CALL FOR PAPERS
TriComm '91
IEEE Conference on Communications Software:
Communications for Distributed Applications and Systems
April 17-19, 1991
Chapel Hill, NC USA
An international conference sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society,
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and MCNC
OVERVIEW
The decade of the 1980's was a period of rapid advances in communications
technology (both hardware and software) and of pioneering deployment of
distributed systems and applications. At the beginning of the 1990's,
new communications technologies and new distributed applications are
emerging that will have far-reaching impact on communications software.
Very high-speed networks (e.g., from FDDI to Gigabit technologies),
multi- and continuous-media communications, interconnection of workstations
and supercomputers, visualization and image applications, and
computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) are just a few examples.
Participation in the conference by both developers of advanced distributed
applications or systems and researchers interested in communications software
will provide a mutually beneficial dialogue. Two major themes will be
emphasized: (1) examination of requirements and experiences from distributed
applications and systems, and (2) innovations in underlying communications
software.
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS AND SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE
Production, financial or service industry Programming environments
(e.g., airlines, banking, insurance, (languages, toolkits)
manufacturing, education, medicine) High-performance protocols
Computer-supported collaborations Continuous-media protocols
Multimedia mail, conferencing Highly available/secure systems
Visualization; image processing Applied theoretical results
Supercomputer-workstation integration Operating system kernel support
Very large-scale file systems Performance analysis
Monitoring and debugging
CALL FOR PAPERS
Original papers are invited and proceedings will be available at the
conference. The deadline for submitting papers is October 22, 1990.
Papers should be no more than 20 double spaced pages in length and should
have a separate cover page with title, authors, a 250-word abstract, and
postal address, email address, and telephone number of contact author.
