			CALL FOR PAPERS

		ELEVENTH ANNUAL IEEE PHOENIX CONFERENCE
 		   ON COMPUTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS

			 (IPCCC - 92)


April 1-3, 1992
Scottsdale, Arizona

This   international   conference  provides  a  forum   for   the 
presentation  and  exchange  of  current work  in  the  field  of 
synergism of computers and communications, and their applications 
areas.  We are particularly soliciting industrial, business,  and 
government participation as well as the active involvement of the 
academic community.  We know it is vital that there be a dialogue 
between  practitioners  and researchers.  Thus,  in  addition  to 
research  contributions,  we look forward  to  reports  detailing 
experiments, evaluations, problems, and opportunities  associated 
with design, implementation, and operation.  Such reports will be 
given special consideration.

Submitted manuscript must be no longer than 5,000 words, be typed 
double-spaced,  and  include  an abstract  of  approximately  300 
words.  Long papers and reports will not be considered.   Authors 
should   obtain  company  and  government  clearances  prior   to 
submission of the papers.

Please  submit five copies of complete paper and abstract  by  15 
July 1991 to:

               Dr. Ming T. (Mike) Liu, Program Chair
