Following the successful Workshops on Distributed Algorithms
in Ottawa (1985), Amsterdam (1987), Nice (1989), Bari (1990),
Delphi (1991) and Haifa (1992), the Seventh Int. Workshop on 
Distributed Algorithms will be held in Switzerland in 1993.
 
   The workshop covers the entire area of distributed algorithms. 
It provides a forum for the presentation of new research results
and the identification of future research directions in this area.
The workshop will be held in Zinal (Valais), a village located in
the Swiss Alps (alt. 1600 m / 5300 ft) at approximately 180 km
from Geneva Airport (easily reached by train+bus).
 
   Papers are solicited describing original results in all areas
of distributed algorithms and their applications, including, but
not restricted to:
 
  - Distributed algorithms for control and communication
  - Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms
  - Network protocols
  - Algorithms for managing replicated data
  - Protocols for real-time distributed systems
  - Issues in asynchrony, synchrony and real-time
  - Mechanisms for security in distributed systems
  - Techniques for the design and analysis of distributed systems
  - Distributed database techniques
  - Distributed combinatorial and optimization algorithms
  - Distributed graph algorithms
 
   Intended contributors are invited to submit 13 copies of an
extended abstract or full paper to either of the Program Committee
co-chairmen. Submissions must not exceed 15 pages with roughly 35
lines/page. Submissions not conforming with these guidelines may
not be considered. Please include a 150 word abstract, 5 keywords,
and address, e-mail address, fax/telephone number of the contact 
author.
 
   Proceedings will be published in the series Lectures Notes in 
Computer Science of Springer-Verlag. There is a limit of 15 pages 
for a paper in the proceedings.
 
Important dates:
    Submission of papers:        April 13, 1993
    Acceptance notification:     June 4, 1993
    Camera-ready version:        July 10, 1993
