Revised (final) WEBDMS schedule

[Gene Spafford]

Enclosed is the final schedule of the first Workshop on Experiences
with Building Distributed and Multiprocessor Systems.  The program
includes 25 presentations from researchers around the world,
representing both academic and industrial experience.  The first day
will also include a "work-in-progress" session for presentations of
recent and on-going work not otherwise represented by papers in this
workshop.

The workshop will be held at the Marriott in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
on October 5 & 6, 1989.  Printed proceedings will be distributed to
all workshop attendees.

Registration for the workshop is being handled through the Usenix
conference office.  Attendence is limited, so late registrants may not
be accomodated.  A registration form can be obtained by sending e-mail
to "judy at usenix.org".  AFTER the workshop, copies of the proceedings
may be ordered by sending mail to "office at usenix.org".  Questions
about the workshop may be directed to the general chair, George
Leach, at "reggie at pdn.paradyne.com".
