For those of you on the Internet with copyright permission, I have updated
the bibliography.  Please do you anonymous ftp's in the evening PDT.

Recently, while updating bibliographic entries, I have noticed a
disturbing trend.  I had to resolve in excess of 300 name conflicts
in 8,000 entries.  Most were updates in status from TRs to Journals or Books.
But a sizeable percentage were papers published in more than one location
(31 titles total), and papers/texts with the same title, but different
authors/contents, etc. (18, remember double each of these counts for a
lower bound).  Increasing interest is creating a bigger headache.

For example: popular titles include:
%T Distributed Operating Systems (one book, one article)
%T Elliptic Problem Solvers
%T Supercomputers (3 books this title)
%T Supercomputers in Theoretical and Experimental Science (one book, one
article)
%T A Framework for Distributed Problem Solving
%T Estimating Speedup in Parallel Parsing
%T Multi-grid solvers on parallel computers

One interesting name conflict seems to come from titles of SIMD processors
such as
%T The Distributed Array Processor
%T The Massively Parallel Processor
which occur in some cases 4-5 times.  Will Connection Machine papers be
far behind?

I strongly recommend that you consider the titles for your papers
carefully.  I will be posting this update to the other
groups pertaining to parallel computing as well (parsym, ailist
supercomputer), please excuse any duplication, but I will not be
cross-posting this to comp.arch.  Even if you don't have my bibliography
consider using DIALOG [not as good].  Those sites where I maintain
your copies, have been updated.  Check the tail of README and
the size of the main file, should be *55. or so.
