=======================================================================
 
The First Annual HPF User Group Meeting will be held February 24
to 26, 1997, at the Eldorado Hotel in Sante Fe, New Mexico. At this
time, it is anticipated that the meeting will end around noon on
Wednesday.  The meeting will provide an opportunity for users of HPF
to meet each other, share ideas and experience, and get up-to-date
information about implementations and future directions.

The day before the conference (February 23) will be devoted to
tutorials:
 
 o Introduction to HPF (morning)
 
      Covering the basics of programming in HPF.
 
 o HPF 2.0 (afternoon)
 
      Presentation of the newly-finalized HPF version 2.0.

The conference itself will include:
 
 o Invited Talks by HPF users
 
 o Invited Talks by HPF developers
 
 o Panel Discussions
 
        Ken Kennedy will moderate a panel discussion to promote
        user feedback on HPF.  The particular focuses of this panel
        will be to advise compiler developers on where to focus their
        efforts: What features do programmers use?  What features
        need better implementations?  Attendee participation is highly
        encouraged.
 
        Other panels may be added based on attendee interest.
        Proposals for panel sessions may be submitted through the
        "contributed talks" mechanism.
 
 o Contributed Talks from the HPF user community
 
 o Social Activities
 
      An opening reception will be held at the hotel Sunday evening.
      A banquet on Tuesday evening will be held at the hotel.

Conference attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts for
presentations at the meeting.
