	IEEE Workshop on Imprecise and Approximate Computation
 
			December 1, 1992
			Phoenix, Arizona

		      Texas A&M University



Imprecise computation appears to be a promising approach to providing 
scheduling flexibility and enhancing dependability in dynamic real-time 
systems. Over the years, several systems have made use of approximate 
computations in time-constrained situations. Recent work in this area has 
resulted in a formalization of the approach and focused on providing system
support for using imprecise computation. The potential applications of these 
ideas include both traditional and next-generation applications, such as 
intelligent control systems, machine vision, real-time databases, and highly
dependable real-time systems.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and 
practitioners and provide a forum for discussing a wide range of related 
topics, including applications of imprecise and approximate computations,
reasoning about approximate results, approximate computation algorithms and
methods, as well as programming and system support, communication protocols,
and software development tools.

The workshop is held at the same location and one day before IEEE Real-Time
System Symposium, Dec 2 - Dec 5, 1992.

Prospective participants should send 6 copies of a position paper
(no more than 5 pages) by August 15, 1992 to Wei Zhao, Department of 
Computer Science, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3112.
(409) 845-5098 (voice), (409) 847-8578 (fax); zhao@cs.tamu.edu. 

Complete details regarding the workshop will be sent to all participants
along with acceptance letters by October 16, 1992. Camera ready copies of
the papers will be due on November 6, 1992. All accepted papers will be 
published in workshop proceedings.
