DMCC5 Call For Participation
============================
The Fifth Distributed Memory Computing Conference (DMCC5) is
a continuation of the highly successful Hypercube Concurrent Computers and
Applications (HCCA) conference series. DMCC5 will preserve the spirit of
the preceding HCCA conferences, providing a forum in which researchers
in the field of distributed memory computing from government, academia, and
industry can present results, and exchange ideas and information. Although
the conference series will continue to play an important role in the
development and use of large grain-size, distributed memory, MIMD concurrent
computers, DMCC5 will also explicitly include SIMD machines, thereby covering
the whole class of distributed memory computers.
For further information about registration and participation please contact:
Ms. Jane W. Squires,
DMCC5 Administrator,
Department of Mathematics,
University of South Carolina,
Columbia, SC 29208.
Phone: (803) 777-7660
LOCATION: Charleston, South Carolina
DATE: April 9-12, 1990
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of Interest
==================
DMCC5 will cover all topics of interest in
the field of distributed memory computing. Topics include, but are not
limited to, the following;
Architectures Load Balancing
Artificial Intelligence Matrix Algorithms
Compilers Neural Networks
Concurrent Languages Non-numerical Algorithms
Fault Tolerance Operating Systems
Image Processing Programming Environments
Large-scale Applications Vision
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contributed Papers
==================
Authors are invited to submit contributed papers
covering any aspect of hardware, software (both systems and tools),
applications, programming environments, algorithms, or parallelization tools
for distributed memory concurrent computers.
Contributed papers must describe original and previously unpublished
work, and make a significant contribution to the understanding of the
design and/or use of distributed memory concurrent computers.
All contributed papers presented at the conference will be
published in the Conference Proceedings.
Instructions
============
(1) Submit 3 copies of an extended abstract of approximately 4 pages.
Abstracts should include a succinct statement of the problems
that are considered in the paper, the main results achieved, an
explanation of the significance of the work, and a comparison with
past research. To ensure a high academic standard the abstracts
of all contributed papers submitted will be refereed.
(2) Submit 2 copies of a short abstract of no more than 1 page.
If the paper is accepted this abstract will appear in the
Book of Abstracts that will be distributed at the conference.
Please use a 10 point Computer Modern Roman font,
and leave a margin of at least one inch to the left and right of
the text.
(3) In the case of multiple authors indicate who will make the presentation.
Include the complete mailing address (and email address) of the author
to be notified.
(4) Papers authored solely by students will be eligible for student prizes,
and should be labeled as a student paper.
(5) Abstracts should be sent to:
Drs. David Walker and Quentin Stout,
DMCC5 Abstracts,
Department of Mathematics,
University of South Carolina,
Columbia, SC 29208.

Posters
=======
Poster presentations are intended to provide a more informal forum in which
to present work-in-progress, updates to previously published work, and
contributions not suited for oral presentation.
Posters sessions have played an important role in the success of previous
HCCA conferences, and are regarded as of equal importance to
contributed sessions. All accepted posters will appear in the Conference
Proceedings.
Instructions
============
(1) Submit 4 copies of a short abstract of no more than 1 page.
If the paper is accepted this abstract will appear in the
Book of Abstracts that will be distributed at the conference.
Please use a 10 point Computer Modern Roman font,
and leave a margin of at least one inch to the left and right of
the text.
(2) Abstracts should be sent to:
Drs. David Walker and Quentin Stout,
DMCC5 Abstracts,
Department of Mathematics,
University of South Carolina,
Columbia, SC 29208.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadlines
=========
The deadline for submission of abstracts for contributed papers and poster
presentations is November 15, 1989. Contributors will be notified
of acceptance by January 10, 1990. Final papers in camera-ready form are to
be handed in at the conference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reasearch Exhibits
==================
Some space will be available for exhibiting non-commercial products
of relevance to distributed memory computing. Researchers wishing to exhibit
their work must provide 2 copies of a short abstract conforming to the
specifications given above for poster presentations. In addition, a description
of the equipment to be used must also be provided. The abstracts and
description of equipment should be sent before November 15 to:
Ms. Jane W. Squires,
DMCC5 Administrator,
Department of Mathematics,
University of South Carolina,
Columbia, SC 29208.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Student Awards
==============
Student participation in DMCC5 will be encouraged by reduced registration
and accommodation rates, and by a student paper competition. An award
of $500 will be made for the best paper in each of the following
three categories: applications, systems software, and hardware. For a
paper to be eligible for the Student Paper Competition it must be
authored solely by students, and be accepted as a contributed paper.
To be entered in the competition the paper should be submitted as a
contributed paper as described above, and the extended abstract should
be labeled "Student Paper". Prizes will be awarded at the Conference
Banquet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tutorials
=========
Pre-conference tutorials will be held on Sunday, April 8. Those interested
in conducting a half-day tutorial should submit a proposal before
August 15, 1989. Notification of acceptance will be given before September
15, 1989. The proposal must include a description of the intended
audience, an abstract, a course outline, recommended reading, and special
equipment required. Proposals should be sent to:
Dr. George Johnson,
DMCC5 Tutorials,
Department of Mathematics,
University of South Carolina,
Columbia, SC 29208.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mini-Symposia
=============
Some time will be reserved for mini-symposia on topics of particular interest.
Those interested in organizing a mini-symposium should submit a proposal
before August 15, 1989. Notification of acceptance will be given before
September 15, 1989. The proposal must include a description of the intended
audience, an abstract, and the length of the mini-symposium. Mini-symposia
