                    Architecture Minitrack on Transputer Research

     This is to announce an architecture minitrack for the HICSS-22 conference
     in Hawaii on Transputer based research.  The minitrack will contain sever
     sessions (a session is three papers on a given topic) on architectures
     using Transputers, algorithms, application areas, Operating Systems, ASIC
     and other areas to be determined (or suggested!!!). I plan on having a
     forum for interested parties to discuss transputer architecture issues.

     I am looking for papers in these areas and session coordinators.  This is
     an early call for papers but will permit me to create a better minitrack
     for all of us.  Please post this and inform all interested parties to
     contact me. Thanks, ALOHA

     What follows is the conference overview..................



                 HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES

                 HICSS-22 SOFTWARE TRACK INTENT TO PARTICIPATE FORM

                        Twenty-Second Annual HICSS Conference
                               Jan. 3-6, 1989, Hawaii

      GENERAL INFORMATION
      HICSS provides  a forum  for the  interchange of  ideas, research
     results,  development activities,  and  applications among  academicians
     and  practitioners  in the  information, computing, and  system sciences.
     HICSS is  sponsored by the University of Hawaii  in cooperation with the
     ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and the Pacific Research Institute for
     Information  Systems and  Management (PRIISM).   HICSS-22 will consist of
     tutorials, open  forums, task forces,  a distinguished lecturer  series,
     and  the presentation  of accepted manuscripts which emphasize  research
     and development activities in software technology, architecture, decision
     support and knowledge-based  systems, emerging technologies  and advanced
     applications.  The best  papers, selected by the program committee in eac
     of these areas, are given an award at the meeting.  There is a high degre
     of interaction and discussion among the conference  participants as the
     meeting is conducted in a workshop-like setting.

      INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS
