Last call. Submissions due by Nov. 19. Researchers on 4 continents have already made submissions. Don't be left out! Call for Participation Symposium on Experiences with Distributed and Multiprocessor Systems (SEDMS) Sponsored by: The Usenix Association In association with: The NSF/Purdue/Florida Software Engineering Research Center In cooperation with: ACM SIGCOMM and SIGOPS IEEE-CS Technical Committees on Distributed Processing, Operating Systems, and Software Engineering March 21-22, 1991 Atlanta, GA Goals The goal of this symposium is to bring together individuals who have built, are building, or will soon build distributed and multiprocessor systems, especially operating systems. The symposium will feature full presentations and (perhaps) panels on aspects of building, testing, debugging, and using these systems. We will provide a forum for individuals to exchange informa- tion on their experiences, both good and bad, including experiences with coding aids, languages, distributed debugging tools, prototyping, reuse of existing software, performance analysis, and lessons learned from use of such systems. Extra-long breaks between sessions and work-in-progress presentations will be provided to facilitate a workshop-like atmosphere dur- ing the symposium. Submissions TEN copies of each submission or panel proposal should be sent to the pro- gram committee chair (address below) to arrive no later than 19 November 1990. 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 theoretical work or simulations are unlikely to 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 19 November 1990 Notifications mailed 7 January 1991 Camera ready copy due 30 January 1991 For Further Information, Contact General Chair Program Chair _______________________ ____________________________________ George Leach Gene Spafford AT&T Paradyne Software Engineering Research Center MS LG-129 Dept. of Computer Sciences PO Box 2826 Purdue University Largo, FL 34649-2826 W.
