                                                CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


                                  http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/iopads/


                                            Fourth Annual Workshop on
                              I/O in Parallel and Distributed Systems
                                                              (IOPADS)


                                              in conjunction with the
                      ACM 1996 Federated Computing Research Conference
                                                          May 27, 1996
                                                      Philadelphia, PA


                                                      Co-sponsored by:
                                                            ACM SIGACT
                                                          ACM SIGARCH
                                                          ACM SIGOPS
                                                            IEEE TCOS


                                                  In cooperation with:
                                                        ACM SIGMETRICS




    In 1996, its fourth year, IOPADS graduates from an informal workshop
held in conjunction with IPPS, to a format more like a symposium to be
co-located with many others at FCRC '96. The thrust of IOPADS has
always been to bring together researchers in all aspects of parallel
I/O, which we broadly place into five categories: architecture,
algorithms, applications, file and operating systems, and compilers
and runtime systems. It is our opinion that the problems of parallel
I/O are most effectively addressed by investigating all these areas
rather than working in each area in isolation. Although I/O-related
papers appear in many other conferences, the value of IOPADS is in
gathering interested researchers from all these areas of computer
science, encouraging cross-disciplinary interaction, rather than
working in each area in isolation.


    Through ACM Press, IOPADS will publish a formal proceedings, which
will be provided to all registrants and will be available for sale at
FCRC and afterwards.


    FCRC is the Federated Computing Research Conference, which was last
held in 1993. In 1996, FCRC will include many exciting conferences
and workshops under one roof: ICS, IOPADS, ISCA, PADS, PLDI, PODC,
SIGMETRICS, STOC, WOPA, Workshop on Academic Careers for Women,
Symposium on Computational Geometry, Conference on Computational
Complexity, Symposium on Networks and Information Management,
Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Tools, and Conference on
Functional Programming.
