        First International Workshop on Architectural and
             Operating System Support for Persistence.

             Magnetic Island, Queensland, Australia
	              6th-9th July 1993


Call for Papers

Since its emergence in the early eighties, persistence has become
an important branch of computer science.  Various workshops have
addressed different aspects of persistence: The Persistent Object
Systems (Appin) Workshops have mainly addressed programming language
issues, as have The Database Programming Languages workshops.
Database issues have been addressed in the Object- oriented Database
series whereas the IWOOOS series has addressed object-orientation in
operating systems.  In January 1992 a highly successful one day session
on Architectural and Operating System support for persistence was
held during the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences.
Further sessions on this topic were held during the San Miniato
Persistent Object Systems Conference in September 1992.
There is now enough research in this area to warrant a separate workshop
on Architectural and Operating System support for persistence.

We are therefore pleased to announce the First International Workshop
on Architectural and Operating System Support for Persistence.  The
workshop will be held on Magnetic Island from the 6th-9th of July 1993.
Magnetic Island is located on the inner Great Barrier Reef close to
Cairns in Queensland, Australia. The workshop will have an informal
atmosphere with plenty of time for discussion. We are currently
negotiating with Springer-Verlag regarding the publication of the
proceedings.  Papers are solicited in but not restricted to the
following areas:

Persistent Object Stores
Garbage collection
Distribution
Concurrency control
Clustering
Operating system support for persistence
Hardware support for persistence
Compiler support for persistence

Instructions for submitting papers

All papers should be submitted electronically.
Details of the format and method of submission are available by
anonymous ftp using ftp-address: basser.cs.su.oz.au in the
directory /AOSSP.

Important Dates

1st March 1993:	Submissions due.

         UNIGS's 10th Anniversary for Realization of Open Systems
                              Call for Papers

Open Systems - with this concept comes the promise of making
information systems that are independent of hardware and
software generally available and therefore to increase the
productivity of teams, departments or the whole company.

UNIX delivers these technical requirements : Manufacturer
independence and ability to communication facilities. But for
the successful realization of open systems something else is
needed : know-how. We would like to invite you to present your
experiences, concepts and products at the UNIGS Spring
Convention 1993.


User oriented  presentations:

The application of open systems in the industry and service
sectors, "CIM" and "MIS". Observe that apparently small and
simple projects are of interest.

Technical presentations :

Strategies for the development and use of manufacturer
independent solutions. Realization  of open system architecture.
Building and running of LANs, MANs and WANs.

Product oriented presentations:

For the realization of products in an open systems environment.
We would like to request only technically based presentations.



Please send the enclosed form together with a half page summary
to us before January 15 1993. We are looking forward to your
participation!

     International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)
                      A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria


The International Energy Workshop (IEW) is a network of analysts
concerned with international energy issues.  It is jointly organized
by Stanford University and IIASA.  Its aims are to compare energy
projections and to understand the reasons for diverging views of
future developments.  The main activity of the IEW is iterative
polling of crude oil prices, economic growth, primary energy
consumption and production, and energy trade.  The poll results and
other relevant topics in the energy field are discussed in annual
meetings involving the authors of the energy projections and other
interested persons.

We invite presentations in the following areas

     -  The Climate Convention -- One Year After UNCED

     -  Greenhouse-gases Abatement Strategies

     -  Recent Developments in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union

     -  Bottom-up and Top-down Methods of Projecting Energy Demand

If you wish to give a presentation at the meeting, please indicate the
appropriate group and send the title and a 250-word abstract of your
presentation to Dr. Leo Schrattenholzer, IIASA, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria,
fax: ++43-2236-73147 or 71313.

If you wish to receive registration information or just to be included
on our postal mailing list, please send e-mail to leo@IIASA.AC.AT.

proof theory, automated theorem proving, unification theory,
complexity theory, logics of programs, non-standard logics for
theoretical computer science and AI, recursion theory,
logic programming, lambda-calculus.

Paper Submission:  Authors are kindly requested to submit 3 copies
