                    Special Issue of VLSI Design

                                on

                     Interconnection Networks

Tentative Publication Date: Early 1994


Due to fundamental physical limitations on processing speeds of sequential
computers, the future-generation high performance computing environment
will eventually rely entirely on exploiting the inherent parallelism in
problems and implementing their solutions on parallel machines.
VLSI technology makes the design of such multiprocessors feasible. We can
view these processors as individual chips, several chips on a circuit board
or even individual computers interconnected suitably to form networks.
Thus, interconnection networks and their performance become an
integral part of high performance computing in general and
designing parallel architectures in particular.


The purpose of this special issue is to focus on the design and analysis
of all aspects of interconnection networks and VLSI design issues. Specific
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 o  Network Topologies and Algebraic Properties.
 o  Routing Algorithms.
 o  Fault Tolerance Issues: Node and Link Failures.
 o  VLSI Chip Design Issues.
 o  Mapping of Parallel Algorithms.
 o  Embedding Problems: Static and Dynamic.
 o  Reconfiguration Techniques for Fault Tolerant Networks.
 o  Load Balancing Issues.
 o  Self-Stabilizing Distributed Algorithms on Networks.

Please submit five copies of your manuscript to  the guest editor
by May 1, 1993:

                         FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

         The CAYLEY/MAGMA Conference on Computational Algebra

                     London, August 23 - 27, 1993

An instructional conference on Computational Algebra and the new MAGMA system
for Algebra and Number Theory will be held at Queen Mary and Westfield College,
London, August 23 - 27, 1993. The conference is being held to mark
the international launch of MAGMA and it will focus on the state of the art in
algorithmic algebra.

Building on a decade of experience with the CAYLEY system, the Computational
Algebra Group at the University of Sydney, with the generous assistance of
algebraists from many different countries, has designed the MAGMA system.
This system provides an integrated facility for solving hard computational
problems in the major families of algebraic structures, viz. groups, rings,
fields and modules.

MAGMA has a functional-style programming language in which the principal
data types are sets, sequences, structures (magmas) and mappings. The
kernel contains efficient implementations of many of the principal algorithms
in Module Theory, Ring Theory, Group Theory, Algebraic Number Theory
and Algebraic Combinatorics.

Each of the morning sessions of the Conference will consist of lectures on
current developments in one of the above areas of computational algebra, while
the afternoons will be devoted to instructional presentations of corresponding
features in the new MAGMA system.  Ample opportunities will be provided for
participants to gain hands-on experience with the system.

Papers are sought from intending participants describing:

(*) Algorithmic methods in Module Theory, Ring Theory, Group Theory, Algebraic
Number Theory or Algebraic Combinatorics,

(*) Research applications of CAYLEY or MAGMA, or

(*) The impact of computer techniques on research in algebra and related areas.

Intending participants are invited to express interest by sending email to

        R.L.Silverstone@qmw.ac.uk

                        REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION

[[ Specific pointers to this article will be posted in the potentially
   renamed groups.   tale, moderator news.announce.newgroups ]]

There is some discussion in rec.backcountry about creating a camping
subgroup.  If such a group is created, it should be placed in the
rec.outdoors. hierarchy which currently contains just
rec.outdoors.fishing.

In addition, obvious outdoors.* groups should be moved to that
hierarchy.  Specially, rec.hunting should be moved.  Other
possibilities include

rec.boats 
rec.boats.paddle 
rec.climbing 
rec.scuba 
rec.skiing 
rec.skydiving 
rec.windsurfing 

So there are two separate topics in this RFD.  

First, should the above groups be transfered to the rec.outdoors
hierarchy?  As moderator of rec.hunting, I strongly support the
renaming of rec.hunting.  Readers of the other groups should post to
news.groups with comments about their groups.  

One comment might be needed, the vote will only affect the naming of
the groups.  If the vote is taken and fails the group will remain
unchanged.  There is NO possibility of a group being removed. 


Second, should rec.backcountry be renamed and modified to include
subgroups?  It seems that splitting rec.backcountry might be a good
idea.  But, where to split the group is quite another debate.
Possibilities include:

rec.outdoors.camping
rec.outdoors.backpacking
rec.outdoors.hiking

Regarding rec.backcountry, there are three things to be decided: 

1) Is the change of rec.backcountry to rec.outdoors.misc needed?

2) What subgroups have enough traffic to justify them?

3) What should rec.outdoors.misc's charter be?  Here is a suggestion

   CHARTER: rec.outdoors.misc is for the discussion of general
   backcountry topics.  These include backpacking, camping, hiking, the
   state of wilderness areas, wildlife observation and the like.

4) should the group be moderated?


Please post any suggestions/comments to news.groups.  Email and posts
to the original groups are not really considered in the evaluation
process.

I propose the creation of a zoology USENET group.  This group would be
intended as a discussion forum for serious discussion of zoological
topics.  

I see "sci.bio.zoology" or just plain "sci.zoology" as possible names.  I
welcome input on what a sci.zoology charter should consist of.  Please
comment if you'd be interested in a group of this sort.

Date: 28 Jan 1993 23:48:53 -0500
Organization: University of Chicago
NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net

This is a formal Request for Discussion regarding the establishment of
an unmoderated sci.bio.life-extension newsgroup.

<> Purpose of the Newsgroup.

The newsgroup would be primarily for the discussion of techniques of
slowing, stopping, and reversing the aging process, from a practical
as well as theoretical standpoint. This includes, as
life-extensionists say, "adding life to years as well as years to
life;" i.e., we'll discuss not just techniques of "extending" what in
some cases might be a state of already senescent decrepitude, but also
ways of restoring and maintaining youth. In addition, the social
consequences of increased human lifespan may be discussed. (The name
of the group implies no stance on the merits of the book, "Life
Extension," by Pearson and Shaw.)

<> Rationale.

This topic has received increasing attention in recent years as
research gerontologists have begun to understand the biological
mechanisms of aging. As interest in this topic has grown, so has
discussion on the Net. The discussion has been scattered across a
variety of newsgroups, including bionet.molbio.aging, sci.cryonics,
sci.med.nutrition, and alt.psychoactives. None of these newsgroups is
appropriate to a broad discussion of life-extension. The "bionet"
groups are theoretical only, and most sites don't carry them.
Sci.cryonics specializes in only one technique of life extension.
Sci.med.nutrition and alt.psychoactives allow only the limited
discussion of life-extension that falls within the spheres of
nutrition and psychoactive drugs, respectively, and the emphasis of
each is not on life-extension *per se*. A new group would consolidate
the discussion, and would provide a more appropriate forum for the
more general issues related to longevity, which do not fall under the
purview of any current newsgroup.

<> Note

All discussion should be posted to news.groups.

This is a CFV to move rec.games.cyber (moderated) to
rec.games.frp.cyber (unmoderated).

rec.games.cyber is not in it's right place in UseNet hierarchies. As it
deals with cyberpunk-genre roleplaying, it clearly should be under
rec.games.frp hierarchy.

The discussion period begun 7th December when the first RFD was posted.
Voting period begins 24th January 00:00 and ends 21st February 23:59. (GMT)

All votes should be sent to elandal@archtwr.tower.nullnet.fi with
subject line of

	YES for rec.games.frp.cyber
or
	NO for rec.games.frp.cyber

depending on your vote.

The charter for rec.games.frp.cyber follows:

rec.games.frp.cyber

This group is for discussing various aspects of cyberpunk genre
roleplaying and the rules of different cyberpunk roleplaying games.

All discussion of general roleplaying aspects, cyberpunk roleplaying
not involving rules of any cyberpunk roleplaying game, or aspects of
cyberpunk roleplaying appearing often in other games (like weapons,
they appear in other games, but not smartgun links, as they are mostly
found in cyberpunk but no other games) belongs to .misc or some more
appropriate group (like .advocacy).

Cyberpunk discussion not involving roleplaying or roleplaying games
might do better in alt.cyberpunk or some group in alt.cyberpunk hierarchy.

Some cyberpunk roleplaying games are Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2020, GURPS
Cyberpunk. This list is not exclusive since I don't know all cyberpunk
RPGs on the market. These are just examples of cyberpunk roleplaying games.

This is a Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of:
comp.os.nt (unmoderated)

SYNOPSIS:
---------
	The proposed newsgroup is intended to provide a forum for 
discussing topics relating to the Microsoft Windows NT operating 
system.

RATIONALE:
----------
	Windows NT is an operating system that will be separated and
different than either MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows. Currently the
available news groups to discuss Windows NT are comp.os.ms-windows*,
comp.os.msdos* and others. There is no central location to discuss
issues relating to Windows NT.

BENEFITS:
---------
	The creation of this news group will assist in reducing the amount
of traffic in the msdos and windows news groups. In addition this
group will provide a centralized location for discussions regarding
Windows NT, rather than having them spread all over the USENET
hierarchy.


PROBLEMS:
---------
	First problem: the name. comp.os.nt is short and to the point, 
but maybe too short.  comp.os.windows-nt is too long, comp.os.windowsnt
is too mushed, comp.os.ms-windows.nt IS NOT the correct location.
Windows NT is not a subsystem of Microsoft Windows, it is separate
and non equal to Microsoft Windows. This is a RFD for a reason,
I'm way open to suggestions for a new name. If someone can convince
me that comp.os.ms-windows.nt is appropriate, great.

	Second problem: subgroups. Initialy comp.os.nt will be enough to
hold all discussions relating to Windows NT. But soon it will become
apparent that subgroups will need to be created. Cross that bridge
when we come to it is what I say.

	Third problem: comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32. Here is a 
group that already is discussing some topics relating to Windows. I
obviously do not think this is sufficient.


DISCLAIMERS:
-----------
Microsoft, MS and MS-DOS are registered trademarks and Windows,
Windows NT, and Win32 are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. 
( you could tell I had a Microsoft manual near me ;-)

The comments listed above are my own and do not reflect the opinions
of my employer, Sequent Computer Systems Inc.

The proposals to scrap groups in non-misc hierarchies is temporarily withdrawn
because of opposition from a variety of people who get those groups but not
misc.* groups.  The current list of proposals is:

1. Rename misc.jobs.misc to something making it clear that it is only for
	discussion.  misc.jobs.discussion and misc.jobs.d have been suggested.
2. Create new group with a name like:
	misc.jobs.co-op, misc.jobs.temp, misc.jobs.nonpermanent,
	misc.jobs.shortterm, or misc.jobs.student, for
	summer jobs and so forth.  misc.jobs.entry and/or misc.jobs.contract
	might be incorporated into this group.  I don't really like student
	or co-op as a name because that would exclude summer jobs
	for faculty and school teachers, as well as traditional "temp" jobs.
3. Create a hierarchy misc.jobs.local.* or misc.jobs.offered.local.* for
	postings arranged by geography (e.g. canada, europe, ca, usa-other, and
	other could be the sub-groups.)  Jobs offerings should be cross-posted
	here and to the job groups in local hierarchies because of the 
	confusion that the redundancy could produce and because some
	people get only local hierarchies and others get no local hierarchies.
	The word local isn't really needed in the title but would be useful
	to separate the groups from those arranged by type.
4. Create field/speciality/discipline specific groups off of either
	misc.jobs or misc.jobs.offered.  Examples:
	computer, engineering, faculty, medical.  (Which could be
	abbreviated as comp, tech, prof, med, or whatever.)  Just
	separating computer and noncomputer jobs would help a lot.

CFV to be posted circa Feb. 10, 1993, as 1st RFD was posted Jan. 11, 1993.
Today is Jan. 26, 1993.
