Dear Friends:
With the sponsorship of the technical committee on Distributed Processing of
the IEEE Computer Society and in cooperation with the Usenix Association, I
have been asked to organize a workshop on Experimental Distributed Systems.
This workshop will be held on October 11-12, 1990 in Huntsville, Alabama in
conjunction with the Ninth IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems
(see page 54 of the IEEE Computer, January, 1990).
The workshop will cover experiences, performance, and observations obtained
from current efforts in distributed systems around the world in academia and
industry. A similar workshop was held in October 1986 and resulted in a
special issue of IEEE Transaction on Software Engineering (June 1989).
Please submit 10 copies of a 2 page extended abstract to:
Professor Bharat Bhargava
Department of Computer Science
Purdue University
West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA
by April 1, 1990. This abstract will be used to invite speakers
and participants to this limited attendance workshop.
The program committee for the workshop is as follows: Calton Pu
(Columbia), Ken Birman (Cornell), Satish Tripathi (Maryland)?, George
Leach (AT&T, Paradyne), Gene Spafford (Purdue), John Riedl (Minnesota),
Prasun Dewan (Purdue), Kane Kim (UC-Irvine), Terje Fallmyr (Univ. of
Tromso, Norway), Roger Shultz (Rockwell Intl.)?, Yosef Khalidi (SUN
Microsystems)?, and Hugh Lauer (Kodak)?. Extended papers based on the
submission and workshop will be considered for publication in the
newsletter of the Technical Committee on Distributed Processing, Proceedings
of the workshop, and special issue of a journal.
Sincerely,
Bharat Bhargava
Professor
