CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ACM/ONR
WORKSHOP ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED DEBUGGING
May 20-21, 1991
Santa Cruz, California
ACM SIGPLAN and SIGOPS, and the Office of Naval Research, are
sponsoring a workshop on parallel and distributed debugging. The
workshop will bring together researchers, system designers, and imple-
mentors in a common forum to discuss program monitoring and debugging
for parallel and distributed systems. The workshop will consist of
technical sessions, where participants make short formal presentations
of their current work, and panel discussions, where specific topics of
general interest or controversy can be explored in detail. Topics of
specific interest include (but are not limited to):
+ methodological issues - interactive debugging, execution tracing
and animation;
+ debugging large, parallel, scientific applications;
+ static (source-based) analysis techniques, and dynamic (trace-
based) analysis techniques;
+ impact of programming language semantics on debugging;
+ user interfaces and programming environments for debugging;
+ temporal issues - real-time constraints, race condition detec-
tion, event ordering;
+ architecture, operating system, and protocol support for parallel
or distributed debugging;
+ debugging real-time systems;
+ debugging as part of reliable system design.
Attendance will be limited to approximately 60 active researchers
in the field. To participate, please submit a 5 page, double spaced
(firm limit) extended abstract. Attendance at the workshop will be by
invitation based on the submitted extended abstracts.
Participants will be expected to submit a complete paper to
appear in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings will be distri-
buted to all attendees at the workshop, and will appear as a special
issue of SIGPLAN Notices. A summary of the workshop will appear in
SIGOPS Operating Systems Review.
