IEEE-USM BRANCH
Valparaiso, CHILE
June 1989
INTRODUCTION
Computers have become so much part of our society, that they
are now playing an important role in the direction of its
evolution. Such transcendental importance invites both, com-
puter scientists and computer vendors, to search for new
ways of improving computers.
The USM-IEEE Student Branch and the Department of Electron-
ics of the Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria are organ-
izing this First International Conference on Advanced Com-
puting, aiming to provide means for spreading the knowledge
that will further enable that search.
This first conference will be devoted to the UNIX operating
system and related topics. This subject was chosen to estab-
lish the universal character of this event, as UNIX is now
considered.
CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES
Technical Sessions
Technical sessions will provide a forum for the presen-
tation of new research and development, related to or
