Call for Participation
Workshop on Experiences with Building
Distributed (and Multiprocessor) Systems
Sponsored by: The Usenix Association
In association with:
The NSF/Purdue/Florida Software Engineering Research Center
In cooperation with:
ACM SIGOPS and SIGSOFT (pending)
IEEE-CS Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (pending)
October 5-6, 1989 Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Goals
The goal of this workshop is to bring together individuals who have built,
are building, or will soon build distributed and multiprocessor systems,
especially operating systems. The workshop will feature full presentations,
panels, work-in-progress presentations, and possibly tutorials on aspects of
building and testing these systems. The workshop will provide a forum for
individuals to exchange information on their experiences, both good and bad,
in designing, building, and testing their systems. This includes experi-
ences with coding aids, languages, distributed debugging tools, prototyping,
reuse of existing software, performance analysis, and lessons learned from
use of such systems.
Submissions
Ten copies of each submission should be mailed to the program committee
chair (address below) no later than 1 June 1989. Submissions are invited on
any topics related to the topics of the workshop and may be as papers or as
extended abstracts, although the program committee will give preferential
consideration to full papers. Furthermore, the committee will give pre-
ferential consideration to submissions describing experiences with actual
systems-papers describing theoretical work or simulations will be considered
last.
Panels and Tutorials
Suggestions for panel sessions and tutorials, including recommended partici-
pants, should be mailed to the program chair no later than 1 May 1989. Such
submissions should include a description of the relevance to the goals of
the workshop, and the qualifications of the participants suggested.
Important Dates
Panel & Tutorial proposals 1 May 1989
Paper submissions 1 June 1989
Program Committee decisions 14 July 1989
Camera ready copy due 1 August 1989
Workshop 5-6 October 1989

ACM Computer Science Conference
Call for Participation
The ACM Computer Science Conference provides a forum for the transfer
and exchange of information in three contexts:
* Between experts or specialists in one area of computer science
and others whose specialties are marginally related or somewhat
affected by results in the first area. Communication is between
researchers in different, though possibly overlapping domains. SURVEY
PAPERS of some depth are suitable submissions.
* Among specialists in areas of computer science either too new
or too narrowly focused to have its own conference. The CSC provides
an opportunity for such researchers to meet and for others to hear of
their work. RESEARCH PAPERS, POSTER SESSION participation, and birds
of a feather sessions in the specialty area are complemented by other
CSC events: the TURING lecture, ACM awards, EXHIBITS by publishers and
vendors of computing hardware and software, and the employment
register.
* Finally, the CSC is an opportunity to gain exposure to
current research in a number of CS areas, for general interest and
knowledge updating.
