************************ CALL FOR PAPERS ***************************

5th Annual MIT Student Workshop on Scalable Computing

August 8, 1995 

Wellesley Science Center

The workshop will be sponsored by the MIT Laboratory for Computer
Science to promote an interchange of ideas among the various research
activities at MIT related to scalable computing. This year's student
workshop will be entirely organized by students. Students ---
undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral --- are encouraged to submit
short, 2-page abstracts of recent technical accomplishments. All
submitted abstracts will be bound in a volume to be distributed at the
workshop and which will later be available as an LCS technical report.
About 18 of the submitted abstracts will be selected for presentation.
Submissions are encouraged in any area of scalable computing,
including (but not restricted to) the following:

   Algorithms 
   Analog computing 
   Architectures 
   Computer-aided design 
   Databases 
   Languages 
   Compilers 
   Mobile Computing 
   Networks 
   Numerical methods 
   Reliability 
   Scientific applications 
   Simulation 
   Storage hierarchies 
   Telepresence 
   Theory 
   VLSI chips 
   World Wide Web 



INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSIONS 

Please follow these instructions carefully. Submit a single-sided
original (for reproduction) and 15 double-sided and 3-hole punched
copies (for committee evaluation) of a 2-page abstract that briefly
describes the technical contributions of the work. The first page
*must* begin with a title, the author's name, and MIT and email
addresses.  Joint submissions by students are acceptable, but the
student making the presentation should be listed as first author.
Faculty coauthorship is not allowed, although student-written
abstracts based on joint work with faculty members are permitted. The
abstract should describe the essential ideas in the research and have
a short bibliography that includes any published papers or technical
memoranda on which the abstract is based. Every abstract should have
at least one figure, table, diagram, or photograph. A footnote on the
bottom of the first page should identify the student's faculty
supervisor and acknowledge research support. Abstracts should be
submitted to

MIT Student Workshop, Room NE43-201 

before the deadline of *Friday, May 1, 1995*. Papers selected for
presentation will be announced by June 16, 1995. In addition to
considering technical merit, the Program Commitee will select
presentations which provide an interesting cross-section of the
community. Papers submitted shortly after the deadline may be included
in the proceedings, but will not necessarily be considered for
presentation.

Also submit the following items (via anonymous ftp to
ftp://ftp.lcs.mit.edu/student-workshop/1995/) : 

   1. A postscript copy of your abstract *previewable by ghostview* 
   2. html containing abstract title, authors, and links to any 
      authors with web pages.
   3. Filenames for postscript should be: abstracts/Author1-...-Authorn.ps,
      eg. abstracts/Chery-Chong-Kleinberg.ps 
   4. Filenames for html should be: pointers/Author1-...-Authorn.html, eg.
      pointers/Chery-Chong-Kleinberg.html 
   5. Multiple submissions with the same author list should distinguish
      files with a number at the end (eg.
      abstracts/Chery-Chong-Kleinberg2.ps) 

Detailed instructions, latex templates, and html templates are available from 
ftp://ftp.lcs.mit.edu/student-workshop/1995/instructions/ 

Please follow the electronic instructions as closely as possible, as the review
and electronic distribution process will be automated. Papers may be
submitted for publication only, in which case only one single-sided hardcopy
is needed and the submission envelope should be clearly marked with "no
talk." (Not on the camera-ready copy!)
