Best regards Bjarne ========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Eighth International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems (WPDRTS 2000) May 1-2, 2000, Westin Regina Hotel - Cancun, Mexico (held in conjunction with IPDPS 2000) >>>>> SUBMISSION DEADLINE DECEMBER 1, 1999 <<<<< Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that demonstrate original unpublished research pertaining to real-time systems that have parallel and/or distributed architectures. Of interest are conceptual, experimental and implemented systems, their scientific and commercial applications, and theoretical foundations. Papers addressing multiple aspects of distributed and/or parallel real-time systems are of particular interest. The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems (WPDRTS) brings together researchers from different communities in order to fill a number of gaps. This is vital since it is becoming more and more evident that no single discipline or method can solve all the problems related to computer-based real-time applications. Parallel and distributed systems that are not real-time have many things in common with those that are, such as formal specification and design of concurrent aspects, communication and synchronization, exploitation of concurrency, and simulation. However, there are also considerable differences, such as the focus on maximal average performance for non-real-time concurrent systems and the focus on predictability and obeying the deadlines for concurrent real-time systems. Real-time systems frequently employ parallel and distributed computer platforms in order to meet timing constraints and to achieve fault-tolerance and availability. In order to come to a usable solution, the issues of concurrency and dependability must be considered simultaneously. However, it is often the case that researchers focus on problems relevant to concurrent processing while overlooking timeliness. Similarly, real-time computing research efforts are often focused on producing techniques that apply only to single-processor systems. Thus, WPDRTS covers many important research areas, while keeping in mind the common thread of parallel and distributed processing in real-time. All papers (not more than 10 pages) should be submitted to the appropriate program chair: Sang Hyuk Son (Chair for the Americas) (Email) son@REDACTED Maarten Boasson (Chair for Europe and Africa) (Email) boasson@REDACTED Yoshiaki Kakuda (Chair for Asia and Oceania) (Email) kakuda@REDACTED ================================================= WPDRTS 2000 Program Organization -------------------------------- General Chair ------------- Kenji Toda, Electrotechnical Laboratory, Japan Program Chairs -------------- Sang Hyuk Son, University of Virginia, USA Maarten Boasson, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Yoshiaki Kakuda, Hiroshima City University, Japan Publicity Chair --------------- Amy Apon, University of Arkansas, USA Program Committee ----------------- Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Virginia, USA Giorgio Buttazzo, Scuola Superiore, Italy Max Geerling, Chess IT, Haarlem, The Netherlands Jorgen Hansson, University of Skovde, Sweden Kenji Ishida, Hiroshima City University, Japan Michael B.

It has been available at the Open-source Erlang web-site since 24 November 1999. The URL of the open-source Erlang web site is: http://www.erlang.org At the web-site you can get all information about the new version and can of course download your own copy of open-source Erlang. Erlang is a programming language designed at the Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory. Ericsson Utvecklings AB is now responsible for development and maintenance of both open-source Erlang and the commercial version Erlang/OTP. Open-source Erlang is being released to help encourage the spread of Erlang outside Ericsson. We are releasing the entire source code and documentation of the Erlang system free of charge (see Erlang Public License at the web-site). Some of the main components of the Erlang system are: - the Erlang runtime system and compiler. - Mnesia, a distributed Database Management System. - a Corba 2.2 compliant ORB. - an SNMP V3 agent. - an HTTP-server. - an ASN.1 compiler. - extensive libraries of code for building robust fault tolerant distributed applications. The above software is continually tested and used in numerous Ericsson products such as the new Ericsson ATM switch AXD 301. /The Erlang product development team From per@REDACTED Mon Nov 29 18:38:38 1999 From: per@REDACTED (Per Hedeland) Date: Mon, 29 Nov 1999 18:38:38 +0100 (MET) Subject: Broken Windows version in R6B-0 Message-ID: <199911291738.SAA05448@aalborg.du.uab.ericsson.se> Hello, Unfortunately a pre-release build of the Windows version of R6B-0 was accidentally released initially - it had several problems, e.g. the documentation wasn't installed. The correct version is in place since Nov 29, 15:00 GMT - if you downloaded before that, please uninstall that version and get the new one instead. --Per Hedeland per@REDACTED
