                   PRELIMINARY PROGRAM --- ASIAN'96

                  ASIAN COMPUTING SCIENCE CONFERENCE

                       RELC International Hotel

                  2nd - 5th December, 1996, Singapore


The 1996 Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN'96, will be held in
Singapore on December 2nd - 5th, 1996 at the RELC International Hotel.
The main purpose of the ASIAN'9x conferences is to provide a local forum
for Asian researchers in computer science.  The scope of the conference
is a broad coverage of computer science with a focus on the conceptual
areas of computer science with some selected themes every year.

This is the second time the conference is being held. The first conference
ASIAN'95 (also called ACSC'95 last year) was held in Bangkok, Thailand,
in December 1995, and was organized by the Asian Institute of Technology 
in partnership with INRIA, France, and the UNU/IIST, Macau.
Its proceedings appeared as Springer-Verlag's LNCS 1023.

The following themes represent the areas of focus for this year,
though there are many papers in other areas:

* Programming (semantics, languages, systems, paradigms, ...)
* Concurrency & Parallelism (algorithms, formalisms, systems, ...)
* Networking & Security (algorithms, protocols, formalisms, systems, ...)

The main conference will be held from Monday, 2nd December, 1996 to
Wednesday, 4th December, 1996.  A conference reception and pre-registration
will be held on Sunday, 1st, December in the evening at the conference
venue, RELC.  After the conference, there will be three post-conference 
workshops on Thursday, 5th December, 1996.


                           INVITED SPEAKERS
                           ----------------
