CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

	         Term: January 1997- December 1998
		

		       TECHNICAL COMMITTEE ON 
      OPERATING SYSTEMS AND APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTS (TCOS)
    
    The Technical Committee on Operating Systems and Application
    Environments (TCOS) is the point of contact within the IEEE
    Computer Society for research and development in these areas.  It
    publishes a quarterly bulletin with announcements and articles,
    usually "special issues" of material on a specific topic of
    interest to the membership.  It organizes and/or sponsors several
    workshops and conferences in the field, particularly the Workshop
    on Hot Topics in Operating Systems (formerly WWOS).

    TCOS is holding an election for Chair of the committee.  The
    previous Chair, Darrell Long, completed his term in June 1996.
    Fred Douglis is serving as interim Chair through December 1996.  In
    preparation for the election, TCOS is conducting a call for
    nominations for the position.

    After nominations are received, a ballot will be sent to all TCOS
    members to vote for the next TC chair, based on the slate of 
    candidates.  All nominations should include a brief biography and 
    position statement (not to exceed one page) for possible inclusion 
    with the election ballot.
    
    Please list those colleagues who you wish to nominate to run for the 
    position of TC Chair.  (Those running for TC Chair must be current 
    members of the Computer Society.)
