                        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. 

This conference will feature invited talks by Bill Joy (Sun) and
Donald Ferguson (IBM).
