			   ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS

       Dartmouth Institute for Advanced Graduate Studies, 1993
				   
       Issues and Obstacles in the Practical Implementation of
	 Parallel Algorithms and the Use of Parallel Machines
				   
		Symposium:  Parallel I/O and Databases
				   
		    School in Parallel Programming
				   
	   June 21-June 30, 1993     Hanover, New Hampshire


This summer, Dartmouth will hold its second DAGS  institute to promote
the  use  of  high-performance  computing.  As  in  1992, when  it was
established with the  support  of the NSF  and Dartmouth  College, the
institute  will bring  together  researchers  and  practitioners  from
academia and industry.  This  year, the  institute will be composed of
two parts: a  symposium (June 21-23) of invited and contributed talks,
followed by  a  hands-on school (June 24-30) on  parallel programming.
Housing will be  available at economical rates in college dormitories,
near  to  conference sessions and  centrally  located on the Dartmouth
campus.

   June 21-23: SYMPOSIUM  The focus of the symposium this year will be
on  parallel  I/O and databases.  Invited speakers: Alok Aggarwal (IBM
T.J.  Watson), Garth  Gibson  (Carnegie Mellon),  David  Scott  (Intel
Supercomputers),   Jeffrey  Vitter   (Duke),  David   Waltz  (Thinking
Machines), John Wilkes (Hewlett-Packard).

A  limited  number  of  contributed  papers  will   be   selected  for
presentation.   Although  the focus  of the  invited  speakers  is  on
parallel I/O and databases, we  welcome  contributed papers on  any of
the following topics:
       parallel I/O systems and algorithms,
       parallel database systems,
       software issues in the construction of parallel programs,
       parallel-programming environments and tools,
       implementation issues of parallel algorithms,
       visualization algorithms and tools.

Authors  are  invited  to  send  10  copies  of  their  doubled-spaced
manuscripts  to be received  by February 15, 1993.  Manuscripts should
be  limited to 20  pages.  Contributors will be notified of acceptance
by  March  15,  1993 and  will be  given  instructions  for the  final
presentation of their paper at that time.  Please send research papers
to Debra Minichiello,  6188 Bradley Hall, Dartmouth  College, Hanover,
NH 03755-3551 (email: debra.minichiello@dartmouth.edu).

   June 24-30: SCHOOL ON PARALLEL PROGRAMMING  The school will involve
a hands-on course  on programming parallel algorithms  using  the NESL
parallel language.   The course  will be  taught by  the  developer of
NESL, Professor Guy Blelloch of Carnegie Mellon University. The course
will  introduce several parallel  data structures  and  a  variety  of
parallel algorithms and then look at how they can be implemented.  The
school will include other activities conducted by different faculty of
the DAGS '93 school, such as  tutorials on various software issues  of
parallel  programming  and  exposure  to  or  demonstration  of  other
parallel programming languages, such as C*.

   Program Committee: Guy  Blelloch, Tom Cormen,  George Cybenko, Phil
Hatcher,   Donald  Johnson,  David   Kotz,  Fillia  Makedon   (chair),
Panagiotis Metaxas,  Grammati Pantziou, Eric Schwabe, Clifford  Stein,
Clifford Walinsky.

   Organizing Committee: Fillia Makedon (chair), Donald  Johnson,  Ken
Bogart, Tom Cormen, Wayne Cripps, George Cybenko, Scot  Drysdale, Mark
Franklin,   David  Kotz,  Don  Kreider,   Panagiotis   Metaxas,  Debra
Minichiello,  Grammati   Pantziou,  Cliff  Stein,  Clifford  Walinsky,
Patricia Wilson.
