Announcing an INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP on NETWORK AND OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL AUDIO AND VIDEO November 8-9, 1990 International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) Berkeley, California, USA The trend towards powerful workstations and high-speed net- works has enabled applications to communicate and manipulate digital audio and video (``continuous media''). Continuous media differ from other media in that they have stringent delay and bandwidth requirements. The mechanisms used to transport ordinary data over networks are insufficient for communicating continuous media. Special operating systems support must also be provided to meet the requirements of continuous media applications. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers in networks and operating systems to discuss the needs of con- tinuous media applications and how they may be satisfied. To foster discussion, attendance will be limited to 50 peo- ple. Submission of abstracts Participants must send a 500-2000 word abstract (in raw, unformatted text) describing their technical work to ``av-workshop@Berkeley.EDU''. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. If electronic submission is impossi- ble, participants may send their abstracts to: Ramesh Govin- dan, International Computer Science Institute, 1947 Center Street, Suite 600, Berkeley, CA 94704, U.S.A. Schedule Submission of abstracts due: August 15, 1990 Acceptance notification: September 15, 1990 Notification of program to participants: September 30, 1990 Registration deadline: November 1, 1990 Program Committee David Anderson (UC Berkeley and ICSI) Lester Ludwig (Bellcore) Steve Casner (ISI) Radu Popescu-Zeletin (GMD-FOKUS) Domenico Ferrari (UC Berkeley and ICSI) Daniel Swinehart (Xerox PARC) Andy Hopper (U Cambridge and Olivetti) Masahiro Taka (NTT) Francis Leung (AT&T Bell Labs) Hideyuki Tokuda (Carnegie-Mellon) Venue The workshop is sponsored by and will be held at the Inter- national Computer Science Institute (ICSI).
