CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
13th International Symposium on DIStributed Computing (DISC '99)
September 27-29, 1999
Bratislava, Slovak Republic
http://www.disc99.sk/
************************************************************************
Scope of the conference:
DISC was formerly known as WDAG. The name change, which took effect in
1998, reflects the expansion from a workshop to a symposium and from
distributed algorithms to all aspects of distributed computing. The first
DISC was held in Andros, Greece in September 1998.
The broad scope of the symposium provides an opportunity to bring
together specialists in theory, design, analysis, implementation, or
application of distributed systems and networks. Principal topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
* distributed algorithms and their complexity
* fault-tolerance of distributed systems
* consistency conditions, concurrency control, and synchronization
* multiprocessor/cluster architectures and algorithms
* cryptographic and security protocols for distributed systems
* distributed operating systems
* distributed computing issues on the internet and the web
* distributed systems management
* distributed applications, such as databases, mobile agents,
and electronic commerce
* communication network architectures and protocols
* specification, semantics, and verification of distributed systems

Location:
Bratislava (population 450 000) is the capital of Slovak Republic,
located close to the Austrian, Hungarian and Czech borders on both banks
of the river Danube. Bratislava is a very old town with more than 2000
years history. Full town privileges were granted to Bratislava in 1291.
The historic centre is dominated by the Bratislava Castle. Today
Bratislava is a political, economic and cultural centre of Slovakia.
Bratislava is the seat of Comenius University, Slovak Technical
University and Economy University. More information about the history and
sightseeing in Bratislava can be found on the DISC'99 homepage
http://www.disc99.sk/.
The conference will be held in Druzba - congress centre of the Comenius
University (Botanicka 25, 842 15 Bratislava, Slovakia), which is located
about 3km west of the town centre. By regular tram connections it is
possible to reach the town centre in about 10 minutes. As the capacity of
the University subsidized guest rooms is limited, the booking will be
performed on the first-come-first-served basis.
