          HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING WORKSHOP

                April  15,16  1996 
        Sheraton Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii

        sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
       Technical Committee on Parallel Processing



CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:   The  5th  Heterogeneous  Computing
Workshop  (HCW  '96), sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on Parallel Processing, will be held  in
conjunction  with the 10th International Parallel Processing
Symposium (IPPS '96), April  15-19,  1996,  at   the  Shera-
ton Waikiki in  Honolulu, Hawaii.


SYMPOSIUM:  The 10th International Parallel Processing  Sym-
posium   (IPPS   '96)   will   be   held  April 15-19 at the
Sheraton Waikiki  in  Honolulu,  Hawaii.  The  symposium  is
sponsored  by  the  IEEE  Computer Society   Technical  Com-
mittee  on  Parallel  Processing  in  cooperation  with  ACM
SIGARCH.    IPPS   '96   is   a   forum   for engineers  and
scientists  from around the  world  to  present  the  latest
research findings in all aspects of parallel processing.   A
full  version of the Call for Papers  for IPPS available  at
http://www.usc.edu/dept/ceng/prasanna/meetings/ipps/ippshome.html
on the World Wide Web.


WORKSHOP:  This is the 5th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop.
Heterogeneous Computing is the coordinated use of distributed
resources   to   efficiently  solve  large-scale   problems.
Problem sizes of interest may require  more  resources  than
can  efficiently  be  accessed  within  a  single  platform.
Applications  implemented on heterogeneous platforms achieve
performance by

     +    aggregating memory from distributed sources,

     +    coordinating distinct data sources,

     +    exploiting the affinity of tasks to diverse   com-
          putational platforms or paradigms, and/or

     +    coordinating distinct administrative domains.

     The 5th Heterogeneous Computing workshop  will  feature
an  invited  address,  submitted paper presentations, and a
joint session with the Scheduling Workshop. Authors  are  invited
to  submit manuscripts that demonstrate original unpublished
research in  all  areas  of  Heterogeneous  Computing.   The
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

     +    Basic Models and Performance Measures

     +    Efficient Resource Management Strategies

     +    Transparent Mechanisms  for   Storing   and   Han-
          dling Data

     +    System Interfaces and Programming Tools

     +    Failure Resilience Strategies

     +    "Proof of Concept" Application Implementations


SUBMITTING PAPERS:  All papers will be reviewed by the  pro-
gram  committee.   Please  submit  12  copies of an extended
abstract  (not  to  exceed  10  double-spaced,  single-sided
pages) to:

     Francine Berman
     Department of  Computer  Science  and  Engineering 0114
     U. C. San Diego
     La Jolla, California 92093
     (619)5347029 (fax)
     berman@cs.ucsd.edu


     Indicate in your cover letter if your paper is 
appropriate for the joint session with the Scheduling workshop.  
In addition, please indicate if you are willing to have your 
paper  included as a poster if it is not accepted as a paper
presentation.  Manuscripts MUST be received by January 12, 1996.
Notification of  review  decisions  will be mailed after 
February  20,  1996.   Camera-ready  papers will be due 
March 1, 1996.  Proceedings will be available on the World-Wide
Web and at the Workshop.
