                OPTIMIZATION  IN  PARALLELIZING  COMPILERS                      
                                                                                
                                                                                
  Papers are solicited for the Software Technology mini-track on "Optimization  
  in Parallelizing Compilers" at the 29th Hawaii International Conference on    
  System Sciences, HICSS-29, Maui, Hawaii - January 3-6, 1996. HICSS-29 is      
  sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and the University of Hawaii. Experts      
  in the field willing to act as referees are also sought.                      
                                                                                
  The papers selected for presentation will appear in the Conference            
  Proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. After      
  the conference, the extended versions of the accepted papers will be          
  considered for a journal publication in a special issue of "Scientific        
  Programming".

  The minitrack will focus on the current research in compiler optimizations    
  which exploit various architectural developments that have taken place in     
  recent years. We invite papers that may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial,
  or descriptive in nature in this area.
