      EurOpen Spring 1993 Conference & Exhibition


      Seville, Spain


      3 - 7 May, 1993

      -----------------------------------------------------------------

      Call for Papers


      The UUES (Spanish UNIX User Group) will host the 24th
      EurOpen Conference and Exhibition in Seville, Spain, on 3rd-7th May
      1993.


      The event is centred on a Conference,  Exhibition and Associated
      Tutorials, dedicated to UNIX and Open systems.

      The three day Conference with local commercial Exhibition will take
      place on 5th, 6th and 7th May.  It will be preceded by 2 days of
      Tutorials on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th May.

      A pre-Conference registration pack containing detailed information will
      be available early in 1993.


      The theme of the Seville Conference is:

      "Open Systems from the desktop to the machine room:  the new challenge"

      Many believe that UNIX can provide a single open environment for
      machines from desktop size to mainframes and super-computers.  However
      it is uncertain that UNIX will sustain its current moderate penetration
      in the desktop market,  and some commercial DP and MIS departments have
      been slow to adopt UNIX.    Remaining sufficiently open presents a new
      challenge to the UNIX community.

      One of the attractions of UNIX is reputedly the ability to easily
      migrate applications between various hardware bases.   This includes
      the possibility to migrate from large centralised systems across to
      distributed client-server environments,  including desktop support.
      Once again, openness and portability are critical issues.

      Within the UNIX community itself,  there is significant interest in the
      possibility of small microkernels providing a flexible replacement for
      monolithic UNIX environments.   Such flexibility may be the key to
      providing growth from small systems to very large ones,  particularly
      multi-computers.    They may also be a basis towards openness for non-
      UNIX operating systems by providing a multi-faceted environment within
      a single machine.

      A consequence of openness in approach is that users can acquire and
      understand UNIX at limited cost.   In practice this not only results
      from using a desktop,  rather than a mainframe,  machine,  but also
      from the availability of public domain as well as proprietary software,
      and low cost UNIX implementations.  Training and support must likewise
      be open, in the sense that they must be sufficiently flexible to meet
      the highly varied requirement of end users.


      The Programme Committee would be delighted to receive paper
      submissions addressing any of the above issues,  from a market or
      technical perspective.


      Important Dates:


      25th October 1992         Deadline for receipt of full papers,  or
                                extended abstracts,  by the Secretariat.


      29th November 1992        Notification to authors of the     Programme
                                Committees decision


      29th January 1993         Deadline for receipt of the final paper.


      Submission of Papers
      --------------------
      Paper submissions should identify the author(s) and the organisation(s)
      to which they belong.   A submission should include a draft of the
      complete paper (5 to 10 pages),  or at least an extended abstract (at
      least 2 pages).   Each will be examined on the basis of its
      originality,  clarity,  technical quality,  and adherence to the
      general theme of the conference.


      The Programme Committee wishes to include both technical papers,  and
      syntheses of different approaches.   The quality of the Conference
      depends to a large extent on the quality of the presentations and
      papers:  authors are thus strongly encouraged to supply a complete
      version of their text as soon as possible.


      Submissions should be sent direct to the EurOpen Secretariat.


      Tutorials :

      The Tutorials will provide attendees with information on specific
      topics.  Their purpose will be to present the state of the art in
      important areas of Open Systems.  The Tutorials will be led by experts
      of National and International fame.

      Those interested in offering a Tutorial should contact the EurOpen
      Tutorial Executive as soon as possible.
