                        MIT Student Workshop on
                     High-Performance Computing in
                         Science and Engineering

	              Saturday, September 27, 1997
			   MIT Endicott House


	The MIT Laboratory for Computer Science is organizing the
seventh annual Student Workshop to promote the exchange of ideas among
students working in research areas related to high-performance
computing in science and engineering. Students --- graduate,
undergraduate, and postdoctoral --- are invited to submit 2-page
abstracts describing recent work. Abstracts will appear in proceedings
which will be distributed at the workshop, and which will subsequently
appear as an LCS Technical Report. About 18 of the submitted abstracts
will be selected for presentation. Submissions are encouraged in any
area of computing, including (but not limited to):

			Algorithms
			Computational fluid dynamics
			Computational modeling
			Computer architecture
			Computer-aided design
			Distributed Computing
			Error Estimation
			Fault tolerance
			Graphics and visualization
			Interconnection networks
			Iterative methods
			Simulation
			Storage hierarchies

Submissions: 
============

	Authors are requested to submit a single-sided original and 15
double-sided, 3-hole-punched copies of a 2-page abstract. Also, via
anonymous ftp to ftp://theory.lcs.mit.edu/workshop/1997/, a
postscript copy of the abstract previewable by Ghostview, and HTML
containing abstract title, authors, and links to any home pages.
Detailed instructions, LaTeX templates, and HTML templates are
available from ftp://theory.lcs.mit.edu/workshop/1997/instructions/
Please follow the electronic instructions as closely as possible, as
the review and electronic distribution process will be automated.
Papers may be submitted for publication only, in which case only one
single-sided hardcopy is needed and the submission envelope should be
clearly marked with "no talk". Format: The first page of the abstract
must begin with a title, the authors' names, and MIT and e-mail
addresses. Joint submissions by students are acceptable, but the
student making the presentation should be listed as first author.
Faculty coauthorship is not allowed, although student-written
abstracts based on joint work with faculty members are permitted. The
abstract should describe the essential ideas in the research and have
a short bibliography that includes any papers or technical memoranda
on which the abstract is based. Every abstract should have at least
one figure, table, diagram, or photograph. A footnote on the bottom of
the first page should identify the student's faculty supervisor and
acknowledge research support.

Addresses and Dates: 
====================
