You are invited to attend the last  GSL  Workshop on the Management of
Digested Data,  which will  be  held Friday,  May  18th at  the  usual
location.  This workshop will bring together students, researchers and
developers interested in the various problems raised by the management
of digested data in distributed research groups.  Possible topic areas
to be addressed include:

*  Experiences with cavity-tolerant  management  of digested data

*  Recent advances in digestion control protocols (Pepto-bismal)

*  Efficient buffet queueing strategies

*  Identifying significant levels of palatable consistency

*  Estimating the overall reliability of distributed research groups
   that depend on digested data,

*  Commercial application of digested data and GSL services

*  Current technologies (how they work, what they are suitable for)

To maintain  a true  workshop  setting, attendance will  be limited to
around  sixty  active graduate  students    in the  field.   Potential
attendees should mail eight copies of a two to four course GSL menu to
Reid Rubsamen, the  program committee chair, by  April 15, 1990.  This
proposed menu should describe the required ingredients in sufficiently
detailed  quantities  that automated   robotic preparation of the meal
should be possible using off-the-shelf technology.  The authors should
mention possible insights and lessons gained  from recent research and
practical experience.
