                  CALL FOR PAPERS
  WORKSHOP ON INPUT/OUTPUT IN PARALLEL COMPUTER SYSTEMS 

                  to be held at 
 International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS '93)


               in cooperation with 
   IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing 
      Newport Beach, California, April 13, 1993

     ** REVISED PAPER DUE DATE: FEB 28, 1993 **


SYMPOSIUM:  IPPS '93 will be held April 13-16, 1993 at the
Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Tennis Club, Newport
Beach, California.  The symposium is sponsored by IEEE
Computer Society and is held in cooperation with ACM
SIGARCH.  IPPS '93 is a forum for engineers and scientists
from around the world to present the latest research
findings in all aspects of parallel and distributed
processing.

WORKSHOP: The workshop will be held on the first day of the
symposium (April 13, 1993).  The workshop will focus on the
I/O bottleneck facing parallel computer systems for many
important applications such as multimedia information
systems and volume visualization.  Recognition of the
importance of this problem has been growing steadily, and
proposed solutions include approaches based upon new
hardware, architecture, systems software and algorithms.
The workshop will bring together researchers in order to
foster further research on these approaches and their
integration into comprehensive systems solutions.

Papers are invited demonstrating original unpublished
research.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

    High-speed storage and channels            
    I/O interconnection architectures
    Concurrent file systems
    Compiler support for parallel I/O            
    Scheduling algorithms and heuristics
    Data and resource allocation
    Application profiling and benchmarking
    Performance of I/O subsystems

SUBMITTING PAPERS: All papers will be reviewed.  The first
page must include a 100-word abstract and the name,
address, telephone number and electronic mail address of
the author to whom correspondence is to be sent.  The
manuscript should be at most 20 pages long (including
figures and references).  Papers will be collected into a
proceedings and distributed at the workshop.  Five copies
of the paper should be sent to one of the two addresses
below:

    Ravi Jain               John Werth            
    Bellcore                Dept of Computer Sciences
    MRE 2P342               Taylor Hall Room 2.124    
    445 South Street        Univ. of Texas at Austin    
    Morristown, NJ 07962    Austin, TX 78712
