CALL FOR PAPERS

		 10th International Workshop on
		     DISTRIBUTED ALGORITHMS
			   (WDAG'96) 

			Bologna, Italy
		     October 9-11, 1996
 
1996 marks the 10th edition of the Workshop on Distributed Algorithms.
It also marks a time at which the field of distributed computing is
undergoing a major transition from being the domain of a small
research community to that of industry and the public at large.
Distributed computing is rapidly becoming the principal computing
paradigm for doing business in widely-diverse areas, and their
requirements present new opportunities and challenges for research in
distributed algorithms.

WDAG is a forum covering all aspects of distributed algorithms for
computation and communication.  It is devoted both to the presentation
of new research results and to the identification of future research
directions.  The tenth Workshop on Distributed Algorithms (WDAG) will
be held in Bologna, Italy, home of superb cooking and cycling, and of
the oldest university in Europe.

Papers are solicited describing original results in all areas of
distributed algorithms and their applications, including, but not
limited to:
 
  - Algorithms for control and communication
  - Distributed searching, resource discovery and retrieval
  - Network protocols, applications and services
  - Fault tolerance and high availability
  - Real-time distributed systems
  - Algorithms for dynamic topology management
  - Mobile computing
  - Distributed intelligent agents
  - Issues in synchrony, asynchrony, scalability and real-time
  - Issues in replicated data management, consistency vs. availability
  - Security in distributed systems
  - Self stabilization
  - Wait-free algorithms
  - Techniques and paradigms for the design and analysis of
    distributed systems

Submissions should not exceed 6000 words in length (roughly 15
double-space pages with figures, using at least 11-point font
and reasonable margins) including an abstract and 5 keywords.
Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines will
not be considered, independent of technical merit.

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as part of the
Lectures Notes in Computer Science series.  There will be a strict
15-page limit for papers appearing in the proceedings.

Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their papers electronically.
Detailed description of the electronic submission procedures will be
available in the WDAG'96 web page http://www.cs.unibo.it/wdag96 as of
November 1, 1995.  Authors without web access may send mail to
wdag96-help@cs.unibo.it requesting electronic submission information.
Authors unable to submit electronically are invited to send 15 copies
of their paper (printed double-sided, if possible) and a cover letter
to one of the program co-chairs:

The cover letter should include the postal address, e-mail, fax and
telephone numbers for the contact author.
