Second Call for Papers ====== ASIAN'02 ========= 7th Asian Computing Science Conference Hanoi, Vietnam, December 4-6, 2002 Conference themes: Internet Computing and Modeling Grid, peer-to-peer and cluster computing http://www.lirmm.fr/asian02/ http://www.cs.ait.ac.th/ASIAN02/ _____ DEADLINE Extended to July 28, 2002 _____ ===== SCOPE The popular success of the Internet is due in large part to the World Wide Web. The Web was initially designed as a system for the storage and retrieval of distributed data. We are witnessing an evolution of the services supported by the Global Network. More and more, applications run over the net will consist in complex data search and retrieval (electronic commerce...), and high performance computing tasks, for the Laboratory user (physics, biology, ...), the Industrial user (aeronautics, pharmaceutics, ...) as well as for the end user (weather services, stock market, ... ). For the middleware and application developers, Internet is now more and more seen as a programming environment for data mining, data processing, cooperative work etc. This has lead to "Internet Computing", a fast growing scientific area, encompassing distributed computing and networking. Together with the associated concepts of Grids and Peer-to-Peer exchanges, Internet Computing is the source of several scientific and technological challenges. Among those: the efficient and fair sharing of the globalized resources, and the total yet transparent security of exchanges of data. The ASIAN 2002 conference will seek contributions of theoretical computer science to two major themes: Theme 1: Internet Computing and Modeling Design and analysis of network and Internet protocols Cryptographic algorithms and protocols User authentication and data/transaction safety Models and algorithms for the Web structure and Web evolution Contents distribution and management: web servers, caching, multimedia Internet telephony and video / streaming Quality of service and Performance evaluation of the Internet Traffic models & statistics, measurements and characterization Theme 2: Grid, peer-to-peer and cluster computing Software architectures for computing and data resource integration Algorithms (and software) for workload and data distribution Distributed scheduling Load balancing Distributed operating systems Mobile code and Mobile computations Code certification Data distribution/mirroring algorithms, parallel data bases Performance monitoring and optimization Network reliability and failure management User registration and accounting Grid computing environments: frameworks, portals, PSE's, etc. =========== SUBMISSIONS Submissions are to be sent to Alain JEAN-MARIE before July 28, 2002.

The first six conferences have been held, respectively, in Bangkok, Singapore, Katmandu, Manila, Phuket and Penang. In addition to support from the host countries, they have also been sponsored by INRIA, France, UNU/IIST, Macau and NUS, Singapore. The proceedings have been published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag. Past ASIAN conferences have included invited talks from Z. Manna (keynote speaker, 95), Ph. Flajolet, G. Berry, D. Harel (96), J.-C. Bolot, G. Smolka, D. Tygar, M. Rabin (97), N. Ayache, R. Bryant, M.N. Velev, J. Wing (98), S. Hayashi, C. Kirchner, A. Pnueli (99), N. Halbwachs, K. Palem, J. Vuillemin (00), R. Kotagiri, A.
