XPreliminary Announcement
X.LP
XThe UKUUG summer 1990 technical conference will take place
Xat the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 11th\-13th July,
Xpreceded by two days of advanced tutorials beginning on
XMonday 9th July. The three day conference offers
Xpresentations by world renown exponents of UNIX related
Xsystems supported by `work in progress' and `poster'
Xsessions. A pre-conference registration pack containing
Xdetailed information will be issued in March 1990.
X.SH
XTheme and Distinguished Speakers
X.LP
XThe UNIX kernel has \fBevolved\fP over a 20 year period during
Xwhich Brian Kernighan coined the name UNIX, popularised
Xthe tools philosophy, and with co-author Rob Pike, wrote a
Xdefinitive book `The UNIX Programming
XEnvironment.'   Throughout this era, the UNIX system has
Xacquired \fBlegendary\fP status whilst exploding in
Xcoverage and geographic distribution, and bestowing great
Xhonour and world-wide recognition upon Ken Thompson, one of
Xits principal architects. Research continues at Bell Labs
Xinfluenced by the Cambridge Distributed Computing System.
X.LP
XBrian Kernighan will speak upon the progress which has
Xbeen made in the development of programming environments,
Xlanguages, tools and even `methodologies', discussing how
Xpast experiences will influence their future evolution. Ken
XThompson, Rob Pike and Dave Presotto have been conducting
Xresearch into a successor to UNIX entitled `Plan 9 from Bell
XLabs.'  The result is a novel and innovative distributed
Xsystem which runs counter to the popular trend in computing
Xenvironments, namely workstations connected by local area
Xnetworks. Each will speak on his contribution to the
Xproposal of a new system based on clusters of file servers
Xand execute servers connected by high speed networks. 
X.LP
XOther noteworthy presenters include Jon Bentley, author of
X`Programming Pearls' and a column in CACM; Doug Comer,
Xdesigner of the XINU system; Piers Dick-Lauder, creator of
Xthe `Share Scheduler' along with Dennis Ritchie; Stu Feldman,
Xthe inventor of \fBmake\fP who wrote the \fBf77\fP Fortran
Xcompiler single handedly; James Gosling, originator of the visual
Xeditor \fBemacs\fP and a NeWS & X enthusiast; Mike Karels
Xand Kirk McKusick, principal investigators of 4.3 BSD; and
Xthe prolific author Andy Tanenbaum, creator of the MINIX system.
X.SH
XCall for Papers
X.LP
XTechnical papers are sought in \fBall\fP areas of UNIX related
Xresearch and development, which includes work associated
Xwith programming languages like \fIC\fP and
X\fIC++\fP. Accepted papers will be published in the
Xconference proceedings and presented during the three days
Xof technical sessions.
X.LP
XOf particular interest, but \fBnot\fP confined to this area
Xalone, are new and interesting submissions about distributed
Xenvironments: file systems, data bases, execution and load
Xbalancing, kernels, windowing systems, etc. Also welcome
Xare papers concerning tools, `little languages', networks,
Xsecurity, system administration and standards.
X.bp
X.SH
XMethod of Submission and Important Dates
X.LP
X\fBExtended abstracts\fP of between two and four pages in length
Xare invited describing the nature of the work along with a
Xsummary of results and conclusions. All abstracts must
Xbe submitted to the Programme Director who
Xis willing to provide advice to potential speakers. High
Xquality original work will be regarded much more favourably
Xthan re-runs of previous papers.  \fBSubmissions from
Xstudents are encouraged and will be particularly favoured\fP.

XSolicitation for Other Contributions
X.LP
XOne day, advanced tutorials play an important role in UKUUG's
Xactivities and so experts are encouraged to discuss topics
Xand subject matter with the Programme Director. For the
Xfirst time at a UKUUG conference, a `work in progress'
Xsession will be held where 10\-15 minute slots are on offer,
Xwith priority being given to reports of student project and
Xresearch activity. For those preferring one-to-one
Xcontact, `poster' sessions are available in the terminal
Xroom next to the auditorium for technical sessions.

XThe House of Lancaster is commonly used to describe the line
Xof English Kings immediately descended from John of Gaunt
X(1340-1399), fourth son of Edward III, which started in 1362
Xwhen he was created Duke of Lancaster.  His three
Xmarriages to Blanche, Constance and Catherine produced a
Xline of \fInine\fP kings.

X.ce 0
X.LP
XThe UK UNIX systems User Group is the only British body
Xaffiliated with the European UNIX systems User Group, the
X\fIumbrella\fP organisation to the National Groups existing
Xin many European countries. EUUG is comprised primarily of
Xinstitutional and individual members of affiliated national
Xgroups. There are, at present, 16 National Groups with a
Xtotal membership of approximately 4000. The advantage of such a
Xstructure is that UKUUG members can accrue the benefits of
XUK activities (for example, permission to connect to UKnet,
Xpart of the world-wide UNIX computer network) as well as the
Xservices provided by EUUG.
X.LP
XThe UKUUG membership is drawn from the information
Xtechnology, commercial and research/academic sectors in
Xequal proportions. The membership demonstrates diverse
Xskills which facilitates working with, for example,
Xsoftware engineers, computer manufacturers or end-users,
Xwho might be employed by software houses, universities or
Xresearch centres. There exist a wide range of backgrounds.
XThey all share the fact that they are
XUNIX users, whether they develop kernel modifications, build
Xapplications and software tools, are involved in teaching
Xand research, use the system in a turnkey environment, or
Xany other sphere of interest. The UKUUG is unique in
Xcatering for the needs of users \fBwhile\fP being completely
Xindependent from  specific hardware manufacturers and
Xsoftware vendors. In order to maintain this independence,
Xthe UKUUG is funded entirely from membership subscriptions.
XNeedless to say, all major suppliers of UNIX and
XUNIX-related systems are members. Members of UKUUG are
Xespecially active in UK and European standards bodies
Xsuch as the British Standards Institute (BSI) and the
XInternational Standards Organisation.
X.LP
XServices provided by UKUUG and EUUG include: conferences;
Xworkshops; newsletters; technical journals; software
Xdistributions; catalogues; UKnet and EUnet, the British and
XEuropean branches of the world-wide UNIX computer network;
Xexternal relations, with international standards groups,
Xother world-wide user groups, and the press in all countries
Xwhere UNIX licences exist; and accounting and administrative
Xfunctions through their respective Secretariats.
X.LP

Xinformation pack is available from the UKUUG, Owles Hall, Owles Lane,
