CALL FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS Supercomputing '88 November 14-18, 1988 Hyatt Orlando Kissimmee, Florida Sponsored by: Computer Society of the IEEE and ACM SIGARCH 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; Supercomputing Research Center The Program Committee of the Supercomputing '88 Conference invites authors to submit proposals for Poster Presentations at the conference. The Poster Sessions are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday evenings (November 15 and 17). They will be held in a large ballroom where the conference will provide free refreshments and will arrange for a cash bar. We intend that the result will be an environment where the conference attendees can carry on informal discussions with the poster authors, and will be encouraged to interact informally with each other. Authors with work of interest to the attendees (who are expected to include scientist users of supercomputers, algorithm developers, computer architects, computer scientists, and supercomputing center managers) should send their proposals to the Program Chairman. The proposals will be reviewed for technical content, appropriateness to the conference, and probable interest to the attendees. The best proposals will be accepted for presentation, consistent with available space. Abstracts of poster presentations will be printed for handout at the conference. CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS Keynote Speaker: Seymore Cray, Cray Research Banquet Speaker: Carl Conti, Sr. Vice President, IBM Plenary Speaker: Carl Ledbetter, ETA Technical Program; Tutorials Vendor Exhibits; Research Demonstrations Visualization Theatre; Poster Presentations 19th Annual ACM North American Chess Championship POSTER PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS Authors must make themselves available to the audience for approximately two hours, during which time they explain their work and discuss it in depth. Authors should utilize visual aids, such as illustrations on 8.5"x11" sheets for mounting on a corkboard approximately 4'x6', or on flip charts for mounting on easels approximately 27"x34". Poster Presentations foster interaction between authors and attendees and enable attendees to review the material at their own pace. Guidelines Poster Presentations should be based on displayed materials. A concise statement of the problem and the results should be a conspicuous part of the display. The display should take advantage of the fact that the presentation need not be "linearly ordered" as a talk or written paper must be. For example, arrows directing the viewer to various parts of the display and color coding of different aspects of the work may be used to advantage. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Send an abstract (not to exceed 100 words) to be received by the Program Chairman by SEPTEMBER 1, 1988. Please state the problems to be addressed, their relevance, the methodology, and results. References, if necessary, should be in the body of the abstract. The abstract title should be underlined. The abstract should be typed with an elite typing element, flush left, single-spaced in a single column (column width of 4.25".) Double space between the title and the body of the abstract. Double space between the body of the abstract and the name and affiliation of the author(s) which is also single spaced. Abstracts of proposals accepted will be printed as received. IMPORTANT: Abstracts must be mailed unfolded! On a separate sheet of paper, include (a) the author(s) names, affiliation, mailing address, phone number and electronic mail address, (b) general topic (such as architecture, algorithm, performance measurement, ...), (c) specify what poster presentation equipment is desired (corkboard, easel for flip chart, none). Poster proposals may be submitted electronically. Send your proposals to be received by the Program Chair by September 1. Stephen F. Lundstrom Supercomputing '88 Program Chair ERL 455 Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 (415) 723-0140 lundstrom@sierra.stanford.edu (arpanet address)

I hate to report this, but Richard Stallman will not be able to attend Supercomputing'88. I was asked to report this by the Program Chair George Michael. I hope we can get a representative of the FSF (Free Software Foundation) as a contrast to the (somewhat stuffy) sales personnel of "major" computer manufacturers.
