Original research contributions are sought that address fundamental issues in
the theory and practice of distributed and concurrent systems. Specially sought
are papers that illuminate connections between practice and theory.  Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
Distributed algorithms and complexity\\
Network protocols and architectures\\
Multiprocessor algorithms and architectures\\
Distributed operating systems principles\\
Concurrency control and synchronization\\
Issues of asynchrony, synchrony, and real time\\
Fault tolerance\\
Cryptography and security\\
Specification, semantics, and verification\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
Please send 12 copies of a detailed abstract (not the complete paper) with the
postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number of the contact author,
to the program chair:

The abstract must provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to
assess the merits of the paper.
It should include appropriate references and comparisons to related work.
It is recommended that each submission begin
with a succinct statement of the problem, a summary of the main results, and a
brief explanation of their significance and relevance to the conference, all
suitable for a non-specialist.
Technical development of the work, directed to
the specialist, should follow.
Submitted abstracts should be no longer than 4,500 words (roughly 10 pages).
If the authors believe that more details are essential
to substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked
appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee.
It is understood that the research reported in the abstract is original,
and is submitted exclusively to this conference.

To be considered by the committee, abstracts must conform to the guidelines
and be {\bf received by 5 February 1993}.
This is a firm deadline.
Acceptance notification will be sent by April 16, 1993.
Camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be due May 14, 1993.
