INVITED SESSIONS
To organize an invited session for SCI'2000, the following steps are
suggested:
1) Identify a special topic is in the scope of SCI'2000. You may contact
the General Chair, the program chair or other program committee members, on
the suitability of the topic, if it is not included in the Conference
Program.
2) Contact the General Chair for the invited session acceptation.
3) Contact researchers or practitioners in your field to see if they can
contribute a paper to your proposed session and attend SCI'2000.
4) Collect the extended abstracts or the paper drafts from each prospective
invitee.
5) Write a summary (1-2 page) on the session's significance and coherence
of the invited/selected papers.
Mail the invited session proposal including a summary and a copy of all
abstracts before, February 29,2000 to Professor Nagib Callaos, the General
Chair.

The 4th World Multiconference on
SYSTEMICS, CYBERNETICS AND INFORMATICS
SCI'2000
Invited Session
Expression of Parallel and Distributed Computation
July 23-26, 2000
Orlando, Florida (USA)
Sheraton World
Honorary Presidents: Bela Banathy, Stafford Beer and George Klir
Program Committee Chair: William Lesso
General Chair: Nagib Callaos
Organizing Committee Chair: Belkis Sanchez
Invited Session Chair: Guillermo J. Hoyos-Rivera
THEME OF THE INVITED SESSION
The main goal of organisation of this Invited Session is to explore and
analyse the new paradigms that give the programmer the ability to express,
in an easier way, the Parallel and Distributed Computation.
Traditionally the expression of Parallel and Distributed Computation is a
difficult task. Programming languages for this kind of computation are not
easy tu programme and use.
Due to this reason it is important to create and develop programming
languages and programming paradigms that make easier the task of
programming Parallel and Distributed applications.
In this invited session we want to explore the different proposals recently
developed that offer to the programmer an easier way to do his work,
including, possibly, fault detection and correction algorithms, new
programming languages, facilities for code migration, even at execution
time, etc.
PARTICIPANTS
Participation of both researchers and practitioners is strongly encouraged.
Papers may be submitted on: research in science and engineering, case
studies drawn on professional practice and consulting, and position papers
based on large and rich experience gained through executive/managerial
practices and decision-making. For this reason, the Program Committee is
conformed according to the criteria given above.
