem to be solved. The problem of synchronization of different processing units must be solved similarly as it is done in the data-flow control computers. Two important cases of application of the PASTICS are mentioned.
