NOVEMBER 13-17, 1989 RENO/SPARKS CONVENTION CENTER RENO, NEVADA Supercomputing '89 continues the tradition established at the '88 Conference and will bring together supercomputing system researchers, designers, managers, and computational scientists and engineers to report advances and experiences, state needs, suggest future directions and exchange information. It will include a technical program of invited and contributed papers, tutorials, poster sessions, vendor and research exhibits, and product briefings and demonstrations. Sponsored by: ACM SIGARCH and Computer Society of the IEEE In cooperation with: Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, NASA Ames Research Center, National Center for Atmospheric Research, National Science Foundation, SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing, and the Supercomputing Research Center Topics of Interest Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: computational science and engineering applications, parallel and distributed processing, the impact of new technology on the future of supercomputing, supercomputing environment, high performance architectures, supercomputing systems evaluation, systems software and languages, supercomputing management issues, technical aspects of products, user experiences. Papers Authors are invited to submit papers which report concrete results and experiences. Papers reporting important negative results are also encouraged. Referee's selection criteria will include originality, clarity, and relevance. Requirements Papers must be original material not previously published. Papers must be submitted without conditions; authors must obtain any necessary approvals and/or clearances prior to submission. Copyright release will be required. Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for retyping corrected papers on special forms to be provided and for preparing visual material for their presentations using guidelines to be provided. Camera-ready copy is due August 15, 1989. Instructions Submit five copies to the Program Chairperson by May 1, 1989. Papers must be in English, typed double-spaced, and not exceed 25 pages (about 5,000 words). Papers must have: a title page that lists the name, mailing and electronic address, and telephone number for each author, an abstract, keywords and the presentation media requirements. For multiple author papers, identify the corresponding author and the presenting author. Posters Authors who prefer an informal environment that fosters interaction with the conference attendees are encouraged to submit poster proposals. A book of abstracts of poster presentations will be available at the conference. Requirements concise statement of the problem and the results should be a conspicuous part of the display. Authors will be expected to make themselves available to the audience for approximately two hours, during which time they explain their work and discuss it in depth. Authors of accepted posters will be responsible for supplying a camera-ready abstract (not to exceed 100 words) by August 15, 1989. Instructions Submit five copies of the poster proposal to the Program Chairperson by June 1, 1989. The proposal should not exceed five pages (about 1,000 words). Other aspects of the proposal should conform to the instructions for submission of papers, as listed above. Vendor Exhibits An opportunity exists for vendors to exhibit their supercomputing technology during three days of Supercomputing '89. Interested parties should contact the Exhibits Chairperson as soon as possible to arrange for floor space. Research Exhibits A limited amount of space will be set aside at Supercomputing '89 to allow researchers to set up and exhibit or demonstrate their work. Research exhibits will provide a joint opportunity--an opportunity for the researcher to demonstrate his or her work to a broader audience of potentially interested users and an opportunity for the conference attendees to see a broad range ofsupercomputing-oriented research which represents some of the important technical directions of the future. The possibility exists that, by special arrangement, research exhibitors may be able to make use of equipment on display at the vendor exhibit.) Requirements Research exhibitors should provide a description of their exhibit/demonstration including: the type of audience expected; required facilities; organizational affiliation of exhibitors and acknowledgement of research sponsors; acknowledgement of responsibility for (a) staffing the exhibit during conference hours (unless the exhibit is totally static and self-explanatory) and (b) transportation of the exhibit to and from the conference, as well as all expenses associated with setup and teardown. Instructions Submit a brief proposal to the Exhibits Chairperson as soon as possible, but not later than March 31, 1989. Tutorials The traditional half-day or full-day lecture style presentation with view-graphs distributed to attendees. Instructions Submit proposal by February 28, 1989 to Tutorials Chairperson.Include a succinct description of intended audience, abstract and lecture outline with view-graphs (if not yet available, state when will be available), and vita with three references who are familiar with your lecturing ability. Extended Tutorials Provide an opportunity for a mini-course introduction to a topic. The course begins before the conference with advanced mailing of course material. The organizer will receive a list of attendees and their biographies ahead of time and have an opportunity to "tune" the course to their needs. This is intended to be a long day of intense learning and exploration. Instructions Submit proposal by February 28, 1989 to Tutorials Chairperson. Include succinct course objectives, targeted participants characteristics, references to be distributed, vita and related teaching experience of organizer. Workshops Workshops are of the "birds-of-a-feather" variety, where registrants participate in an interactive workshop environment. The organizer is a participant/facilitator rather than a lecturer. Instructions Submit proposal by April 30, 1989 to Tutorials Chairperson. Include a sampling of co-workers in their field, suggestions for invitees, organizers, contributions/role in the field and vita. Committee Chairpersons: General Chairperson F.
