5th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON
DISTRIBUTED ALGORITHMS (WDAG-5)
Delphi, Greece
October 7 to 9, 1991
Following the successful Workshops on Distributed Algorithms
in Ottawa (1985), Amsterdam (1987), Nice (1989), and Bari (1990)
the Fifth Workshop on Distributed Algorithms will be
held in Delphi, Greece (where the oracle comes from).
The workshop covers the area of distributed algorithms.
It provides a forum for the presentation of new research results
and the identification of future research directions in this area.
The formal sessions will be held in the Delphi Conference Center,
a modern, well-equipped facility.
Papers are solicited describing original results in all areas
of distributed algorithms and their applications, including,
but not restricted to:
- distributed combinatorial algorithms
- distributed graph algorithms
- distributed optimization algorithms
- distributed data structures
- fault-tolerant distributed algorithms
- protocols for real-time distributed systems
- mechanisms for safety and security in distributed systems
- distributed database techniques
- replica control protocols
- distributed algorithms for control and communication
- design of network protocols
- communication complexity
- distributed algorithms for machine learning
- techniques for the design and analysis of distributed algorithms
Intended contributors are invited to submit 15 copies of a full
paper to the Program Committee secretary, at the following address:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This year, WDAG will be followed by an ALCOM Day on Distributed
Computing. ALCOM stands for the project ALGORITHMS and COMPLEXITY of
the ESPRIT BASIC RESEARCH ACTIONS (No. 3072) of the EC. The ALCOM Day
will take place on October 10, 1991, in the same place (Delphi),
and will consist of a series of lectures by invited speakers.
WDAG participants are welcome to attend and participate in the discussions.
