Call for Participation: ASIAN'97

                              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.
