                        PRELIMINARY CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
                 SECOND WORKSHOP ON LARGE GRAINED PARALLELISM
                              OCTOBER 11-14, 1987
                          HIDDEN VALLEY, PENNSYLVANIA

Organized  by the Software Engineering Institute and the Department of
Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University,  with  the  cooperation  of
the  Computer Society of the IEEE (pending approval).

The  Second  Workshop  on Large Grained Parallelism is being organized to
bring together researchers in the areas of programming languages,
methodologies,  and formalisms   for   loosely-coupled   computer
networks,   and  developers  of applications who would benefit from such
work. Issues of interest within  these areas  include, but are not limited
to, performance, fault tolerance, real-time execution, and heterogeneity of
the environment.

Attendance is by invitation only. Researchers interested in participating
must submit five (5) copies of a short (1 or 2 pages long) abstract
describing their activities in the areas of interest outlined above.

The workshop technical  sessions  will  consist  of  a  combination  of
formal presentations, panel sessions, and working group meetings. Only a
subset of the participants will address the audience in the formal
sessions.    All  of  the abstracts  will be published as conference
proceedings and will be available to the participants upon arrival.   The
participants  will  have  the  option  of submitting  a  revised  version
of  their  abstracts  a few weeks prior to the meeting.
