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.
