                  CALL FOR PAPERS
  WORKSHOP ON INPUT/OUTPUT IN PARALLEL COMPUTER SYSTEMS 

                  to be held at 
 International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS '93)


               in cooperation with 
   IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing 
      Newport Beach, California, April 13, 1993
             PAPERS DUE: JAN 31, 1993


SYMPOSIUM: IPPS '93 will be held April 13-16, 1993 at the Newport Beach
Marriott Hotel and Tennis Club, Newport Beach, California.  The symposium
is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and is held in cooperation with ACM
SIGARCH.  IPPS '93 is a forum for engineers and scientists from around the
world to present the latest research findings in all aspects of parallel
and distributed processing.

WORKSHOP: The workshop will be held on the first day of the symposium
(April 13, 1993).  The workshop will focus on the I/O bottleneck facing
parallel computer systems for many important applications such as
multimedia information systems and volume visualization.  Recognition of
the importance of this problem has been growing steadily, and proposed
solutions include approaches based upon new hardware, architecture,
systems software and algorithms.  The workshop will bring together
researchers in order to foster further research on these approaches and
their integration into comprehensive systems solutions.

Papers are invited demonstrating original unpublished research.  Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

    High-speed storage and channels            
    I/O interconnection architectures
    Concurrent file systems
    Compiler support for parallel I/O            
    Scheduling algorithms and heuristics
    Data and resource allocation
    Application profiling and benchmarking
    Performance of I/O subsystems

SUBMITTING PAPERS: All papers will be reviewed.  The first
page must include a 100-word abstract and the name,
address, telephone number and electronic mail address of
the author to whom correspondence is to be sent.  The
manuscript should be at most 20 pages long (including
figures and references).  Papers will be collected into a
proceedings and distributed at the workshop.  Five copies
of the paper should be sent to one of the two addresses
below:

    Ravi Jain               John Werth
