relationships, engineering design aids, operating systems, application of 
recent advances in underlying technology.

  o Artificial Intelligence - expert and knowledge based systems, interactive 
reasoning and inference.

  o Distributed Systems - networks, design and analysis, consistency and 
integrity, heterogeneous systems.

  o Standards - proposals, analysis, requirements, future directions.
