CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Second Workshop On
WORKSTATION OPERATING SYSTEMS
Sponsored by:
The IEEE Computer Society - Technical Committee on Operating Systems
Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA.
September 27-29, 1989
The Second Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems (WWOS-II) will
bring together a number of researchers and developers to discuss
their work and experiences in workstation operating systems. As
workstation technology and man-machine interfaces advance, the
operating system must evolve. Potential topic areas include:
o New workstation operating systems
o OS changes for the workstation environment (e.g. graphical
interfaces)
o Scheduling and resource management
o Workstation architectures
o Multi-processor considerations
To facilitate the dialog that is so valuable in a workshop setting,
attendance will be limited to 60 active workers in the field.
Registration requests should be addressed to Joseph Boykin, the
General Chair. This request should include a 1-3 page position
paper describing the participant's interest and future directions
related to workstations and workstation operating systems as well as
insights and lessons gained from recent research and practical
experience.
Those interested in presenting the results of their research, or
current work-in-progress, should submit a 3-5 page paper to Luis
Felipe Cabrera. Papers must be submitted by April 15, 1989.
Acceptance will be made by June 1 and final copy is due by July 1,
1989. Selection of papers will be made by the program committee:
David Anderson, UC Berkeley
Kenneth Birman, Cornell University
