ASIAN'03 -- Call for Participation

[----- The Types Forum, http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/types -----]

		  Call for Participation ---ASIAN'03
	      Eighth Asian Computing Science Conference

		 Mumbai, India, December 10-12, 2003
		Collocated with ICLP'03 and FSTTCS'03
		   http://www.cse.psu.edu/asian03/

The Eighth Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN'03, will be held
at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India, collocatied
with ICLP'03 (Dec.9-13, workshops Dec.8+14) and FSTTCS'03 (Dec.15-17,
workshops Dec.14).

The series of Asian Computing Science Conferences 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 proceedings have been published as Springer LNCS volumes.

The theme of this year's conference is Programming Languages and
Distributed Computation.  The conference features three invited talks 
by

 - Greg Morrisett (Cornell Univ., USA),
 - Mark Miller (Hewlett Packard Lab. and Johns Hopkins Univ., USA), and
 - Andrew Birrell (Microsoft Research, USA),

as well as sixteen refereed papers selected from 53 submissions.
