TARGETS

This conference will address recent issues in the implementation and evaluation
of decentralized computer systems. It will be mainly focused on architectures and
programming systems with no central point of control or communication.

LIST OF TOPICS :

. Communication networks	. Formal methods for design and verification
. Non shared memory processors	. Fault tolerance
. Distributed operating systems	. Performance evaluation of parallel systems
. Distribution and communication concepts	. Hardware and software tradeoffs
. Dedicated programming languages		. Fully scalable systems
. Distributed data bases and expert systems	. Applications

PUBLICATION

Copies of the papers will be available at the conference. Camera ready copies (12
pages) are due at the conference. The proceedings will be published by North
Holland after the conference, in the series of the WG 10.3 Conferences :
Highly parallel computers, Nice, France, 1986
Distributed processing, Amsterdam, The Nertherlands, 1987
Parallel processing, Pisa, Italy, 1988.
