The Colloquium is designed to bring together researchers interested in the fundamental principles underlying all computing through communication. It will be held at the Centro Stefano Franscini on Monte Verita' in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland; Ascona is a lakeside resort in an alpine setting. Original papers are solicited on the interplay between structure (e.g., topology), knowledge and complexity in: - distributed computing - parallel computing - mobile computing - optical computing - interconnection networks - wireless networks - high-speed networks 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 comprise 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@scs.carleton.ca. (More information on electronic submission is available at the colloquium's web site: http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~sirocco.) 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: SIROCCO '97 Carleton University School of Computer Science Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6 Canada The deadline for submission of papers is April 25. Authors will be notified regarding the acceptance of their papers by electronic mail by May 31. 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.
