                        ADVANCE PROGRAM

                 ACM 1999 Java Grande Conference

(formerly ACM Workshop on Java for High-Performance Network Computing)
                
                  Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

        Student Participation Supported by NSF and DARPA

           San Francisco, California, June 12-14, 1999 

            http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/conferences/java99 

The Java Grande conference focuses on the use of Java in the broad
area of high-performance computing; including engineering and 
scientific applications, simulations, data-intensive applications, 
and other emerging application areas that exploit parallel and 
distributed computing or combine communication and computing.  
The conference includes a day of tutorials and will be followed by 
the JavaOne conference, which would enable people to follow the 
Java Grande conference with an exposure to the latest in basic 
Java Technology. 

Many interesting talks, papers, and posters, including invited talks 
by Bill Joy (Sun), Donald F. Ferguson (IBM) and Matt Welsh (Berkeley).
