Announcing a Workshop for POSIX
(IEEE Std. 1003.1) System Implementors
The Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology at the Nation-
al Bureau of Standards (NBS) announces a workshop to discuss im-
plementation issues related to the POSIX Standard, which has been
proposed as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). To
assure compatibility/interoperability, NBS has reviewed and
analyzed the options that are available for implementing the
Standard, and has selected options that will be proposed as part
of the Federal Standard. At the workshop, NBS will present the
proposed specification and participants will be invited to ex-
press their views.
The workshop will be held October 20-21 at a hotel in the
Rockville- Gaithersburg area. Attendance is limited by space re-
quirements and the size of the conference facility; therefore,
registration is on a first come, first served basis with recom-
mended limitation of two participants per company. A registra-
tion fee will be charged for attending the workshop. Partici-
pants are expected to make their own travel arrangements and ac-
commodations. NBS reserves the right to cancel any part of the
workshop.
To register for the workshop, companies may contact: POSIX
Workshop, Attn: Debbie Jackson, National Bureau of Standards,
Building 225, Room B-252, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. Telephone:
301/975-3295.
The registration request must name the company representative(s)
and specify the business address and telephone number for each
participant. An NBS representative will confirm workshop regis-
tration reservations by telephone. For additional information,
contact D. Richard Kuhn, 301/975-3337.

POSIX Portability Workshop
Berkeley Marina Marriott
October 22-23, 1987
This USENIX workshop will bring together system and application
implementors faced with the problems, "challenges," and other
considerations that arise from attempting to make their products
compliant with IEEE Standard 1003.1. The first day of the workshop
will consist of presentations of brief position papers describing
experiences, dilemmas, and solutions. On the second day it is
planned to form smaller focus groups to brainstorm additional
solutions, dig deeper into specific areas, and attempt to forge
common approaches to some of the dilemmas.
