  =====================================================================
         1st Workshop on Software Distributed Shared Memory
              http://www.cs.umd.edu/~keleher/wsdsm99/
                            WSDSM'99

            to be held in Rhodes, Greece, June 25, 1999
                        in conjunction with
       the 1999 ACM International Conference on Supercomputing
                             ICS'99

     Workshop proceedings to be published by the ICS organization
  =====================================================================

THEME

During the last few years, research on consistency models, protocols and
applications has allowed the software DSM field to become relatively
mature. At the same time, general-purpose networks and communication
packages have advanced to the point where clusters of workstations can be
coupled almost as closely as hardware multi-processors.
 
The theme of this workshop, then, will be an attempt to answer the
following two related questions:
 
        What remains to be done in DSM?
 
and more to the point:
 
        Will DSM ever move into the mainstream?
 
To this end, we solicit abstracts of original DSM research including, but
not limited to, the following areas:
        applications
        clusters of multiprocessors
        compiler support
        DSM and real-world applications
        fault tolerance
        hardware support
        memory models
        multi-threading
        online adaptation
        performance/debugging tools
 
IMPORTANT DATES

Submission                 : 15 April 1999
Notification of acceptance : 30 April 1999
Camera-ready copies        : 15 May 1999

SUBMISSION DETAILS 

All submissions must be in the form of extended abstracts whose length ---
including abstract, figures, bibliographies, and appendices --- does not
exceed 4 US letter (8.5" x 11"; no A4 please) pages; papers longer than 4
pages will be summarily rejected.  Text must be set in no smaller than a 10
pt font, be single-spaced and single-columned, and include page numbers.
Each paper will be reviewed by the program chairs.

Full versions of accepted papers will be published separately from the
ICS'99 Proceedings and will be available at the conference site. The
workshop proceedings will be published as an ACM ICS'99 volumes (bearing
the ACM logo).

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format. It is essential that
they print without difficulty on a variety of printers using Adobe Acrobat
Reader. Therefore, be sure that you have included any special fonts that
you use, etc. It is the absolute responsibility of the authors to ensure
that the submitted papers will print easily.  The corresponding author is
requested to include at the start of the message containing the paper:
o complete postal address
o e-mail address
o phone number
o fax number

Email your submission to wsdsm@cs.umd.edu. Receipt of submissions will be
promptly acknowledged.  Late submissions will not be accepted; sorry, no
exceptions. In cases where electronic submission is not possible, please
contact one of the program chairs (see below).
