[comp.misc] Course/Conference Suggestions?

tpc@bmerh195.bnr.ca (Thomas P. Chmara) (03/09/91)

I've seen too many people passing by headed for interesting technical
conferences/courses on Mach, on distributed systems, etc.  Most of them just
seemed to be in the right place at the right time to find out about them.
I watch news.announce.conferences sporadically, but don't see anything
particularly relevant.  Our management appears to view USENIX as more
of a conference and less of a course, and hence is reluctant to send me
to many USENIXes.  Sigh.
	I'm currently doing a UNIX port to a proprietary platform, so
I have a reasonable level of technical knowledge about kernel internals;
mind you, I'd love:
	- courses on MACH, OSF/1, etc. (please, *technical content*,
	  not marketdroid material);
	- courses on distributed processing, multithreaded execution,
	  multiprocessor/multithreaded/distributed kernels
	- courses on new VM developments (e.g. techniques for implementing
	  shared libraries, COW, etc)
I'd have the most luck (or any luck) with north american courses.

Does anyone have ideas regarding what's available, or better yet, where
to look?
	Thanks for your kind assistance...
