Announcement and Call for Papers

International Conference on the Performance of
Distributed Systems and Integrated Communication Networks

September 10-12, 1991, Kyoto, Japan

Sponsors:
IFIP WG7.3   IBM Japan   Kyoto University
University of Paris VI   TIMS Japan Chapter

Organizers:
T.Hasegawa(Kyoto Univ., Japan), H.Takagi(IBM, Japan)

Program Chairman:
Y.Takahashi(Kyoto Univ., Japan)

North American Representative:
H.Kobayashi(Princeton Univ., USA)
