The thrust of IOPADS has always been to bring together researchers in all aspects of parallel I/O, which we broadly place into five categories: architecture, algorithms, applications, file and operating systems, and compilers and runtime systems. It is our opinion that the problems of parallel I/O are most effectively addressed by investigating all these areas rather than working in each area in isolation. Although I/O-related papers appear in many other conferences, the value of IOPADS is in gathering interested researchers from all these areas of computer science, encouraging cross-disciplinary interaction, rather than working in each area in isolation. Through ACM Press, IOPADS will publish a formal proceedings, which will be provided to all registrants and will be available for sale at FCRC and afterwards. FCRC is the Federated Computing Research Conference, which was last held in 1993. In 1996, FCRC will include many exciting conferences and workshops under one roof: ICS, IOPADS, ISCA, PADS, PLDI, PODC, SIGMETRICS, STOC, WOPA, Workshop on Academic Careers for Women, Symposium on Computational Geometry, Conference on Computational Complexity, Symposium on Networks and Information Management, Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Tools, and Conference on Functional Programming. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TENTATIVE PROGRAM for May 27, 1996 8:00- 8:45 Breakfast 8:45- 9:00 Opening remarks 9:00-10:30 Session 1: Applications and Language Support Chair: Charles Koelbel, Rice University Efficient Data-Parallel Files via Automatic Mode Detection Jason A.
