                                                        ASIAN'99


                              Asian Computing Science Conference
                          Phuket, Thailand, December 10-12, 1999


          Conference Web Page: http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~asian99
          Paper submission deadline: July 12, 1999


BACKGROUND:
----------


The series of annual Asian Computing Science Conferences (ASIAN) was
initiated in 1995 by AIT, INRIA and UNU/IIST to provide a forum for
researchers in computer science from the Asian region and to promote
interaction with researchers from other regions. The first four
conferences have been held, respectively, in Bangkok, Singapore,
Katmandu and Manila. In addition to support from the host countries,
they have also been sponsored by INRIA, France, UNU/IIST, Macau and
NUS, Singapore. The proceedings have been published as Lecture Notes
in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag.


SCOPE:
------


The scope of the conferences has been a broad coverage of Computer Science,
but with a focus on a few chosen specific themes concerning the formal aspects
of algorithms, programming, concurrency and parallelism, networking and
security. The 1999 conference will continue to emphasize the conceptual
areas of Computer Science, though papers in all areas will be considered.
The following themes represent the areas of focus for this year:


    * Embedded and Real-Time Systems


    * Formal Reasoning and Verification


    * Distributed and Mobile Computing


INVITED SPEAKERS:
----------------


The keynote speaker at ASIAN'99 will be Amir Pnueli (Weizmann Institute,
Israel). The invited speakers are: Nicolas Halbwachs (VERIMAG, CNRS, France)
and Krishna Palem (Courant Institute, New York University, USA).


SUBMISSIONS:
-----------


We invite submissions on original research not published or submitted for
publication elsewhere. Submission procedure is described below.


The proceedings are to be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS
series. Plans are also being made to publish a special issue, in an
international journal, of papers selected from ASIAN'99. In addition to
regular papers, we hope to accept posters, which will appear as two-page
abstracts in the proceedings. Papers and posters must be presented at the
conference by one of the authors.

POST CONFERENCE ASIAN SCHOOL:
----------------------------


In conjunction with ASIAN99, the 11th Asian School on Computer Science
will be held from December 13-15, 1999, in Phuket, Thailand.
The school will offer an intensive course entitled:
    Automata, Circuit Design and Verification.
The course which will be conducted by Jean Vuillemin (Ecole Normale
Superieure), Gerard Berry (Ecole des Mines de Paris & INRIA) and
Nicolas Halbwachs (Verimag, CNRS). For more details, see the following URL:
