			  CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

	2ND SIGMETRICS SYMPOSIUM ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED TOOLS

			     August 3-4, 1998

	     The Resort at the Mountain, Welches, Oregon, USA

The Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Tools (SPDT) is a conference
dedicated to tool support needed for the programming and use of parallel
and distributed computer systems.  Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS, this
conference covers a broad spectrum of tool technology issues from
fundamental research questions concerning tool functionality to problems in
tool design and implementation to the usability of tools in real
environments.  Tool researchers, system designers, implementors, and users
are invited to participate in a focussed and lively forum inherited from
the tenor of the previous meeting and its predecessor workshops.  Topics of
specific interest include (but are not limited to):

program debugging			performance optimization
program/system visualization		perturbation analysis
automated performance debugging		performance-directed adaptive control
tools for parallel languages		tools for metacomputing
new tool architectures and paradigms	measurement architectures and systems
program interaction and steering	experiences in debugging/tuning
					  large-scale applications


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