ken@gvax.cs.cornell.edu (Ken Birman) (07/19/90)
Below is a call for papers for a conference that Keith Marzullo and
I are organizing. If you read this newsgroup and have an interesting
application, please consider writing a paper on it and submitting
something. Too many conferences stress technical material over applications
and we want to redress this in CCW 91.
Although I am posting this to comp.sys.isis and comp.os.mach, we are
definitely not looking especially for ISIS or MACH users here. We are
looking for workstation users with interesting applications or experience
to report, and I am betting that quite a number of such individuals read
these two newsgroups. I hope that you'll help prove me right!
Also, if your company makes workstations and would be interested in
exhibiting them at the conference, please drop me a note; we are
organizing a vendor exhibition as part of the program. You can also
exhibit software products, provided you bring your own machines.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Third IEEE Conference On Computer Workstations:
Accomplishments And Challenges
Sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Operating Systems
The Sea Crest Resort, Falmouth, Cape Cod (Massachusetts)
May 15 - 17, 1991
As we enter the 1990's, changes in technology will require rethinking
the role of the workstation in the computing environment. Gigabit
communication, desktop parallel computing, and multimedia applications
are now emerging. The key to effective computing in this new world is
the interface between the user and the computing environment: the
workstation. What challenges must be overcome to make effective use of
emerging technologies? CCW '91 seeks to foster dialogue between
builders of workstation-based applications and technological
innovators. Papers may focus on experiences with ambitious
applications as well as on research topics. Topics include:
* Design of workstation computing environments
* Workstation and system architecture
* Application and system management
* User interface technologies
* Exploiting parallelism
* Exploiting high bandwidth communication
* Exploiting massive memory
* Computer-aided software engineering
* Information management systems
* Real-time sensing and control
* Issues of scale
* Innovative ideas and technologies
Papers should be no longer than about 5000 words (20 double-spaced
pages), and must be received by September 15, 1990. Authors will be
notified of acceptance by December 1, 1990, and final camera--ready
copy is due by January 15, 1991. Both technical and case-study papers
are solicited; case studies should describe existing systems and
include performance or operational data where practical.
The conference will also include a poster session for discussing work
in progress. Individuals with a specific interest in participating in
the poster session are invited to submit a one-page abstract describing
their project. In addition, the program committee will invite the
authors of some of the submitted papers to present their work in the
poster session.
Send five copies of each submission to:
Prof. Keith Marzullo
Program co-chair, CCW '91
Department of Computer Science, Upson Hall
Cornell University
