The Colloquium is designed to bring together researchers interested in the fundamental principles underlying all computing through communication. The Colloquium will be held at the Hotel Cappuccini Convento in Amalfi, Italy, situated in an ancient convent dominating the coast. Original papers are solicited on the interplay between structure (e.g., network topology), knowledge and complexity in: - distributed computing - parallel computing - mobile computing - optical computing - interconnection networks - wireless networks - high-speed networks - cellular automata Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * sense of direction * routing schemes * topological awareness and metric information * network topologies * structural properties and computability * topology-dependent communication, broadcasting and gossiping * complexity of constructing and maintaining structural information * communication complexity * models of communication The colloquium will be comprised of position papers (outlining open problems, research directions, etc.), tutorials, and research papers. Electronic submissions consisting of a readable postscript file are strongly encouraged and should be sent to sirocco@wisdom.weizmann.ac.il. For paper submissions authors should send 12 copies of an extended abstract of at most 15 pages, clearly indicating the type of submission (position, tutorial, research), to: David Peleg Attn: SIROCCO '98 Department of Applied Mathematics The Weizmann Institute Rehovot 76100 Israel The deadline for submission of papers is March 20. Authors will be notified regarding the acceptance of their papers by electronic mail by April 26. Authors should include their electronic address. Accepted abstracts will be distributed as a collection of colloquium papers available during the conference. The official proceedings will be published by Carleton Scientific and will be mailed to the participants afterwards.
