- I am organizing a workshop-like minitrack of the forthcoming
- Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-27).
- The topic of this minitrack is:
-
- Operating System Support
- for
- Massively Parallel Computer Architectures
-
- The focus is on:
-
- o Parallel Operating Systems
- o Distributed Microkernels
- o Dynamically Alterable System Structures
- o High Performance Communication Protocols
-
- Papers are welcome. In particular, I am seeking for papers that present
- experiences made with the use of object orientation in the design and
- development of (parallel) distributed operating systems for large-scalable
- distributed memory parallel maschines.
-
- For more informations on HICSS-27, see the enclosed official Call for
- Papers and Referees.

- Call For Papers and Referees
- in
- Parallel and Distributed Systems: From Theory to Practice
- for the
- Software Technology Track
- of the
- 27th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-27
- Maui, Hawaii - January 4-7, 1994
- ===============================
-
- This year, the Software Technology Track of HICSS-27 will be exclusively
- focussing on a broad selection of topics in the area of Parallel and
- Distributed Systems: From Theory To Practice. This particular solicitation
- for the Software Track will provide a forum to discuss new advances in
- theory, design, implementation, use, application, and performance evaluation
- of parallel and distributed systems. Papers are invited that may
- be theoretical, conceptual tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those papers
- selected for presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings.
- HICSS-27 is sponsored by the University of Hawaii in cooperation with the ACM
- and the IEEE Computer Society. The Conference Proceedings are published by
- the IEEE Computer Society. A collection of the accepted papers will be
- considered for inclusion in a separately bound volume to be determined
- (publishers and exact dates of publication) at a later time.
-
-
- 1993 Deadlines
- ==============
- o A 300-word abstract by March 15
- o Feedback to author on abstract by April 1
- o Eight copies of the manuscript by June 4
- o Notification of accepted papers by August 31
