CALL FOR PAPERS
Following the success of previous Workshops, it has been
decided to hold a Fourth Workshop next year.
The Workshop will be held at the Pitlochry Hydro Hotel,
Pitlochry, Scotland from 16th - 20th July 1990. Attendance
will be on a similar basis to previously - that is around 35
participants selected according to qualifications as evi-
denced by a short position paper not exceeding six pages of
normal text plus a brief note on current interests and back-
ground.
The goals of the Workshop will have both short term and long
term aspects such as:
o to explore further some of the longer term issues
analysed at previous workshops which were Distribution
and Fault Tolerance, Scheduling, Time, Asynchronous
Transfer of Control and Communications,
o to review relevant Ada 9X requirements which will by
then have been consolidated and to develop proposals
for solutions,
o to develop codes of practice covering areas not requir-
ing specific language changes,
o to consider needs for secondary standards.
The physical paper copies of position papers and notes on
personal background should be sent to the address below to
arrive no later than 29th January 1990. Submitted papers
should be in a form suitable for publication.
