EVENT: The Annual West Coast Masscomp Users' Group Meeting PLACE: The Red Lion Inn in San Jose DATE: Thursday the 9th of October, 1986 THE THEME: "Solutions" THIS NOTICE: An invitation to submit questions and proposals for presentations. As fellow Masscomp users we share similar hardware/software configurations, and so share similar problems. As a users' group we should try to collect and disseminate information which will (as much as possible) present solutions to the problems we share. To focus on those solutions, this year's meeting has (tentatively) been divided into two phases: 1. A Question & Answer Session with a Panel of Masscomp Engineers. Please take a few moments now to consider those many thorny issues you might like to see discussed. These may vary from the general, e.g., "how can I optimally make use of multiple CPU's for on-line processing during real-time sampling?", to the specific, e.g., "how can a device driver (running under 3.0 or 3.1 ) best protect itself from an immediate second interupt within its interupt handler?". They may, of course, also deal with hardware issues. Questions should be submitted well in advance of the meeting, and should include code-fragments where necessary. All questions will be collated and submitted to Masscomp early enough so they will have time to properly research solutions. Keep in mind that the purpose of the meeting is to share solutions with others, (and is not a roast) so questions should be focused on problems that appear to have some generality (i.e., let's not expect Masscomp to debug our code). 2. User Presentations. As in previous years, individual users and vendors are invited to present short talks. You may propose talks describing useful packages (hardware or software) that you are selling, giving away, or have merely used. Talks about local "solutions" which illustrate general lessons are expecially welcome. Please send all questions, suggestions and bribes to: N.
