USENIX C++ conference in Denver, October 17-20, 1988

[ark at alice.UUCP]

The first full USENIX converence on C++ will be
held in Denver, Colorado, Monday through
Thursday, October 17-20 1988.  A one-day
limited-enrollment implementor's workshop will
follow the conference on Friday, October 21.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of C++, including

	applications
	libraries
	new or improved implementations
	programming environments
	case studies

We intend this conference to be interesting to a
broad range of C++ users and potential users.
Even if you have never written a C++ program, you
will probably be able to learn enough from the
tutorials to follow the technical sessions.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Tutorials, Monday and Tuesday, October 17-18

The tutorial program is ideal for people who have
been thinking about using C++ but haven't had the
opportunity to learn it.  In addition, we expect to
cover selected advanced topics for people who are
already using C++.

Please contact the program chair if you are
interested in giving a tutorial or have a topic
you would particularly like to see covered.

Technical sessions, Wednesday and Thurdsay, October 19-20

One characteristic of C++ that stands out is the
diversity of its applications and users.  They range
from microcomputers to large systems, from graphics
and databases to real-time process control, from
single-programmer efforts to large projects.

The technical sessions will present a cross-section
of this diverse and rapidly growing community.

Implementor's Workshop, Friday, October 21

This small workshop is intended for people who are
actively involved in C++ implementation.  The workshop
fee covers hotel accommodations for Thursday and Friday
nights, meals through Friday lunch, and round-trip
transportation leaving Denver after the main technical
sessions and returning Saturday morning.

The workshop is primarily for speakers at this and last
year's C++ meetings.  If space permits, a few others will be
admitted.  If you don't want to speak at the conference, but
wish to attend the workshop, let us know and submit a paper
or abstract of your relevant work just as you would if you
were interested in speaking at the conference.  Details
about the workshop will be sent with acceptance notices.
