Apollo Computer would like to invite you to a Birds-Of-a-Feather (BOF)
on "Distributed Unix Systems" being held Wednesday, June 10, from
8:00Pm-10:00Pm in the Curtis-B room of the Hyatt Regency.

This BOF will focus on Unix in a network computing environment.
Systems such a NFS and RFS have been fairly successful in providing file
sharing in a distributed environment, but the issues of compute sharing
have been less well-addressed.  The BOF will begin with a presentation
by Apollo Computer on the Network Computing System (NCS) as a base for
compute sharing.  After that the floor will be opened to general discussion
of issues in network computing environments: heterogeneity; name, location,
and failure transparency; and authentication.

Hope to see you in Phoenix !
