               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
