Abstracts should be 250-750 words long, emphasizing what is new and interesting about the work. The final paper should be 8-12 pages when typeset. Suggested topic areas include, but are not limited to: o+ Kernel enhancements, measurements, etc. o+ Programming languages and environments. o+ UNIX in the office environment. o+ Standards and portability. o+ _N_e_w mail systems (e.g., X.400-based systems or user interfaces incorporating new interface paradigms). o+ Applications, especially unusual ones such as computer aided music, factory automation, etc. o+ Security. o+ UNIX vs. the naive user. o+ Workstations: comparisons, experiences, trends. o+ Beyond UNIX -- what next? Presentations by vendors should contain substantial technical information and be of interest to the general community. All abstracts will be due by February 20, 1987. Electronic submissions to _u_c_b_v_a_x!_p_h_o_e_n_i_x or _p_h_o_e_n_i_x@_B_e_r_k_e_l_e_y._E_D_U are preferred. All abstracts should include your name, network address (see below), and telephone number. All authors whose abstracts are accepted must submit a paper by the publication deadline or they will forfeit their talk. We currently plan to strongly encourage electronic submissions of final papers in _t_r_o_f_f format using the -_m_e, -_m_m, or -_m_s macros and the _t_b_l, _e_q_n, and _p_i_c preprocessors. _T_E_X and _S_c_r_i_b_e are available with limited fonts. Dates of interest are: 20 February Abstracts due 16 March Notifications to authors 13 April Final papers due 10-12 June Conference program The program committee consists of: Eric Allman, Britton Lee (chair) Greg Chesson, Silicon Graphics Tom Ferrin, University of California, San Francisco Daniel Klein, Carnegie Mellon University Sam Leffler, Pixar Jay Lepreau, University of Utah John Mashey, MIPS Evi Nemeth, University of Colorado John Quarterman, TIC Dennis Ritchie, AT&T Bell Laboratories Dave Taylor, Hewlett Packard Chris Torek, University of Maryland For additional information regarding the program, contact: Eric Allman Britton Lee 1919 Addison Suite 105 Berkeley CA 94704 415/548-3211 (work) 415/843-9535 (home) ucbvax!eric eric@Berkeley.EDU Please include your network address, if available, with abstracts and all correspondence. This should be an Arpanet address or a UUCP address relative to a well known host; if in doubt, start from _m_c_v_a_x, _u_c_b_v_a_x, _d_e_c_v_a_x, or _s_e_i_s_m_o. Also include a telephone number so you can be contacted in the event of network difficulties. If you do not have a network address, please include a surface mail address so that information can be sent to you if your paper is accepted. -- Eric Allman eric@Berkeley.EDU
