                      CALL FOR PAPERS


               Summer 1988 USENIX Conference

           June 20-24, San Francisco, California


     Papers in  all  areas  of  UNIX(tm)-related  research  and
development  are solicited for formal review for the techni-
cal program of the 1988 Summer USENIX Conference.   Accepted
papers  will be presented during the three days of technical
sessions at the conference and published in  the  conference
proceedings.   The technical program is considered the lead-
ing forum for the presentation of new developments  in  work
related to or based on the UNIX operating system.

     Appropriate topics for technical presentations include,
but are not limited to:

o  Kernel enhancements                o  Performance analysis and tuning
o  UNIX on new hardware               o  Standardization efforts
o  User interfaces                    o  UNIX in new application environments
o  UNIX system management             o  Security
o  The internationalization of UNIX   o  Software management


     All submissions  should  contain  new  and  interesting
work.  Unlike previous technical programs for USENIX confer-
ences, the San Francisco conference is requiring the submis-
sion   of   full  papers  rather  than  extended  abstracts.
Further, a tight review and production cycle will not  allow
time   for   rewrite  and  re-review.   (Time  is,  however,
scheduled for authors of accepted papers  to  perform  minor
revisions.) Acceptance or rejection of a paper will be based
solely on the work as submitted.

     To be considered for the  conference,  a  paper  should
include an abstract of 100 to 300 words, a discussion of how
the reported results relate to other work, illustrative fig-
ures,  and  citations  to  relevant  literature.   The paper
should present sufficient detail of the work plus  appropri-
ate background or references to enable the reviewers to per-
form a fair comparison with other  work  submitted  for  the
conference.   Full  papers  should  be  8-12  single  spaced
typeset  pages,  which  corresponds  to  roughly  20  double
spaced,  unformatted, typed pages.  Format requirements will
be described separately from this call.   All  final  papers
must be submitted in  a  format  suitable  for  camera-ready
copy.   For  authors  that  do not have access to a suitable
output device, facilities will be provided.

     Four copies of each submitted paper should be  received
by  February 19, 1988; this is an absolute deadline.  Papers
not received by this date  will  not  be  reviewed.   Papers
which clearly do not meet USENIX's standards for applicabil-
ity,  originality,  completeness,  or  page  length  may  be
rejected without review.  Acceptance notification will be by
April 4, 1988, and final camera-ready papers will be due  by
April 25, 1988.
