                      CALL FOR PAPERS

    Second International Conference on Architectural Support
  for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS-II)

                      Rickey's Hyatt House
            Palo Alto, California, October 5-8, 1987

           Sponsored by ACM and IEEE Computer Society

This is a reprise of the highly successful symposium held in 1982. Many of 
the ideas discussed at that time are now reaching the marketplace.  This time, 
we intend to focus on experimental analyses of architectures and performance
evaluations of prototype systems, including application-specific designs. The 
time is ripe to review progress and identify future directions.

Full papers (approximately 5000 words) are solicited in:

    * Language and OS-Influenced Processor Designs

    * Architecture-Influenced Compiler and OS Design

    * Experimental Analysis of Instruction Set and Other Architectural Design 
      Choices

    * Performance Evaluation of Prototype and Newly Available Commercial Systems

We also solicit short (1000 word) high quality technical abstracts on 
innovative commercial and prototype systems that address topics of relevance 
to this conference. Full presentations will be expected.

Five copies of submitted papers should be sent to the program chairman at the 
address below, and will be accepted for evaluation until February 1, 1987. 
Submissions will be read by members and designated reviewers of the program
committee:

Randy Katz, U.C. Berkeley (chairman)
Forest Baskett, Silicon Graphics
David Ditzel, AT&T Bell Laboratories
James Goodman, University of Wisconsin
John Hennessy, Stanford University
Edward McCreight, Xerox PARC
Steven Muchnick, Sun Microsystems
Richard Sites, DEC Hudson
Alan Smith, U.C. Berkeley
Chuck Thacker, DEC Systems Res. Center
Philip Treleaven, University College London
Mario Tokoro, Keio University

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by May 15, 1987.  Accepted 
papers must be typed on special forms and received by the program chairman by 
July 1, 1987.

A number of special activities are planned in conjunction with the conference, 
including tutorials, invited papers, and a special journal issue. The best 
submitted papers will be considered for publication in this issue.
