Call for Papers Workshop on UNIX and Supercomputers Westin William Penn Hotel Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania September 26-27, 1988 Sponsored by the USENIX Association NON-PRESENTERS WELCOME! 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. YOU NEED NOT BE A PRESENTER TO ATTEND!

***** CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION ***** 28th Annual Technical Symposium of the Washington, D.C. Chapter of the ACM INTERFACES: Systems and People Working Together National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, Maryland - August 24, 1989 No computer is an island. Increasingly, systems are being tied together to improve their value to the organizations they serve. This symposium will explore the theoretical and practical issues in interfacing systems and in enabling people to use them effectively. *** SOME TOPICS OF INTEREST FOR SUBMITTED PAPERS *** * HUMAN FACTORS * User interfaces Meeting the needs of handicapped users Conquering complexity Designing systems for people Intelligent assistants The human dimension of information interchange * SYSTEMS INTEGRATION * Communications networks Distributed databases Data standardization System fault tolerance Communications standards (e.g. GOSIP) * STRATEGIC SYSTEMS * Decision support systems Embedding expert systems in information systems Strategic info systems Computer Aided Logistics Support (CALS) * SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION * Quality control and testing Designing a system of systems System management Conversion and implementation strategies Software tools and CASE Identifying requirements thru prototyping * ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES FOR APPLICATIONS PORTABILITY * Ada Database management Open software Open protocol technology Operating systems (e.g., POSIX) ==> DON'T BE LIMITED BY OUR SUGGESTIONS - MAKE YOUR OWN! 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." *** SCHEDULE *** March 2, 1989 Please send five copies of your paper to the Program Chairman: Dr. Milton S.
