		       CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

			 Second Workshop On
		   WORKSTATION OPERATING SYSTEMS

			   Sponsored by:
The IEEE Computer Society - Technical Committee on Operating Systems

	   Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA.
		       September 27-29, 1989


The Second Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems (WWOS-II)	will
bring together a number of researchers	and  developers	 to  discuss
their work and experiences in  workstation  operating  systems.	  As
workstation  technology	 and  man-machine  interfaces  advance,	 the
operating system must evolve.  Potential topic areas include:

     o New workstation operating systems

     o OS changes for the workstation environment
       (e.g. graphical interfaces)

     o Scheduling and resource management

     o Workstation architectures

     o Multi-processor considerations

To facilitate the dialog that is so valuable in a workshop  setting,
attendance will be limited  to	60  active  workers  in	 the  field.
Registration requests should be	 addressed  to	Joseph	Boykin,	 the
General Chair.	This request should  include  a	 1-3  page  position
paper describing the participant's interest  and  future  directions
related to workstations and workstation operating systems as well as
insights and lessons  gained  from  recent  research  and  practical
experience.

Those interested in presenting the results  of	their  research,  or
current work-in-progress, should submit a 3-5  page  paper  to	Luis
Felipe Cabrera.	  Papers  must	be  submitted  by  April  15,  1989.
Acceptance will be made by June 1 and final copy is due	 by  July 1,
1989.  Selection of papers will be made by the program committee:
