Subject: Second International Workshop on Distributed Algorithms
2nd International Workshop
on
DISTRIBUTED ALGORITHMS
Amsterdam(NL), July 8-10, 1987
Following the successful Workshop on Distributed Algorithms on Graphs in
Ottawa(1985), the second Workshop of this kind will be held at the Centre
for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam, July 8-10, 1987. The
Workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and other parties
interested in the design and analysis of DISTRIBUTED ALGORITHMS on communi
cation networks and graphs. Aim is to present recent research results, explore
directions for future research, and to identify common fundamental techniques
that serve as building blocks in many distributed algorithms.
Papers are sollicited describing original results in all areas of distributed
algorithms and their applications, including e.g.
- distributed combinatorial algorithms
- distributed optimization algorithms
- distributed algorithms on graphs
- distributed algorithms for control and communication
- routing algorithms
- design of network protocols
- distributed database techniques
- algorithms for transaction management
- fail-safe and fault-tolerant distributed algorithms
and related fields .
Intended contributors are invited to submit 5 copies of a detailed abstract (5-
10 pages) or draft paper to the organizational chairman
Prof Jan van Leeuwen
Department of Computer Science
University of Utrecht
P.O.Box 80.012
3508 TA Utrecht

(email: mcvax!ruuinfvax!jan)
by APRIL 15, 1987. Notification of acceptance follows by MAY 15, 1987. A copy
of each accepted paper is due JUNE 18, 1987. The complete collection of
accepted papers will be available at the Workshop to serve as working
proceedings. Official proceedings will be published afterwards.
ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITTEE

FURTHER INFORMATION
The Workshop will be held at the "Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI)",
a national research facility (formerly known as "the Mathematical Centre")
located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The CWI is easily reached by public
transportation and features a large library, lecture rooms, adjacent parks &
waters, easy parking etc. The weather in Holland tends to be good in early
July, with temperatures in the seventees and eighties (F). The registration
fee for the Workshop will be approximately 50 US dollars. Further details will
be announced with the final program. The Workshop is held just prior to
ICALP'87. (ICALP'87 takes place in Karlsruhe, West Germany, July 13-17, 1987.
Karlsruhe is easily reached from Amsterdam in several ways e.g. by direct
train.) For further information, contact any member of the organizational
committee or Mrs Geraldine Leebeek (Dept of Computer Science, University of
Utrecht, P.O.Box 80.012, 3508 TA Utrecht, the Netherlands, tel. +31-30-
