Paper Deadline soon!

[Alix Vasilatos]

Important things to note about this call for papers:

The deadline for papers is soon, June 30, 1989.  Don't forget, we
like short as well as long papers, so you *do* have time!

There will be, for the first time at a workshop, full-day tutorials
on systems administration, taught by illustrious administrators,
so plan now to attend.

Registration materials forthcoming soon.

Cheers,

Alix


                             CALL  FOR  PAPERS

          WORKSHOP ON LARGE INSTALLATION SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATION III


                              Austin, Texas
                           September 7-8, 1989


          In light of increasing attendance at the workshops on 
     Large Installation Systems Administration, plus contributions
     from various places (academia to standards efforts to commercial
     development work on system administration tools), the third
     annual workshop on this subject will again be chaired by 
     Alix Vasilatos in Austin, TX on Thursday and Friday, September
     7th and 8th, 1989, preceded by intermediate and advanced
     full-day tutorials on the 6th.

          For the first time, a program committee will be reviewing
     submitted papers on subjects including, but not limited to:

               Automating systems administration chores
               Network management
               Distributed services
               Backup and archiving
               Spooling/Queuing schemes
               Configuration synchronization
               Accounting/Passwd maintenance
               Electronic communication (USENET/News/Notes/Mail)
               Software distribution
               Reliability enhancement

          Papers can range in length from "very short" (1-3 pages)
     to not over 14 pages including all figures, diagrams, etc.  
     Complete papers only, please, even if short.  Abstracts and
     outlines will not be accepted.  Include a description of the
     unique characteristics of the site, an outline of the problem,
     and a description of the solution (detailed enough that fellow
     administrators can implement it).  Workshop proceedings will 
     be available at the workshop.

          The deadline for submissions is June 30, 1989.  For further
     details about the workshop, contact:
