Folks,
Enclosed is a CFP for a minitrack that Barney Maccabe and I are
running at the next HICSS. We cordially invite you to submit a paper
or consider being a referee for us. C'mon out and visit Maui!

-- Call For Papers and Referees in The Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems Minitrack of the 29th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-29 Maui, Hawaii - January 3-6, 1996 ********************************************************************* We are seeking manuscripts and referees for our minitrack in Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems at HICSS-29. We are especially interested in papers in the following areas: o heterogeneous multiprocessor operating systems: program representation for multiple architectures, architecture-independent operating system services, and scheduling in heterogeneous distributed systems; o low-overhead protocols for high-speed networks: ATM networks, lightweight remote procedure call, and active messages; o parallel operating systems in general: support for repartitionable parallel architectures, parallel operating system structure, message-passing operating systems, and locking mechanisms; o distributed operating systems in general: microkernel organization, distributed deadlock detection, distributed mutual exclusion, and transaction support; o distributed shared memory: coherency mechanisms, scalable approaches to DSM, and single address space operating systems; o cache coherency in multiprocessor systems: operating system support for extensible caching policies, and new cache coherence protocols; o and scheduling in multiprocessor systems: local and global scheduling, dynamic and static scheduling, and scheduling for meta-systems. Those papers selected for presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society. We are finalizing arrangements for the best papers from this minitrack to appear in a special issue of IEEE Parallel and Distributed Technology. Submit your 300-word (one page) abstract to Steve Chapin (see address below). Persons interested in refereeing in these areas should contact the minitrack coordinators directly. Electronic submission of PostScript or ASCII abstracts is preferred. Details on submissions of full papers will be released at a later date. COORDINATORS ------------ Steve J.
