                             The Drake Hotel
                            Chicago, Illinois

SPONSORS:
   - IEEE Computer Society 
   - Distributed Supercomputing Lab at Argonne National Laboratory 
   - High Performance Distributed Computing Laboratory at Syracuse University

IN COOPERATION WITH:
   - National Computational Science Alliance
   - Rome Laboratory

THEME:

The Seventh International Symposium on High Performance Distributed
Computing is a forum for presenting the latest research findings on
the use of networked systems for high-performance computing.
Submissions are encouraged on all aspects of high performance
distributed computing, including hardware technologies, the middleware
that ties distributed resources together into ``computational grids,"
and tools and languages that support application development. Papers
discussing advanced user interfaces, such as those employing
distributed collaborative virtual reality for communication and
analysis, are of particular interest. Case studies describing novel
applications are also encouraged. Papers receiving the best reviews
will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the
journal Cluster Computing.


TOPICS OF INTEREST (include, but are not limited to):

- Software environments and language support for high performance 
  distributed computing
- Applications and case studies of high performance distributed computing
- Parallel and distributed algorithms to solve computationally
  intensive problems in networked environments
- Multimedia and teleimmersive applications
- Distributed multimedia and teleimmersion
- High performance I/O and file systems
- Security, configuration, and management issues
- Fault tolerance
- Architectural support for high-speed communications or
  interconnection networks
- Efficient communication interfaces for distributed computing
- Gigabit network architectures
- Remote collaboration tools

PAPER SUBMISSIONS:

Authors are requested to submit extended abstracts of at most 3000
words, not including figures or references.  Abstracts should be
written so as to be self contained and to provide the technical
substance required for the program committee to evaluate the paper's
contribution.  Excessively long abstracts will be rejected outright.
Papers submitted to or published in another conference or a journal
are ineligible for this conference.

Abstracts must be submitted by February 8, 1998.  Electronic
submission is preferred; see http://www.mcs.anl.gov/hpdc7/ for
details.  Authors will be notified by April 25, 1998, and final
camera-ready copies are due by May 22, 1998.


TUTORIAL SUBMISSIONS:

Tutorial proposals should be submitted to the Tutorials Chair by
March 1, 1998.

EXHIBITS AND TECHNICAL DEMONSTRATIONS:

Proposals for exhibits and technical demonstrations should be submitted
to hpdc7@mcs.anl.gov by March 1, 1998.  A prize will be offered for the
demonstration judged to make the most effective use of
high-performance distributed computing.
