Call for Papers Winter 1989 USENIX Conference San Diego, California January 30 - February 3, 1989 Papers are requested for formal review as candidates for inclusion in the three day technical session at the 1989 Winter USENIX Conference. Papers that are accepted will be presented at the conference and published in the conference proceedings. The technical sessions provide a forum for the presentation of new research and development related to or based upon the UNIX operating system. Suggested topics include(but are not limited to): Performance Analysis and Tuning New User Interfaces and Applications System and Network Security Networking and Distributed Services RISC versus CISC in UNIX Software and System Management tools Standards Graphics and Electronic Publishing Evolution of UNIX for the 1990's All papers should describe new and interesting work. Accep- tance or rejection of a paper will be based completely on the work submitted at the deadline. Submitted papers should consist of a 100 to 300 word abstract in addition to the main body of the paper. Extended abstracts will be condi- tionally accepted but full papers are preferred. Papers accepted on extended abstracts that do not meet the promise of the abstract will be rejected. Each paper should discuss how this work relates to prior work and provide sufficient detail in the presentation of background material and work to allow referees to perform a comparison consistent with other submitted papers. Concise references of related work should also be included as appropriate. Full papers should be 6-12 single spaced typeset pages and include any abstract, references, or illustrations. For the review pro- cess you should submit the highest quality copy you can create. Laser printer output is recommended. The exact for- mat for final papers will be sent to authors of accepted papers. Four hard copies and one electronic copy of each submitted paper or extended abstract must arrive no later than October 7, 1988; this is an absolute deadline. Papers received after that date will not be considered. Papers which clearly do not meet USENIX's standards for applicability, originality, completeness or page length may be rejected with no review. Authors will receive official notification no later than November 4, 1988, and final versions of the papers are due by December 5, 1988.
