Expires: Sat, 1 May 1993 07:00:00 GMT
Organization: Colorado State University


                            CALL FOR PAPERS

                    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:

	This posting only addresses a separate workshop to be held on Dec. 4.
---------------


In connection with TOOLS Pacific, a one-day workshop
on current trends in object-oriented technology will take place
at the University of Technology, Sydney, on Dec. 4, 1992.

The purpose of the workshop is to get people active in the O-O
field in the Pacific to present their work and get feedback from
their colleagues. The emphasis is on current work, whose results
may still be tentative or partial; TOOLS is the normal channel for
submitting descriptions of completed work.

The workshop will be co-chaired by Igor Hawryszkiewycz (UTS),
Bertrand Meyer (ISE, USA, currently at UTS) and John Potter (UTS).
It will be by invitation only and the number
of participants will be limited to favor interaction and constructive discussions.

To participate at the workshop you must (unless you have received
a separate invitation) submit a position paper.
Position papers (600 to 3000 words) should be sent by e-mail to John Potter;
please send only Postscript (preferred) or ASCII files.
The address is

    Fax:       (02) 330-1807
    Telephone: (02) 330-1850

and the deadline is November 20. To help organize the workshop, however,
please notify John as early as possible by e-mail if you intend to submit
a position paper, and indicate the title.

The workshop will run from 8:30 to 17:30 on Dec. 4, with lunch taken on the
premises. The registration price will be $70 covering lunch and handouts.
To register, please use the corresponding box on the TOOLS registration
form. (When indicating your intention to participate, please give
your postal address so that we can mail you a TOOLS form if you haven't
received it yet.) Although the form is the same for TOOLS and for the workshop,
you may use the form even if you register only for the workshop.

The tentative plan (to be amended according to position papers received) is:

08:30-10:30 Individual presentations (20 minutes each)
10:30-11:00 Break
11:30-12:30 Panel: What are the most important research issues in the field?

Subject: RFD: comp.os.386bsd.{announce,bugs,devel,misc}
Followup-To: news.groups
Date: 23 Nov 1992 18:01:23 -0500
Organization: Kernel Hackers 'r' Us
NNTP-Posting-Host: news.uu.net
Keywords: 386bsd

This is a RFD (Request for Discussion) of the following groups:

	comp.os.386bsd.announce (moderated)
	comp.os.386bsd.bugs
	comp.os.386bsd.devel
	comp.os.386bsd misc

All of them are intended to be devoted to the discussion of the
386bsd Operating System, a BSD Net-2 derivative.  Discussion of
this operating system is currently carried out on the newsgroup
comp.unix.bsd, and this is problematic for two reasons:

	(1) comp.unix.bsd is flooded with postings about 386bsd,
		and questions about other operating systems
		are easily missed.
	(2) 386bsd is increasingly divergent from "standard" BSD.
		386bsd is an operating system in its own right,
		and deserves recognition and treatment as such.

The proposed groups would have the following functions:

comp.os.386bsd.announce (moderated):

	It would be a moderated newsgroup, for announcements
	relating to the 386bsd operating system.  I
	(cgd@agate.berkeley.edu) would be the moderator.
	Things appropriate for the .announce group
	would include announcements of new versions of 386bsd,
	announcements of major software releases for 386bsd
	(e.g. new version of X11 for 386bsd), announcements
	of fixes for major bugs, and the like.  FAQs relating to
	386bsd should also be cross-posted to this group.

comp.os.386bsd.bugs:

	This would be a forum for the presentation and discussion
	of bugs, patches, and suggested fixes for 386bsd and software
	which runs under it.
	
comp.os.386bsd.devel:

	Discussion of development efforts related to 386bsd.
	386bsd is a research operating system, and there
	is much effort being put into expanding its functionality
	"correctly."  This group would contain that discussion.
	Additionally, developers of device drivers, etc. could
	use this group to keep other 386bsd developers informed
	of their work.

comp.os.386bsd.misc:

	Discussion about 386bsd which does not fall into the area
	of coverage of any of the other 386bsd groups.  Things
	posted here should not be crossposted to the other 386bsd
	groups.

This is the second call for votes for the creation of the moderated 
newsgroup misc.news.east-europe.rferl. The purpose with this group is
make the RFL/RL daily report in one place one place. Today it is re-
posted to several groups, regularly or irregularry, in part or in whole.

Today the report is available as a LISTSERV list which has around
1.500 subscribers. Below is the presentation for the mailing list:

* The RFE/RL Daily Report is a digest of the latest developments
* in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.  It is published
* Monday through Friday (except German holidays) by the RFE/RL
* Research Institute (a division of Radio Free Europe/Radio
* Liberty Inc.) in Munich.  It averages roughly 30 Kbytes of
* material per day.

To avoid junk appearing in this group, the group would be moderated
rferl-daily-report-request@rferl.org which is stated as editor of
the LISTSERV list today. Indeed this is a trivial list to moderate,
since nothing but the reports should appear in the newsgroup.

To vote, mail me at sommar@enea.se with a message clearly saying that
you are voting YES or NO to misc.news.east-europe.rferl. I will try to
acknowledge all votes. Posted votes are discarded.

The vote started on November 10th, and will last to December 9th. 
This is the only repetition of the call during this period.

Name of Proposed Newsgroup
==========================
	soc.culture.egyptian

Type
====
	unmoderated

Charter
=======
	A cultural newsgroup which would primarly discuss the rich heritage,
        history,   and  cultural  attributes  that  give  Egypt  its  unique
        historical  identity.  Issues  discussed  would  also include topics
        relevant  to  the development of Egyptian communities, in the realms
        of science, technology and culture.

Purpose of the Group
====================
	. Discuss  the  cultural attributes and heritage that give Egypt its
	  unique identity.
	. Discuss topics relevant to the development of Modern Egypt.
	. Provide  a  channel  through which prospective travellers to Egypt
          can seek information and recommendations from native Egyptians.

Newsgroup Creation
==================
	The  discussion  for  this group will last from Monday, Nov. 2, 1992 
        until  Friday  Dec.  4,  1992.  The  discussion should take place in 
        news.groups. All followups should be under this same title heading.

	I  am  now  inviting  all netters in general and Egyptian netters in
        particular to take part in the discussion. Any suggestions, comments
        or  problems  may  be included in the discussion or sent directly to
	kinawi@acs.ucalgary.ca

	It might be of interest to mention that the creation of such a news-
	group  was  discussed on Egypt-net, a mailing list that has over 450
	members, last July.

	At  the end of the Discussion Period, voting will be held. The rules
	on how to vote will be posted here.

Thanks,

rec.arts.poems.urdu was initially scheduled to be created today.
Its creation is being delayed while the ballots are examined to
determine that all yes and no votes were correctly counted.

At this time the passing vote of 302 yes to 145 no has _not_ been
rejected.  Note that a proposal needs to have both 100 more yes than
no votes and two thirds of the total votes be yes in order for it to
pass.

The ballots as mailed to me by the proposer, ali@simdiv1.mentorg.com
(Aliasgar Haveliwala), are available on ftp.uu.net in the directory
/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/votes/rec.arts.poems.urdu.  They were
apparently split on uneven message boundaries; I will try to
reconstruct them in the appropriate whole message order as best as I
can.  The file is roughly 500k.

Observers will see that I personally voted against the group.  I did
so on the basis of its name.  Regardless, this ballot examination will
be based solely on what messages were sent, and people who question my
impartiality or fairness are free to examine the ballots themselves.

Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 22:23:09 GMT

Proposed newsgroup name: comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.visual-basic
Status: unmoderated

Charter: comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.visual-basic is for discussion of
programming with Microsoft's Visual Basic language/environment for the
Microsoft Windows environment.  Crossposting to other newsgroups is appro-
priate only where issues outside of Visual Basic for Windows are also
involved.

Rationale: Microsoft's Visual Basic for Windows has become a significant
programming tool for Windows.  It combines an interactive programming
environment, a Windows interface-building tool, and a BASIC dialect with
sufficient structure and power to rival Pascal as a real software devel-
opment language.  In addition, Visual Basic (VB) discussion has become
a visible part of the comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.* newsgroups that
exist now.

The RFD period will run from the date of posting to Friday, December 11,
1992.  If appropriate, a CFV will be posted shortly afterwards.  I will
be managing the voting.  All discussion on this proposition shall be in
news.groups.

Summary: Request for discusion on soc.adoption
Keywords: adoption

This is a formal request for comments to create a group by the name:
soc.adoption

Charter:
   Forum to discuss all matters relating to adoption; Possible topics of
   discussion:
   legal questions,
   birth-parent/child searching
   Adoptive parent questions/answers
   Social implications
   problems with: inter-racial, international, "older than average" adopts
   "self-help & how-to's"


Things most of us would like to avoid:
talk.abortion


Note that this is an attempt to replace alt.adoption which is currently
being carried at many sites, since there are probably just as many sites which
carry no alt.* groups. The alt group is now about 10 days old, and has
seen a good amount of traffic, & I believe has a wide potential audience.

Distribution should be "world".

Please take the time to add your comments, and thanks for your time.
