A large number of supercomputers are now or will in the future be running 
UNIX as their primary operating system.  This is the first workshop to 
consider the general problems of running UNIX on supercomputers, and will 
cover topics both practical and abstract.  Areas of specific interest 
include but are not limited to:
 
	Systems administration
	Archiving
	Scheduling
	File systems
	Networking and network protocols
	Job batching systems
	Monitoring Performance/parallelism
	Programming languages and environments
	Fast file I/O
	Shared memory management
	IPC
	Very large files
	Checkpoint-restart
 
The workshop will include both shorter presentations and full-length
papers, and there will also be tours of Pittsburgh Supercomputing
Center and Westinghouse Energy Center facilities and a reception at
the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.  Workshop proceedings will be
available at the Workshop.
 
If you are interested in presenting either a full paper or a brief
discussion of your current work, please send an abstract of your paper
or presentation to Melinda Shore by  July 15, 1988 .  If you are sending
your submission by US Mail, please send three copies.  All submissions
will be acknowledged.

     Both experienced and first-time authors are encouraged to present their
work.  Papers will be refereed.  A length of 10 to 20 double-spaced pages is
suggested.
     Those presenting a paper are entitled to register for the symposium at
the early advance registration rate.
     To propose special sessions or noncommercial demonstrations, please send
three copies of an extended abstract to the Program Chairman at the address
below.
     Note: A paper must include the name, mailing address, and telephone
number of each author or other presenter.  Authors of accepted papers must
transfer copyright to ACM for material published in the Proceedings (excepting
papers that cannot be copyrighted under Government regulations).
     The ACM policy on prior publication was revised in 1987.  A complete
statement of the policy appears in the November 1987 issue of Communications
of the ACM.  In part it states that "republication of a paper, possibly
revised, that has been disseminated via a proceedings or newsletter is
permitted if the editor of the journal to which it has been submitted judges
that there is significant additional benefit to be gained from republication."
