The first full USENIX converence on C++ will be held in Denver, Colorado, Monday through Thursday, October 17-20 1988. A one-day limited-enrollment implementor's workshop will follow the conference on Friday, October 21. Papers are solicited on all aspects of C++, including applications libraries new or improved implementations programming environments case studies We intend this conference to be interesting to a broad range of C++ users and potential users. Even if you have never written a C++ program, you will probably be able to learn enough from the tutorials to follow the technical sessions. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Tutorials, Monday and Tuesday, October 17-18 The tutorial program is ideal for people who have been thinking about using C++ but haven't had the opportunity to learn it. In addition, we expect to cover selected advanced topics for people who are already using C++. Please contact the program chair if you are interested in giving a tutorial or have a topic you would particularly like to see covered. Technical sessions, Wednesday and Thurdsay, October 19-20 One characteristic of C++ that stands out is the diversity of its applications and users. They range from microcomputers to large systems, from graphics and databases to real-time process control, from single-programmer efforts to large projects. The technical sessions will present a cross-section of this diverse and rapidly growing community. Implementor's Workshop, Friday, October 21 This small workshop is intended for people who are actively involved in C++ implementation. The workshop fee covers hotel accommodations for Thursday and Friday nights, meals through Friday lunch, and round-trip transportation leaving Denver after the main technical sessions and returning Saturday morning. The workshop is primarily for speakers at this and last year's C++ meetings. If space permits, a few others will be admitted. If you don't want to speak at the conference, but wish to attend the workshop, let us know and submit a paper or abstract of your relevant work just as you would if you were interested in speaking at the conference. Details about the workshop will be sent with acceptance notices.
