    Supercomputing Application Environment
    Supercomputing  System Evaluation
    Supercomputing Management Issues
    Mass Storage and Supercomputers
    Technical Aspects of Products
    User Experience

POSTERS.  In addition to informal evening  poster  sessions,  an
on-line  poster  session will be scheduled where people who have
developed interesting applications will demonstrate  them  using
exhibitor equipment.

Instructions:  Contact  the  Program  Chairman  for  all  poster
proposals.  Proposals for on-line posters should be made jointly
with the collaborating exhibitor.

SUPERCOMPUTING CENTER  MANAGERS  ROUNDTABLE.   Special  informal
sessions   will  be  organized  so  that  supercomputing  center
managers can share recent progress, discuss common problems, and
consider opportunities for collaboration.
