------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contributions  to a  special  Work-In-Progress  (WIP)  session of RTSS'96  are
sought.  RTSS'96 WIP will be  devoted to the presentation  of new and on-going
projects in real-time systems   and applications.  The  prime purpose  of this
session is to  provide  researchers an  opportunity to  discuss their evolving
ideas and gather feedback thereon from the  real-time community at large.  The
RTSS'96  WIP session will  be held  on Wednesday,  December  4, 1996, and will
consist   of 10-minute  presentations    of all accepted  submissions.   Also,
accepted submissions  will be  included in  a special  RTSS'96 WIP proceedings
which will be distributed to all RTSS'96 conference  participants, and will be
available electronically from the IEEE-CS TC-RTS Home Page on the WWW.

Submissions to  RTSS'96 WIP should describe original  on-going work and should
be   limited to 2,000  words.   Submissions  dealing  with real-time issues in
applications such as multimedia, networking,  middleware services, and process
control, as well  as reports describing  on-going  system building  efforts in
such applications are  strongly encouraged.  Please  send all submissions  via
Email to RTSS'96 WIP Chair:

   Azer Bestavros
     Computer Science Dept      Email: best@cs.bu.edu
     Boston University          Phone: (617) 493-2823

The deadline for submissions is October 15,  1996.  Notification of acceptance 
will be emailed  on  November 1, 1996.  For  more information,  please contact
RTSS'96 WIP Chair or check the RTSS'96 WIP Home Page at:
