[Joe Boykin]

                                    CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                                      Second Workshop On

                                WORKSTATION OPERATING SYSTEMS


                                        Sponsored by:
             The IEEE Computer Society - Technical Committee on Operating Systems


                        Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA. 
                                    September 27-29, 1989


            The Second Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems (WWOS-II)  will
            bring together a number of researchers  and  developers  to  discuss
            their work and experiences in  workstation  operating  systems.   As
            workstation  technology  and  man-machine  interfaces  advance,  the
            operating system must evolve.  Potential topic areas include:

                  o New workstation operating systems

                  o OS changes for the workstation environment (e.g.   graphical
                    interfaces)

                  o Scheduling and resource management

                  o Workstation architectures

                  o Multi-processor considerations

            To facilitate the dialog that is so valuable in a workshop  setting,
            attendance will be limited  to  60  active  workers  in  the  field.
            Registration requests should be  addressed  to  Joseph  Boykin,  the
            General Chair.  This request should  include  a  1-3  page  position
            paper describing the participant's interest  and  future  directions
            related to workstations and workstation operating systems as well as
            insights and lessons  gained  from  recent  research  and  practical
            experience. 

            Those interested in presenting the results  of  their  research,  or
            current work-in-progress, should submit a 3-5  page  paper  to  Luis
            Felipe Cabrera.   Papers  must  be  submitted  by  April  15,  1989.
            Acceptance will be made by June 1 and final copy is due  by  July 1,
            1989.  Selection of papers will be made by the program committee:
