   The International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms,
and Networks (I-SPAN) is a forum for scientists, engineers, and
practitioners throughout the world to exchange ideas and research
results related to the design, use, analysis, and application of
parallel architectures, algorithms, networks, and internet technology.
The first three symposia were held in Kanazawa, Japan, on December
14-16, 1994, in Beijing, China, on June 12-14, 1996, and in Taipei,
Taiwan on December 18-20, 1997.

Please submit your complete paper to the Program Committee Vice-Chair
whose track is most relevant to your paper's subject.  The paper
should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages of text using 12 point size
type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages.  Electronic submissions are encouraged
and should be sent to the email address of the Vice Chair.

<p>
Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable postscript
file containing the following header information in ASCII form: title,
author name(s), abstract, postal address, e-mail address, and
telephone and fax numbers. The header (in ASCII) should be followed by
the postscript version of the complete manuscript (including title,
author's name, affiliation, and abstract).

<p>
Authors should submit a correct PostScript (level 2) file of their
paper to be considered and make sure that the PostScript file will
print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5 x 11 inch size (letter
size) paper.  Hard copy submissions are also permitted.  Send four
copies of the manuscrip\ t to the appropriate PC Vice-Chair.

<p>
The results presented in the paper must be unpublished and not
submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of
other conferences or workshops. One author of each accepted paper will
be expected to present the paper at the conference. Proceedings will
be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
