                          CALL FOR PAPERS

                    AUSTRIAN-HUNGARIAN WORKSHOP ON
                   DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL SYSTEMS
                              DAPSYS'98
                    (Education, Programming Tools)

              BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, September 28-30, 1998


This  is  the fourth time that  the  Austrian Computer  Society and the
Hungarian Transputer  User  Group jointly   organise a workshop. This
successful series of workshops started with the Austrian-Hungarian 
Workshops on Transputer  Applications held in Sopron (1992) and in
Budapest (1994). Based on these traditions but widening the scope of the
workshop we decided  to  organise the next workshop  under  a new name
reflecting the wider  scope and with a subtitle  that will change from
workshop to workshop and will focus to some special topics. DAPSYS'96
held in Miskolc had the subtitle: Environments and Tools. The current
workshop will focus on the educational aspects of parallel and
distributed processing as well as the programming tools provided for
parallel and distributed programming. Some special sessions will be   
organised in these focused areas: Tempus sessions and a Winpar ESPRIT
session. ERCIM is a network of prestigious research institutes of Europe
working also in the field of distributed and parallel processing. In
order to introduce the work of these institutes we organise an ERCIM 
session as well.

Selected papers of DAPSYS'96 have been published in a special issue 
(1997 February) of  Parallel Computing. Best papers of DAPSYS'98 are 
also expected to be published in a prestigious journal of the corresponding 
research field.
                   
SCOPE:
DAPSYS'98 is expected to be  a major event for researchers and
teachers to  consider  present and future  topics in distributed 
and parallel    systems.   Papers presenting educational methods,
original research, new concepts   and    results  of   international
projects   are   being sought. Papers describing teaching experiments
and programming tools for distributed  and parallel systems are 
especially welcomed. Typical, but not exclusive, topics include:

* distributed operating systems         * parallel architectures
* parallel/distributed languages        * computational models
* parallel/distributed algorithms       * parallelization
* parallel/distributed databases        * testing and debugging
* performance analysis                  * visualisation
* parallel/distributed I/O              * load balancing

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Contributors are   invited to submit a   full  paper not  exceeding 10
double-spaced pages  in English to the program committee chair at:

 	Dr. Gabriele Kotsis
	Univ. of Vienna
	Email: dapsys98@ani.univie.ac.at

The title page  should contain a  100-word abstract and  five specific
keywords. DAPSYS accepts submission only by electronic mail. Submitted
