                            CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


                          FIRST ANNUAL WORKSHOP ON 
                     MESSAGE-DRIVEN EXECUTION AND CHARM                              
   
    Message-driven execution and related concepts variously known as
    data driven execution, macro dataflow, Actors, etc. are emerging as
    an effective strategy for efficient and modular parallel program
    design.  A message-driven program can tolerate communication
    latencies as well as adapt to variable delays in availability of
    remote data resulting in reduced idle times.  Since control can
    flow freely and cleanly across multiple concurrent modules, modular
    program design without sacrificing efficiency becomes possible.  In
    particular, one can automatically overlap idle times in one module
    with useful computations in another concurrent module. As the
    evidence for effectiveness of message-driven has started building
    up, the interest in the strategies has also increased.

    Charm, an object-oriented, message-driven parallel programming system 
    developed initially at the University of Illinois, was one the first 
    message-driven systems available on stock multicomputers.  Currently, 
    there are many research groups at various universities involved in 
    research related to Charm parallel programming system.
         
    This workshop will bring together the researchers involved in
    development of message-driven programming languages, such as Charm,
    development of tools for message-driven systems, and applications
    that use message-driven languages and strategies. The workshop will
    be held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on
    October 20-21 1994. More information about the local arrangements
    will be announced at a later date. The workshop will include
    presentations of research papers on message-driven language design,
    implementation strategies, performance analysis and debugging tools
    for message-driven programs, applications, and the performance
    impact of message-driven execution.  In addition, the workshop will
    include tutorials on using Charm and associated tools and panel
    discussions on specific topics to be decided later.

    To submit a paper for presentation at the workshop, submit a one-page 
    abstract by September 1 1994, to the address provided below. Electronic 
    submissions in PostScript format are encouraged. 

    Registration:
    To register to attend the workshop, please send the following form
    by email, fax or mail. The registration fee (payable to University
    of Illinois) for the workshop is $50, $15 for students.
    Information about tutorials will be released at later date.
