Background

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.

Scope

The 1997 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:

Invited Speakers

Keynote Speaker:
Prof. Michael Rabin (Harvard University and Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Invited Speakers:
Dr. Nicholas Ayache (INRIA, Sophia Antipolis)
Prof. Randy Bryant (CMU, Pittsburgh)

Paper Submission (closed)

Authors are invited to send manuscripts by e-mail in a self-contained PostScript file (gzipped and uuencoded), complemented by one hardcopy sent to the address (below) of R. K. Shyamasundar.

The length guidelines are 10-12 pages in 11-point font and 3000 words. In addition, a separate e-mail message should be sent containing the paper title and a 150-word abstract, authors, keywords, postal address, e-mail address and fax number.

E-mail submissions should be sent to both asian97@tcs.tifr.res.in and asian97@ueda.info.waseda.ac.jp . If e-mail is not available, five hardcopies and the above coversheet information should be sent to R. K. Shyamasundar.

Publication

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. 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.
