PDSE'99

4th International Symposium on Software Engineering for Parallel and Distributed Systems
Los Angeles, CA, USA, 17/05/1999–18/05/1999

The PDSE99 symposium, now in its fourth successive year, is a continuation of the inaugural
PDSE'96 workshop held in conjunction with ICSE-18 in Berlin. This was followed by ICSE events in Boston, 1997 and in Kyoto, 1998. The PDSE symposiums attract up to 50 delegates from a wide range of backgrounds from both industry and academia from around the world. The papers are always published internationally, more recently as IEEE proceedings, and are refereed by a minimum of three independent experts in the field. The talks include keynote speakers with an emphasis on first hand experience of industrial applications and large-scale projects.
