                                 3rd ACM/ONR
                WORKSHOP ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED DEBUGGING
                               May 17-18, 1993
                            San Diego, California

     ACM SIGPLAN and SIGOPS, and the Office of Naval Research (approval  pend-
ing),  are  sponsoring  a workshop on parallel and distributed debugging.  The
workshop will bring together researchers, system designers,  and  implementors
in a common forum to discuss program monitoring and debugging for parallel and
distributed systems.  The workshop will consist of technical  sessions,  where
selected  participants  make short formal presentations of their current work,
and panel discussions, where specific topics of general  interest  or  contro-
versy can be explored in detail.  Topics of specific interest include (but are
not limited to):

o    static analysis and dynamic analysis techniques;

o    race detection;

o    visualization, auralization, and animation;

o    temporal issues - issues in time and ordering;

o    debugging parallelized code;

o    new debugging techniques and paradigms;

o    system descriptions of interesting research or commercial debuggers;

o    experiences in debugging large, parallel, scientific applications;

o    debugging real-time systems.

     Attendance will be limited to approximately 60 active researchers in  the
field.   To  apply,  please  submit  a 5 page, double spaced extended abstract
(longer abstracts will be rejected).  Attendance at the workshop  will  be  by
invitation  based  on the submitted extended abstracts.  This workshop will be
held as part of the Federated Computing Research Conference.

     Participants will be expected to submit a complete paper to appear in the
workshop proceedings.  The proceedings will be distributed to all attendees at
the workshop, and will appear as a special issue of SIGPLAN Notices.   A  sum-
mary of the workshop will appear in SIGOPS Operating Systems Review.

Send 10 copies of the extended    Important dates:
