The technical program assembled here is the latest in a series of meetings to foster progress in this burgeoning area of study, as begun at Imperial College in London, 1991; continued at the second meeting hosted by Software Engineering Institute in Pittsburgh, 1994; and again at the third meeting, held in Annapolis in 1996. This fourth meeting broadens the scope of study to include configurable parallel systems, as well as new application domains such as real-time, multimedia, and high performance computing. And new this year ... CDS will GO BEYOND THE CUTTING EDGE! Okay, a little dramatic, but we are scheduling time for short (hard 5 min) presentations of work in progress, outrageous opinions, queries for help on technical problems and anything else members of our community feel ought to be brought to group. We want to continue our tradition of community building in this area, and so are making time available for this purpose late in the day on tuesday. There will be time for discussion and follow up on topics as needed, and supplemental proceedings (compiled from up to four pages of material per speaker in this session) will be prepared and distributed at the conference. If you want to reserve one of these slots, please let us know by sending a note to conference chair Jim Purtilo (purtilo@cs.umd.edu) at the same time you register, otherwise slots will be given out at the conference. The slate of papers to be presented at CDS 98 appears below, and full details of the technical program and registration can be found on the WWW at http://doubletap.cs.umd.edu/CDS This is a first-rate technical line-up, and May is a marvelous time of year to visit Annapolis -- so we look forward to seeing you here!
