  Research contributions to the theory, design, specification or 
implementation of distributed systems are solicited.  Topics of 
interest include, but are not limited to: Distributed algorithms and 
complexity; Network protocols and architectures; Multiprocessor 
algorithms and architectures; distributed operating systems; 
concurrency control and synchronization; fault tolerance specification,
semantics and verification and cryptography and security.
  The conference will consist of two tracks of presentations.  
  *Long presentations* will be given slots of approximately 25 minutes
and will be accompanied by papers of up to 10 pages in the proceedings.
  *Brief announcements* will be given slots of approximately 10 minutes
and will be accompanied by 1-page abstracts in the proceedings. This
track is intended as a forum for reporting research at an early stage,
unpolished recent results, and brief communications.
  *Submissions*: For the long presentation track, please submit an
extended abstract that provides sufficient detail to allow the program
committee to assess the merits of the paper.  It is recommended that 
each submission begin with a succinct statement of the problem, a 
summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their 
significance, all suitable for a non-specialist. Submitted abstracts
should be no longer than 4,500 words. Submissions for the brief 
announcement track should be a one-page abstract, including a statement
of the problem, the results and their implications. Detailed submission
information is given in the _full version_ of this announcement and 
prospective authors should read these carefully.
  *Dates* subm: Feb 10, 1995; notif: Apr 14, 1995; final: May 20, 1995.
