Call for Participation -- ASIAN'97
Asian Computing Science Conference
Kathmandu, Nepal, December 9--12, 1997
The third Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN'97, will be held in
Kathmandu on December 9--12, 1997 at the Hotel Yak & Yeti.
The series of annual Asian Computing Science Conferences (ASIAN for
short) was started in 1995 to provide a forum for researchers in
computer science from the Asian region and to promote interaction with
researchers from other regions. The first conference was held in
Bangkok, organized by the Asian Institute of Technology. The second
conference, ASIAN'96, was held in Singapore, organized by National
University of Singapore. Both were held in partnership with INRIA,
France, and the UNU/IIST, Macau. The proceedings were published as
Lecture Notes in Computer Science 1023 and 1179 from Springer-Verlag.
Their scope was a broad coverage of Computer Science, though there was
a focus on the more conceptual areas of algorithms, programming,
concurrency and parallelism, networking and security.
The 1997 conference will continue to emphasize the conceptual areas of
Computer Science. The following themes represent the areas of focus
for this year:
o Programming Languages and Compilation Technology
o Formal Reasoning and Constraints
o Real-Time Computing
o Network/Mobile Computing
Of the 94 papers submitted, the Program Committee has selected 24
regular papers and 10 poster papers. The conference will have Prof.
Michael Rabin (Harvard University and Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
as the keynote speaker, and Dr. Nicholas Ayache (INRIA, Sophia
Antipolis) and Prof. Randy Bryant (CMU, Pittsburgh) as invited
speakers.

ASIAN'97 Workshops
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Network Security: Birds of a Feather Session
[organized by Doug Tygar (CMU), tygar@cs.cmu.edu]
Description: We invite all ASIAN-97 attendees to make brief (5-10
minute) presentations on recent results, projects, position
statements, reactions, or ideas in a special "Birds of a Feather"
session devoted to networking and security on Friday morning. ALL
attendees are invited to present and participate! This will also
be an opprotunity for lively discussion on recent work. We will
distribute a sign-up sheet for BoF session at the ASIAN-97
meeting.
Concurrency, Distribution and Mobility
[organized by Jean-Jacques Levy (INRIA) and
Catuscia Palamidessi (U. Genova), catuscia@disi.unige.it]
Description: This workshop, which will be rather informal,
is meant to be an opportunity for people to discuss their recent
(or old, and undeservedly forgotten) results in the following,
and related, topics: Concurrency Theory,
Distributed Systems,
Names Mobility,
Agents Mobility.
All people interested in these topics are welcome to participate.
Those who intend to give a talk should send the title and a short
abstract to Catuscia Palamidessi <catuscia@disi.unige.it> and to
Roland Yap <ryap@iscs.nus.edu.sg>
Workshop-only participants are encouraged to pre-register. Information
about registration and local arrangements are available at the ASIAN 97 web
page:
