CALL FOR PAPERS --- ASIAN'96
ASIAN COMPUTING SCIENCE CONFERENCE
Singapore, December 2-5, 1996
BACKGROUND
----------
The first conference ASIAN'95 (also called ACSC'95 last year) was held
in Bangkok, Thailand, in December 1995, organized by the Asian Institute
of Technology in partnership with INRIA, France, and the UNU/IIST, Macau.
Its main purpose was to provide a local forum for Asian researchers in
Computer Science. Its scope was a broad coverage of CS, though there was
a focus on the more conceptual areas of algorithms, concurrency and
knowledge. Its proceedings appeared as Springer-Verlag's LNCS 1023.
SCOPE
-----
The 1996 conference will continue to emphasize the conceptual areas of CS,
though papers in all areas will be considered. The following themes
represent the areas of focus for this year.
* Programming (semantics, languages, systems, paradigms, ...)
* Concurrency & Parallelism (algorithms, formalisms, systems, ...)
* Networking & Security (algorithms, protocols, formalisms, systems, ...)
INVITED SPEAKERS
----------------
The keynote speaker will be David HAREL (Weizmann Institute, Israel).
The invited speakers will be: Jean-Chrysostome BOLOT (INRIA, France) on
networking, Gert SMOLKA (DFKI Saarbruken, Germany) on programming languages,
and Doug TYGAR (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) on secure
electronic commerce.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
-----------------
By email, in a self-contained Postscript file (compressed and uuencoded), to
be complemented by a hard copy sent to the address of the program chair.
The length guidelines are 10--12 pages in 11-point font, and about 3000
words. For details, see the conference web page. The email address for
submissions is
asian96@iscs.nus.sg
PUBLICATION
-----------
The proceedings is expected to be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lectures Notes in Computer Science series. In addition to regular papers,
we hope to accept posters, which will appear as one-page abstracts in the
proceedings. Papers and posters must be presented at the conference by
one of the authors.
