                       CALL FOR PAPERS: WISP 99

            Second Workshop on Internet Server Performance
                 in conjunction with ACM SIGMETRICS 99/FCRC
                      Atlanta, GA, May 1st, 1999

WWW servers have become the primary point-of-presence for information
dissemination and retrieval over both the wide-area Internet and within 
institutional Intranets.  WWW servers are now ubiqutious front ends
for both traditional content such as text, video, and audio, as well as 
remote execution services, such as online purchasing and database queries.
In all these scenarios, server performance is a central issue in
providing ubiquitous, reliable, and efficient information access.

The second Workshop on Internet Server Performance (WISP 99) seeks to 
bring together researchers and practitioners of this interdisciplinary 
area to exchange ideas and experiences.  WISP 99 encourages submissions 
describing promising work in progress and well-founded position papers 
concerning WWW server performance.  Papers on experimental systems and 
results are especially encouraged.  Topics of interest include, but are 
not limited to:

         Server Architecture and Implementation
         Proxy Server Performance
	 Server Support for Continuous Media
         Server-Database Integration
         Electronic Commerce
         Dynamic Content
         Server Quality of Service/Differentiated Services
         Workload Characterization 
         Performance Measurement and Monitoring Tools
         SMP's, Clusters, and Load Balancing

Submission Instructions

Works in progress and position papers not exceeding 3000 words (excluding 
figures and references) are solicited.  Submissions will only be accepted 
electronically via email, in either postscript, PDF, word, or HTML formats.
