The 1985 USENIX conference marks the tenth anniversary
of the first meeting. Early USENIX meetings were held in
small lecture rooms where programmers would discuss how to
fix the tape driver or how to arrange for system manuals to
be printed. The technical program was often constructed in
real-time, and proceedings were published after the confer-
ences.
In keeping with the consistently improving technical
tradition of USENIX conferences, the Portland proceedings
will be available at the conference, and for the first time
selected conference papers will be reviewed by Software
Practice and Experience for a special edition later in the
year. As usual papers as well as panel or workshop sessions
are solicited on any technical aspect of the UNIX operating
system and related areas such as compilers and languages,
networks, distributed computation, and software tools. In
addition contributions are solicited in the following spe-
cial areas:
programming environments, e.g. ADA
user interfaces, e.g. windows and interactive debuggers
multiprocessing hardware and software techniques
new architectures, e.g. RISC
interactive graphics
experiences with system distribution and release
evolutionary and perspective points of view
standards activities
The conference publication schedule is as follows:
abstracts due: March 18
notification of acceptance: April 3
camera-ready copy due: May 10
Abstracts should be at least 1000 words, or 1-2 pages in
length, and convey the sense of the final paper. The pro-
gram committee prefers to receive abstracts via electronic
mail at ucbvax!portland. Otherwise they may be sent to the
following U.S. Mail address:

USENIX TECHNICAL CONFERENCE - JANUARY 21 - 23, 1987 - WASHINGTON, D.C.
CALL FOR PAPERS
UNIX PERFORMANCE
On January 22, USENIX will present a technical session focusing on
performance and UNIX systems. Topics applicable to UNIX Systems might
include, but are not limited to the following:
. Performance Data Gathering, Presentation and Analysis
. Performance Aspects of Real Time Systems
. Case Studies
. Performance Prediction Methodologies
. Techniques for Improving System Performance
. Meeting Performance Constraints
. Program Performance Tools (e.g. Profilers, Monitors, Optimizers)
. Measuring and Predicting Network Performance
. Multiprocessor and/or Distributed Systems
Papers or extended abstracts are due by September 15, 1986. Notification
of acceptance will be given by October 15, and camera-ready copy of accepted
papers must be received by November 20. Proceedings will be distributed
at the conference. Papers should be 8 to 12 pages in length and submitted to:

UNIX-BASED DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - CALL FOR PAPERS
On January 23, USENIX will explore the state of the art of UNIX-based
data managements systems. The day will be in two parts:
MORNING: User Experience
This session is a combination of invited talks and those chosen from the
submitted abstracts (see below). We are particularly looking for people
to give talks about their applications: how they have designed the
application and database for a particular DBMS, what features led them
to choose that particular DBMS, whether their expectations were met.
We are also looking for people who have resolved the data integrity
problems inherent in applications that replicate data across workstations
and mainframes.
AFTERNOON: Advances (or Steps Backwards?)
The afternoon session is composed of invited talks and panels, and talks
or panels chosen from submitted abstracts.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
HOW DEEP SHOULD A DBMS GO?
How much of a general purpose OS can/should a DBMS use? Is it practical
to build a DBMS on top of a distributed file system? To use virtual
memory as a locking mechanism?
HOW HIGH SHOULD A DBMS GO?
Are DBMSs best used as "application programming environments" or is there
a use for programmerless, very fancy user interfaces?
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF:
AI/Expert System/Object Oriented databases?
CAD/CAM, pictographic, spatial databases?
WHY NOT JUST GREP YOUR DATA?
Extended abstracts (2 - 4 pages), papers (9 - 12 pages), or proposals
for panels must be submitted by September 15. Please send these to:
Paula Hawthorn
Britton Lee, Inc.
14600 Winchester Blvd.
Los Gatos, CA 95030

Authors will be notifed of acceptance by October 15. Camera-ready copy of
accepted papers must be received by November 20. Proceedings will be
distributed at the conference.

that will be dedicated to the topic of Performance
Measurement Tools and Techniques for Local Area Networks.
The issue is scheduled for publication in mid-1987. It is
intended to cover the architecture, design, implementation,
and use of the tools to measure the performance of LANs.
Papers discussing experience with LAN measurement tools and
techniques and the results of these measurements are highly
desired. Both original research papers and tutorial papers
will be considered.
Papers are solicited in topics such as:
o+ Performance Measurements of 802.x Networks
o+ Performance Test Tools and/or Measurement Techniques
for 802.x Networks
o+ Network and Transport Layer Performance Tools and
Measurements
o+ Application Layer Protocol Performance Tools and
Measurements
o+ Network Simulators
o+ Performance Measurements of Bridged LANs
o+ Performance Measurements of Gatewayed LANs
o+ Protocol Conversion Performance Measurements
