[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Workstation OS

UH2@PSUVM.BITNET (Lee Sailer) (02/03/89)

This appeared on another group, and I thought perhaps some of the Amiga
technical community might want to see it.  Commodore, it seems to me
that you could enhance the overall image by sending one of your people who
best interacts with academics...

                        CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                          Second Workshop On

                    WORKSTATION OPERATING SYSTEMS


                            Sponsored by:
 The IEEE Computer Society - Technical Committee on Operating Systems


            Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA.
                        September 27-29, 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:
