CALL FOR PAPERS
HICSS ( Hawaiian Int'l Conf. on System Science ), in cooperation
with IEEE Software Magazine, is planning the 1988 HICSS Software
Track session on "Parallel Programming". This session will
cover:
+ Parallel Programming Languages
+ Paradigms for Parallel Programming
+ Parallel Programming Environments
+ Tools for Analyzing Parallel Programs
+ Techniques for Identifying & Managing Parallelism
+ Debugging, Maintenance, and Reuse of Parallel Programs
Papers will be reviewed for the HICSS conference to be held the
first week of January 1988. In addition, exceptional papers will
be considered for publication in a special issue of IEEE Software
to be published May 1988. Need 8 copies by June 15, 1987.
Authors will be notified by August 15, 1987.
Your participation is invited as author, reviewer, or both.

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 REFEREES
HICSS- 25
KAUAI, HAWAII - JANUARY 7-10, 1992
ARCHITECTURAL AND OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT
FOR PERSISTENT OBJECT SYSTEMS
Persistent object systems are systems which support the creation and
manipulation of objects in a uniform manner, regardless of how long they
persist. This is in direct contrast with conventional systems where
temporary objects are created and manipulated using one mechanism
(typically programming language data structures) and permanent objects
are maintained using a different mechanism (usually a filestore). The
unification of temporary and permanent objects yields systems which are
both smaller and potentially more efficient than conventional systems,
whilst providing a platform for the development of large, data intensive
applications.
Since persistent systems have vastly different requirements from
conventional systems in terms of store management it is unreasonable to
expect conventional architectures and operating systems to provide an
appropriate platform. The Emerging Technologies Track of HICSS-25 will
contain a special set of sessions concentrating on architectural and
operating system support for persistent object systems. The
presentations in this minitrack will provide a forum to discuss advances
in theory and practice in this important emerging area. This minitrack
may be seen to complement a minitrack in the software track on
persistent object systems. The latter will concentrate more on higher
level software issues. The organisers of the two minitracks will co-
ordinate submissions and so papers on borderline topics may be sent to
either minitrack.
Papers are invited that may be practical, conceptual, tutorial or
descriptive in nature. Those papers selected for presentation will
appear in the Conference Proceedings, which are published by the
Computer Society of the IEEE and possibly also in a special issue of a
professional society journal. HICSS-25 is sponsored by the University of
Hawaii in cooperation with the ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and the
Pacific Research Institute for Information Systems and Management
(PRIISM). Submissions are solicited on the following topics:
* Persistent architectures
* Large virtual memory management
* Addressing and address translation for persistent systems
* Fault tolerance and reliability
* Distribution mechanisms
* Operating system support
* Architectural/OS Support for object-oriented languages
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS
Manuscripts should be 22-25 typewritten, double-spaced pages in length.
Please do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer
than this. Papers must not have been previously presented or published,
nor currently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will
be subjected to a rigorous refereeing process. Manuscripts should have
a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name(s) of
author(s), affiliation(s), complete postal and electronic mail
address(es), telephone number(s), and a 300-word abstract of the paper.
DEADLINES
* A 300-word abstract is due by April 18, 1991.
* Feedback to author concerning abstract by April 30, 1991.
* Six copies of the manuscript are due by June 5, 1991.
* Notification of accepted papers by August 30, 1991.
* Accepted manuscripts, camera-ready, are due by October 1, 1991.
