AUSTRIAN-HUNGARIAN WORKSHOP ON
DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL SYSTEMS
DAPSYS'98
(EDUCATION, PROGRAMMING TOOLS)
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, SEPTEMBER 28-30, 1998

OBJECTIVES
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. 

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 welcome. Typical,
but not exclusive, topics include: 

  distributed operating systems
  parallel architectures
  parallel/distributed languages
  computational models
  parallel/distributed algorithms
  parallelization
  multithreaded programming
  parallel/distributed databases
  testing and debugging
  performance analysis
  parallel/distributed I/O
  load balancing
  Web computing
  Java

DEADLINES
  Submission of complete papers June 21, 1998
  Notification of authors July 15, 1998
  Camera-ready papers September 7, 1998

PROCEEDINGS
We are currently negotiating with Springer for a publications of the
proceedings in the LNCS series. A selection of best papers will
nominated for a follow-up publication in a special issue of the FGCS
Journal. Selected papers of the previous workshop, DAPSYS'96, have
been published in a special issue (February 1997) of Parallel Computing.
