Abstracts are being accepted  from  individuals  wishing  to
present   papers   at   the  Summer  1987  USENIX  Technical
Conference.   Abstracts  should  be  250-750   words   long,
emphasizing what is new and interesting about the work.  The
final paper should be 8-12 pages when typeset.

Suggested topic areas include, but are not limited to:

 o+ Kernel enhancements, measurements, etc.
 o+ Programming languages and environments.
 o+ UNIX in the office environment.
 o+ Standards and portability.
 o+ _N_e_w mail  systems  (e.g.,  X.400-based  systems  or  user
   interfaces incorporating new interface paradigms).
 o+ Applications, especially unusual ones  such  as  computer
   aided music, factory automation, etc.
 o+ Security.
 o+ UNIX vs. the naive user.
 o+ Workstations: comparisons, experiences, trends.
 o+ Beyond UNIX -- what next?

Presentations  by   vendors   should   contain   substantial
technical  information  and  be  of  interest to the general
community.

All abstracts will be due by February 20, 1987.   Electronic
submissions  to  _u_c_b_v_a_x!_p_h_o_e_n_i_x  or _p_h_o_e_n_i_x at _B_e_r_k_e_l_e_y._E_D_U are
preferred.  All abstracts should include your name,  network
address (see below), and telephone number.

All authors whose abstracts are accepted must submit a paper
by the publication deadline or they will forfeit their talk.
We  currently  plan   to   strongly   encourage   electronic
submissions  of  final papers in _t_r_o_f_f format using the -_m_e,
-_m_m, or -_m_s macros and the _t_b_l, _e_q_n, and _p_i_c  preprocessors.
_T_E_X and _S_c_r_i_b_e are available with limited fonts.

Dates of interest are:

    20 February    Abstracts due
    16 March       Notifications to authors
    13 April       Final papers due
    10-12 June     Conference program

Please include your  network  address,  if  available,  with
abstracts and all correspondence.  This should be an Arpanet
address or a UUCP address relative to a well known host;  if
in doubt, start from _m_c_v_a_x, _u_c_b_v_a_x, _d_e_c_v_a_x, or _s_e_i_s_m_o.  Also
include a telephone number so you can be  contacted  in  the
event of network difficulties.  If you do not have a network
address, please include  a  surface  mail  address  so  that
information can be sent to you if your paper is accepted.
