    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:

extensions to existing techniques, and practical original case studies are
welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
 
Understanding the behavior and evaluating the performance of:
o Communications networks     o Fast packet switching    o Memory systems

                                              reliability management
 
Paper publication is very competitive; usually less than 25% of submissions
are accepted. All papers will be refereed by members of the program committee
who are most familiar with the topic and by outside referees. A limited
number of submitted papers will be accepted for a poster session.  Authors
wishing to have their work considered for only the poster session may submit
extended abstracts.  Extended abstracts of the poster sessions will be
included in the proceedings. We are also soliciting proposals for
1.5-hour and 4-hour tutorials on June 1 and 2. For more information
contact either the Program Co-Chairs or the Tutorial Chair.
 
Full paper submissions should not exceed 20 doubled-spaced pages; extended
abstracts for poster sessions should be 3-5 pages. Six copies of the full
papers and extended abstracts are required. Author identification, including
affiliation, address, phone number, and electronic mail address should appear
on a separate cover sheet and NOT within the paper itself.  Tutorial proposals
should be 1-2 pages and may be submitted electronically.

                               Call for Papers

             Third Workshop on Computer Security Incident Handling
____________________________________________________________________________


Location and Dates:

Hyatt Dulles                                     August 6-8, 1991
At Dulles International Airport
Herndon, Virginia


Description:

The Third Workshop on Computer Security Incident Handling will consist
of tutorials, invited addresses, paper sessions, and workshop/
discussion sessions on topics relevant to responding to computer
security incidents. The presentations will provide a forum to discuss
advances in theory and practice that improve the state of this field.
Theoretical, applied, tutorial, or descriptive papers selected for
presentation will appear in the conference proceedings to be published
after the Workshop.  The Third Workshop on Computer Security Incident
Handling is sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University's Software
Engineering Institute.  Submissions are solicited for the following
sessions:

Tutorials (half-day):

Tutorials should cover topics such as network security and
methodologies/strategies for incident handling.  The purpose of each
tutorial should be to allow someone who has little or no knowledge
about incident handling to learn the basic issues/concepts in this
arena.

Paper Sessions:

Proposals for paper sessions (approximately 30 minutes in length)
should address one of the following areas:

   o Network intrusions (including case studies, etiologies, and 
       intrusion detection efforts)
   o Vendor activities
   o Procedures and policies for responding to incidents
   o Threats (including threat and attack models, descriptions of 
       coordinated efforts to intrude into networks, and cracking tools)
   o Legal issues
   o Tools
   o Vulnerabilities and malicious code
   o Ethical issues

Workshops (half-day):

Proposals to lead workshop sessions covering topics such as network 
security, relationships between incident response teams, and lessons 
learned from responding to incidents are also solicited.

Submissions:

Proposals should be 300 - 500 words in length. Please do not send
submissions that are significantly shorter or longer.  Papers must not
have been previously presented or published, nor currently submitted
for journal publication. Each manuscript will be submitted to a
rigorous refereeing process.  Proposals should have a title page that
includes the title of the paper, full name of its author(s),
affiliation(s), complete physical and electronic address(es), telephone
number(s), and a 300-500 word description of the purpose and major
ideas to be presented.

Deadlines:

May 17, 1991
Deadline for receipt of proposal

June 7, 1991 
Notification of accepted proposals

July 15, 1991
Camera-ready manuscripts must be received
