PRELIMINARY Call for Participation Symposium on Experiences with Distributed and Multiprocessor Systems III (SEDMS III) Sponsored by: The Usenix Association In association with: The Software Engineering Research Center (SERC) In cooperation with: ACM SIGARCH, SIGCOMM, SIGOPS and SIGSOFT (Pending) IEEE-CS Technical Committees on Distributed Processing, Operating Systems, Software Engineering, and Design Automation (Pending) March 26-27, 1992 Newport Beach, CA Goals The goal of this symposium is to bring together individuals who have built, are building, or will soon build distributed and multiprocessor systems. SEDMS III will provide a forum for individuals to exchange information on their experiences, both good and bad, including experiences with coding aids, languages, debugging and testing technology, reuse of existing software, and performance analysis. The presentations should emphasize the lessons learned from use of such systems and tools. Extra-long breaks between sessions and work-in-progress presentations will be provided to facilitate a workshop-like atmosphere during parts of the symposium. We will also have discussion panels on submitted themes. Submissions Six copies of each submission or panel proposal should be sent to the program committee chair (address below) to arrive no later than 1 November 1991. Submissions of full papers are invited on any topics related to the theme of the symposium. The committee will give preferential consideration to submissions describing experiences with actual systems-papers describing purely theoretical work will not be accepted. Panel proposals should include a description of the relevance to the goals of the SEDMS, and the qualifications of the participants suggested. Important Dates Submissions due 1 November 1991 Notifications mailed 20 December 1991 Camera ready copy due 24 January 1992 For Further Information, contact: General Chair Program Chair _______________________ ____________________________________ George Leach Gene Spafford AT&T Paradyne Software Engineering Research Center MS LG-129 Dept. of Computer Sciences PO Box 2826 Purdue University Largo, FL 34649-2826 W.
