			    CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

			      Second Workshop On

			WORKSTATION OPERATING SYSTEMS


    Sponsored by: The  IEEE  Computer  Society  Technical  Committee  on
    Operating Systems


    Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific  Grove,  CA.   September  27-30,
    1989


    The Second Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems (WWOS-II)  will
    bring together a number of researchers  and  developers  to  discuss
    their work and experiences in  workstation  operating  systems.   As
    workstation  technology  and  man-machine  interfaces  advance,  the
    operating system must evolve.  Potential topic areas include:

	  o New workstation operating systems

	  o OS changes for the workstation environment
	    (e.g. graphical interfaces)

	  o Scheduling and resource management

	  o Workstation architectures

	  o Multi-processor considerations

    To facilitate the dialog that is so valuable in a workshop  setting,
    attendance will be limited  to  60  active  workers  in  the  field.
    Registration requests should be  addressed  to  Joseph  Boykin,  the
    General Chair.  This request should  include  a  1-3  page  position
    paper describing the participant's interest  and  future  directions
    related to workstations and workstation operating systems as well as
    insights and lessons  gained  from  recent  research  and  practical
    experience. 

    Those interested in presenting the results  of  their  research,  or
    current work-in-progress, should submit a 3-5  page  paper  to  Luis
    Felipe Cabrera.   Papers  must  be  submitted  by  April  15,  1989.
    Acceptance will be made by June 1 and final copy is due  by  July 1,
    1989.  Selection of papers will be made by the program committee:
