The 4th International Workshop on Distributed Algorithms (WDAG-4) will be
held September 24-26, 1990, at {\em Serra Alimini Uno} on the coast of the
Adriatic Sea near Otranto and Bari (Italy). The Workshop is intended to
provide a forum for researchers in the area of distributed algorithms and
distributed systems to present and discuss recent research results and to
identify and explore directions for future research.\\

{\bf Program Committee:} D. Dolev (Hebrew Univ, and IBM Almaden), J. van
Leeuwen (Univ of Utrecht, co-chairman), F. Mattern (Kaiserslautern), N.
Santoro (Carleton Univ and Univ of Bari, co-chairman), P. Spirakis (NYU
and CTI Patras), R.B. Tan (Univ of Oklahoma and Univ of Utrecht), S. Toueg
(Cornell Univ), P.M.B. Vitanyi (CWI Amsterdam and Univ of Amsterdam),and
S. Zaks (Technion).
