CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
1st SIGMETRICS Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Tools

May 22-23, 1996
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

ACM Logo

ACM SIGMETRICS is sponsoring a new conference on tools for parallel and distributed programming. This conference has grown out of several very successful workshops, including the ACM/ONR Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Debugging, Workshop on Debugging and Performance Tuning for Parallel Computing Systems, and Supercomputer Debugging `9x. The conference will bring together researchers, system designers, implementors, and users in a common forum to discuss program monitoring, debugging, and control for parallel and distributed systems. Topics of specific interest include (but are not limited to):
static and dynamic analysis techniques; performance prediction;
program visualization, auralization, and animation; perturbation analysis
debugging/tuning parallelized code; tools for high-level parallel languages
race detection; architectural support for measurement & debugging;
program instrumentation; network measurement and debugging;
new debugging and monitoring paradigms; experiences in debugging/tuning large applications;
descriptions of interesting research or commercial debuggers.

This conference will be held as part of the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC `96).

Submissions may be hard copy or electronic (electronic submissions are preferred).
