The third Asian Computing Science Conference, \asian{'97}, will be
held in Kathmandu on December 9--12, 1997 at the Hotel Yak \& Yeti.

\medskip
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.

\medskip
The  1997  conference will continue to emphasize the conceptual areas of
Computer Science.  The following
themes represent the areas of focus for this year:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
$\bullet$ Programming Languages and Compilation Technology\\
$\bullet$ Formal Reasoning and Constraints\\
$\bullet$ Real-Time Computing\\
$\bullet$ Network/Mobile Computing
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

{\uchyph=0
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.\par}
