 -BENCHMARKING	                 -NEW PARADIGMS
 -COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS	 -OBJECT ORIENTATION
 -COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING	 -SIGNAL AND IMAGE PROCESSING
 -DATABASES	                 -SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURES
 -EMBEDDED SYSTEMS               -SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
 -FAULT TOLERANCE	         -TOOLS AND ENVIRONMENTS
 -FORMAL METHODS	         -VALIDATION AND SIMULATION
 -INSTRUMENTATION	         -VISUALIZATION
 -LANGUAGES (REAL-TIME)


To submit a research paper, send to the appropriate Program Chair four
hard copies of your complete manuscript (not to exceed 10
pages). Manuscripts must be received by December 1, 1996.
Notification of review decisions will be mailed by Dec. 20, 1996.
