This is the tentative 1988 WINTER Conference Program.
The morning sessions are devoted to Project Athena (MIT) and Andrew (CMU).
Afternoons sport parallel sessions until about 4:30. BoF's meet on
WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY evenings. Work-in-Progress session is
Thursday afternoon after the main sessions.
I'm sending out paper acceptances and rejections tonight, with luck.
Thanks to the program committee for reviewing 82 abstracts (each with
several reviewers) in just 52 hours!
Note to authors of accepted papers: Watch this notesfile/newsgroup
for `Instructions for Authors' complete with troff macros for you to
use.
Hope to see thousands of you in Dallas this Winter! We'll be about
two (big) blocks from a row of almost two dozen fun restaurants --
it'll be a blast. Don't miss your choice of 21 tutorials, too!
Rob Kolstad
Hardworking Program Chairman
PS: registration info is at the press now and will be mailed as soon
as possible. Keep an eye on those mailboxes.
