The 18th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems
Center of Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI)
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
May 26 - 29, 1998
******************************************************************
The purpose of this conference is to bring together developers
and researchers from universities, industry and government to
advance the science and technology in distributed computing.
The technical areas of the conference include:
Distributed Multi-media and Digital Libraries
Mobile Systems
Internet Applications
Multi-agent and Market-oriented Computing
Distributed Databases and Information Systems
Interoperable Systems
Communication Protocols
Distributed Operating Systems
Distributed Software Engineering & Languages
Distributed Algorithms and Verification Techniques
Fault Tolerance, Availability and Security
Cooperative and Groupware Systems
Distributed Real-Time Systems
Papers in these areas are sought. Of particular interest are papers
on novel applications, such as digital libraries, Internet
applications including electronic commerce, multi-media information
servers, and virtual-reality systems, that are made possible by ultra
high-performance and high-capacity networks and distributed systems.
In addition to research papers, case-study reports detailing
experiments and evaluations of, and open problems in, the
specification, design, development and validation of advanced
distributed computing and communication systems are also sought.
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
