The goal of the fifth  annual conference  of the  Advanced Computing
Society is to provide a stimulating forum to industry professionals,
researchers, and government policy planners to share ideas, report
findings, discuss products and define future directions.

Over the past four years this conference has become one of the premium
forums for the growing technical community in India. Last year more than
half of the  200 attendees  were from industry  with  significant
participation from academic communities in India and overseas. We commit
to build on this success and increase its influence on the technical
communities.

The conference will have sessions with contributed papers, invited talks,
practical experience reports, tutorials, panels, and vendor exhibitions.

* Advanced Computer Architecture
* Dependable, Fault-tolerant, Secure, and Real-time systems
* Parallel and Distributed Computing, Distributed Databases
* VLSI Systems

* Communication Networks for Advanced Computing: ATM, Gigabit, Wireless
* Internet Computing, Communication Issues in Mobile Computing

* Software Engineering: Applications, Tools, Testing, Formal methods
* Advance Programming Environments and Tools
* Scientific and Engineering Applications
* Applications of Advanced Computing in Graphics, Vision, Image Processing
