USENIX UNIX* AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS WORKSHOP
September 12-14, 1984
Hotel Viking, Newport, RI
A N N O U N C E M E N T
USENIX is sponsoring a limited enrollment workshop on current and future
developments in distributed systems aspects of UNIX, including:
. Distributed UNIX Systems
. Applications of distributed UNIX Systems
. Discussion of recently developed UNIX facilities (such as
the Berkeley IPC mechanism)
. Future directions and developments
This workshop will be structured for highly interactive sessions, with
presentations that will stimulate discussion of technical issues. Because of
our desire for interaction, enrollment will be limited to 120 attendees. All
attendees will be expected to contribute to the workshop by short presentations
or participation in the discussions. Selection of attendees will be based on a
brief position statement which will be refereed by the program committee.
The position paper should be 150 - 200 words describing what you are currently
working on and any ideas of interest for the workshop. It should also include
your name, address, affiliation, phone number and net address. If you wish
---- ------- ----------- ------------ -----------
to make a presentation, please indicate this and give a short description in
the position paper.
The registration fee will be $175.00 and will include meals and a reception,
but not hotel accomodations. Complete registration information will be mailed
to the selected attendees.
Please submit your position paper no later than July 31, 1984 to:

[Note: Due to the fact that some people felt that there was not
sufficiently wide publication of this workshop and the fact that
there are still some openings left, we are extending the deadline
for submissions by another week. We can't go much beyond that
because of a requirement for hotel reservations by 8/13.]
