CALL FOR PAPERS 21st Australasian Computer Science Conference ACSC'98 University of Western Australia Perth, Western Australia 4-6 February, 1998 The Australasian Computer Science Conference series is an annual forum for exploring research, development and novel applications of computer science. It will be hosted by the University of Western Australia as part of the Australasian Computer Science Week which also includes: . the Australasian Database Conference (ADC'98) . the Australasian Computer Architecture Conference (ACAC'98) and . Computing: The Australasian Theory Symposium (CATS'98) These conferences will be held at the University of Western Australia in Perth in 1998 from Monday 2nd to Friday 6th February. We welcome papers describing original contributions in all fields of Computer Science research and education. Each paper will be judged on its originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. Its contribution should be clearly explained in both general and technical terms, and authors should make every effort to ensure that its technical content is understandable by a broad audience. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present the work. In line with the tradition in previous years, the proceedings of the conference will be published as Australian Computer Science Communications, Vol. 21, No. 1. Negotiations are under way to have the proceedings of all conferences in ACSW published by Springer-Verlag. For this reason, formatting instructions will be issued later. ========================== PROGRAMME COMMITTEE CHAIR Jenny Edwards, University of Technology, Sydney Email: jenny@socs.uts.edu.au ADDRESS FOR ALL PAPER SUBMISSION CORRESPONDENCE Jenny Edwards ACSC'98 School of Computing Sciences University of Technology, Sydney PO Box 123 Broadway, NSW 2007 Australia Telephone: +61 2 9514 1844 Facsimile: +61 2 9514 1807 Email: acsc98@socs.uts.edu.au PROGRAMME COMMITTEE David Abramson, Monash Paul Bailes, Queensland Richard Brent, ANU Bob Doran, Auckland Geoff Dromey, Griffith Peter Eades, Newcastle Jenny Edwards, UTS Rhys Francis, CSIRO Andrzej Goscinski, Deakin John Gough, QUT Stephen Hood, DSTO Ray Jarvis, Monash Chris Johnson, ANU Jyrki Katajainen, Copenhagen Rao Kotagiri, Melbourne Peter Lindsay, Queensland Tok Wang Ling, NUS Kim Marriott, Monash Chris McDonald, UWA Alistair Moffat, Melbourne Ron Morrison, St Andrews John O'Callaghan, CSIRO Mehmet Orgun, Macquarie Michael Oudshoorn, Adelaide David Powers, Flinders Anand Rao, AAII John Roddick, South Australia John Rosenberg, Sydney/Monash Ron Sacks-Davis, Melbourne Arun Sharma, UNSW Justin Zobel, RMIT ========================== SUBMISSIONS TO ACSC'98 Authors should submit either: . four (4) copies of a paper version to the address above or . one (1) copy of a POSTSCRIPT file which must be able to be printed from a UNIX machine to acsc98@socs.uts.edu.au In both cases, confirmation of receipt will be given, in the case of a postscript submission, once the file has been successfully printed.
