    NINTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (ICSE '93)
		   UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS
			14-16 July 1993

Session Organizer: Pradip K Srimani, Colorado State University


This series of International Conferences is jointly organized  on
a rotational basis among the three Institutions, University of
Nevada, Las Vegas,  USA the Technical University of Wroclaw,
Poland and Coventry University, UK.  The 9th International
Conference on Systems Engineering takes place at the
Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering,  University of Nevada,
Las Vegas on July 14-16, 1993. The session on Distributed Systems is planned
cover different aspects of  computer networks and distributed systems. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Interconnection Networks
    Distributed and Parallel Algorithms
    Distributed Operating Systems
    Distributed Databases
    Distributed Computing Models
    Self-Stabilizing Systems
    Performance Evaluation
    Applications to Real Life Problems


In addition to theoretical papers, case studies and experience
reports on applications and implementations are also welcome.
Authors are encouraged to send send an 
abstract (6 copies) of their proposed contribution 
(approximately 500 ~ 1000 words) before October 15, 1992.  The abstract 
should be typed (double spaced) and written in English.  
Refereeing of abstracts submitted before the deadline date will 
take place on a regular basis.  This will allow early decisions 
to be taken and should assist authors in their projected 
planning arrangements.
