                        CALL FOR PAPERS --- ASIAN'96

                     ASIAN COMPUTING SCIENCE CONFERENCE

                       Singapore, December 2-5, 1996


                                 BACKGROUND
                                 ----------

The  first  conference  ASIAN'95 (also called ACSC'95 last year) was held
in Bangkok, Thailand, in December 1995, organized by the Asian Institute
of Technology in partnership with INRIA, France, and the UNU/IIST, Macau.
Its main purpose was to provide a local forum for Asian researchers in
Computer Science.  Its scope was a  broad coverage of CS, though there was
a focus on the more conceptual areas of algorithms, concurrency and
knowledge.  Its proceedings appeared as  Springer-Verlag's LNCS 1023.


                                   SCOPE
                                   -----

The  1996  conference will continue to emphasize the conceptual areas of CS,
though papers in all areas will be considered.  The following themes
represent the areas of focus for this year.

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


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

The  keynote  speaker will be David HAREL (Weizmann Institute, Israel).  
The invited speakers will be:  Jean-Chrysostome BOLOT (INRIA, France) on 
networking,  Gert SMOLKA (DFKI Saarbruken, Germany) on programming languages,
and Doug TYGAR (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) on secure 
electronic commerce.
