Sixteen Papers have been accepted. (09/15/03)
The phenomenal success
of the Internet at the application level may perhaps primarily be attributed
to a few simple but powerful ideas: a client-server computing model, stateless
(or partially stateful) protocols (such as SMTP, HTTP, Instant Messaging
and Presence Protocols), the separation of transport from content, etc.
Fundamental limitations of these ideas are already being addressed by the
development of middleware platforms for distributed applications (e.g., J2EE,
Groove, Jini, .Net). In the future, experience with large-scale distributed
applications may result in well-understood computational models that are
enshrined in programming languages with support for uniform naming, reflexive
operation, fault tolerance, distribution, locality, partially disconnected
operation, persistence, mobility, autonomic operation, spatial aggregation,
continuous streaming, etc.
Scope
The theme of this conference
is Programming Languages and Distributed Computation.
Papers are invited on all aspects of theory, practice and applications related
to this theme. Papers targeting lessons learnt from the development of large-scale
application frameworks (e.g., Internet applications, distributed sensor networks)
that may serve as the basis for the development of programming languages
are particularly welcome.

Background
The series of annual
Asian Computing Science Conferences (ASIAN) was initiated in 1995 by
AIT, INRIA and UNU/IIST to provide a forum for researchers in computer
science from the Asian region and to promote interaction with researchers
from other regions. The first seven conferences were held, respectively,
in Bangkok, Singapore, Kathmandu, Manila, Phuket, Penang, and Hanoi.
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 by Springer-Verlag.
