                 RESEARCH EXHIBITS AT SUPERCOMPUTING '92
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                        Call-For-Participation

Purpose:
  Research Exhibits are a forum for providing hands-on demonstrations
  of working research tools and systems, with an emphasis on interactive
  and/or visual and aural displays.  They provide an opportunity for
  conference attendees to see a broad range of supercomputing research in
  action and to have one-on-one discussions with the research scientists
  involved.  The research exhibits will be located on the Vendor Exhibit
  floor throughout the conference and will be available during normal 
  exhibit hours at the option of the participating researchers.

  You are invited to submit a proposal for a Supercomputing '92 Research
  Exhibit in order to take advantage of this prime opportunity to present
  your latest research to a large portion of the supercomputing community.
  International exhibits are welcomed and encouraged.

Computing Equipment: 
  Research Exhibits are intended to either demonstrate working computing tools 
  and systems, or to describe working tools/systems that are infeasible to 
  set up at the conference.  Exhibitors are expected to furnish their own 
  computing equipment, at their own cost.  (A small fund is available to help 
  defray the cost of equipment transportation for those researchers who would 
  not be able to come otherwise.)

  SCinet92 will provide a high bandwidth networking environment similar
  to that found at many supercomputer sites today.  This network will be
  available, free of charge, to all research exhibitors.

Standard Set Up:
  The standard set-up for each exhibit will be a 10 ft. by 10 ft. booth with
  one table, two chairs, and one counter/table suitable for a workstation.  Any
  additional furniture can be rented by the exhibitor at the conference.

Submission Details:
  To submit a proposal for a research exhibit, please send the following to the 
  address given below.
    1. Abstract, of less than or equal to FIVE pages, describing the software
       or other research and the purpose of your exhibit.
    2. Computing equipment required for your exhibit, including necessary network 
       connections.
    3. Booths and furniture required beyond the standard set-up.
    4. A statement as to whether or not you need assistance in covering the
       cost of transporting your computing equipment.

  DEADLINE for Submission:  August 15, 1992 
                            (extended from original August 1 deadline)
