Announcing an
INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
on
NETWORK AND OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT
FOR DIGITAL AUDIO AND VIDEO
November 8-9, 1990
International Computer Science Institute (ICSI)
Berkeley, California, USA
The trend towards powerful workstations and high-speed net-
works has enabled applications to communicate and manipulate
digital audio and video (``continuous media''). Continuous
media differ from other media in that they have stringent
delay and bandwidth requirements. The mechanisms used to
transport ordinary data over networks are insufficient for
communicating continuous media. Special operating systems
support must also be provided to meet the requirements of
continuous media applications.
This workshop is intended to bring together researchers in
networks and operating systems to discuss the needs of con-
tinuous media applications and how they may be satisfied.
To foster discussion, attendance will be limited to 50 peo-
ple.
Submission of abstracts
Participants must send a 500-2000 word abstract (in raw,

ble, participants may send their abstracts to: Ramesh Govin-
dan, International Computer Science Institute, 1947 Center
