Anaheim Convention Center
Anaheim, California                       "The UNIX
February 4-7, 1986                              Connections"

Sponsored by:
     /usr/group


Uniforum, the International Conference of UNIX Users, has
established itself as the premier UNIX conference/trade
show.  Both Uniforum 1984 in Washington, D.C. and Uniforum
1985 at the Infomart in Dallas provided unlimited
opportunities for users, vendors, buyers, software and
hardware developers, and newcomers to interact and exchange
information in a highly concentrated UNIX-specific forum.

The conference theme for Uniforum 1986 -- "The UNIX
Connections" -- focuses on the bridge that UNIX provides for
users to talk across diverse applications running a full
spectrum of hardware architectures.  The program targets a
range of interests -- from software development engineers to
VLSI designers to data systems managers, and from PCs to
supercomputers.  Day-long tutorials will present intensive
material on specific subjects in UNIX, while the conference
sessions will present the latest technical and marketing
developments in the evolving UNIX industry.

Proposals for papers and panel sessions are solicited from
the UNIX community at large, including but not limited to:
