Dear Colleague,

this is the 2nd Call For Papers for the 

Third International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS 97)

to be held in Berlin in April 1997.

Please note that the ISADS 97 deadline for submission of papers and
panel proposals is approaching soon:

                   July 15th, 1996.
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We would appreciate if you could forward this announcement to your 
interested colleagues. 
Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.

Please note that expanded versions of best papers will be forwarded 
to a selected journal for publication.

We have prepared a conference World-Wide Web server located at:

http://www.fokus.gmd.de/ws/isads97.

Best regards

Barbara Intelmann and Eckhard Moeller, [email-masked]

                                ISADS 97
    The Third International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems

                           April 9 - 11, 1997
                             Berlin, Germany

Sponsored by:        IEEE Computer Society
                     Information Processing Society of Japan
                     The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan

In Cooperation with: International Federation for Information Processing
                     International Federation of Automatic Control
                     Gesellschaft fuer Informatik

Scope
======
Driven by the increasing power, intelligence, reliability, and openness of
computer, communication and control technologies, a new generation of
distributed systems is emerging, that will be able to support distributed
business and control applications with extreme efficiency, reliability and
security requirements.  Such systems are expected to consist of largely
autonomous, decentralized and geographically dispersed components
interacting via communication networks, and are thus called Autonomous
Decentralized Systems (ADS).

After the successful first and second International Symposium on Autonomous
Decentralized Systems (ISADS) held in 1993 in Japan and in 1995 in the USA,
the third ISADS will be held in Berlin, Germany, on April 9 - 11, 1997.
ISADS 97 will primarily focus on advancements and innovations in ADS
platforms and applications. Integration of telecommunication and computing
aspects into a uniform concept for providing an open distributed processing
environment is a key factor.

ISADS invites papers and panel proposals on the topic of the symposium that
will foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in computer,
(tele)communication, management, control and other related fields from
academia, industry and government. The scope of ADS encompasses but is not
limited to:

- Telecommunication information networking architecture / Intelligent
  networks / Internet;
- Distributed system development and maintainance;
- Distributed control and its supporting platforms;
- Object management architecture / Design patterns / Application frameworks;
- Platform and application interoperability;
- Reference models for ADS;
- Computer-supported cooperative work / Virtual enterprise;
- Legacy system integration;
- Novel applications of ADS: manufacturing systems, realtime environments,
  office automation, traffic and transportation control, electronic commerce,
  etc.
