The Australasian Computer Science Week has emerged as a regular 
event on the academic calendar. It is held under the auspices of
the Computer Science Association and this year it encompasses 
three main conferences

5-7 February: The 20th Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC'97)
3-4 February: Computing: The Australasian Theory Symposium (CATS'97)
3-4 February: The Australasian Computer Architecture Conference (ACAC'97)

and also a variety of allied events. All conferences will be hosted by 
the Department of Computing at Macquarie University.

We invite submissions for the three conferences, as set out below. All 
conferences share a common set of important dates:

Submission Deadline: 15 August 1996
Notification: 1 November 1996
Camera-ready copy: 24 November 1996

Full submission details and further information about the week can be 
obtained at http://www.mq.edu.au/acsw97 or acsw97@mpce.mq.edu.au.


ACSC'97 - Twentieth Australasian Computer Science Conference

5-7 February 1997

ACSC'97 is the major Australasian computer science conference and 
is now in its twentieth year. The conference has a high reputation 
for the quality of the research presented, ranging
from theory and experiment to practice and application. Submissions 
are now invited for ACSC'97. 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 contri-
bution 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. Submitted papers 
should be no longer than 6,000 words. To be considered, four 
printed copies must reach the address below by the submission date,
 which is a hard deadline.

CATS'97 - Computing: The Australasian Theory Symposium

3-4 February 1997

CATS aims at bringing together computing theorists from the 
Australasian region. Papers are solicited on all aspects of the 
theory of computer science, including, but not limited
to: Category Theory, Complexity, Concurrency, Formal Semantics, 
Logic, Specification and Verification, and all aspects of the theory 
of Algorithms (including combinatorial algorithms, distributed 
algorithms, geometric algorithms, and parallel algorithms).

CATS'97 follows on from CATS'94 which was held in Sydney in December 
1994, and CATS'96 which was held in Melbourne in February 1996. It is 
hoped that the meeting will have an `active workshop' atmosphere, 
with ample time for discussions. Contributions describing work
in progress are welcome. 

Submissions should be sent in Postscript format to 
cats97@cs.rmit.edu.au by the submission deadline. For final 
submissions, LaTEX style files and MS Word style sheets will be 
provided via the URL http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/cats97. Authors unable 
to access or use these style files will be asked to prepare papers of 
at most ten pages in 10-point, two-column format.

Papers will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and 
clarity. The contribution of the paper should be clearly explained in 
both general and technical terms, and authors should make every effort 
to ensure that the technical content of their papers 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.

ACAC'97 - Australasian Computer Architecture Conference

3-4 February 1997

ACAC is the principal annual Australasian conference on computer 
architecture. ACAC'97 follows on from previous computer architecture 
workshops held in Hobart, Brisbane and Adelaide, and its highly 
successful emergence as a fully refereed 2-day research conference in
Melbourne in 1996.

ACAC'97 will contain sessions for research group reports as well as 
for formal research papers. This forum will allow those involved in 
the field to see what new research is happening in the region and to 
encourage cooperative research and sharing of resources. ACAC'97 
invites the following two categories of papers:

Original research papers: Original papers in all areas of computer 
architecture research are invited. Papers describing implemented 
systems and novel applications are particularly welcomed. All papers 
will be refereed and accepted papers will be published in the 
conference proceedings. LaTEX style files will be made available on 
acceptance.

Australasian research group reports: Reports on Australasian computer 
architecture research projects are also invited. They should be in the 
same format and will be included in a section of the proceedings but 
will not go through the full rigorous reviewing process.

Papers should be submitted in uuencoded Postscript form to 
acac97@ee.newcastle.edu.au. If electronic submission is not possible, 
four paper copies should be sent to:
