This conference will be slightly shorter than previous conferences, with
an emphasis on sessions of a highly technical and more interactive nature. To
encourage interchange between attendees and speakers, we plan to schedule
panels and semi-formal workshops as well as formal papers. Suggestions for
topics and speakers for these are being solicited. Because of the brevity and
interactive nature of this conference, no proceedings will be published.
Suggested topic areas include, but are not limited to:
o Kernel enhancement, performance, real-time modifications
o Networks and distributed processing
o Hardware: evaluations, modifications for UNIX, design issues for support-
ing UNIX
o Operating systems architecture
o Programming languages and environments
o Mail, news, and uucp: transport systems, addressing, routing, user inter-
faces, legal issues, USENET problems and solutions
o Computer graphics
o Applications: CAI, system management and monitoring, real-time projects,
novel database systems approaches
o System comparisons: 4.2BSD, System V.2, 2.9 BSD, etc.
o Standards and portability: kernel, commands, library, languages
o Future directions: security, standards, trends and predictions
