Workshop on Advances in Parallel and Distributed Systems (APADS)

WORKSHOP ON
ADVANCES IN PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
October 20, 1998, West Lafayette, Indiana
The 1-day workshop is one of three workshops held at Purdue University on Tuesday, October 20, in conjunction with the 17-th IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems. APADS focuses on parallel and distributed computing and systems viewed from the three perspectives of software systems, architecture and networking, and algorithms and applications. APADS will bring together leading researchers and developers in these areas and will strive toward setting future research directions. The meeting is intended to promote discussion of new research directions which emphasize both design and analysis of parallel and distributed systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. The other two workshops are on Security in Large Scale Distributed Systems and Multimedia Networking.
