PREFACE
This PSTV'94 Symposium is the fourteenth of a series of annual meetings organized
under the auspices of IFIP W.G. 6.1, a Working Group dedicated to "Architectures and
Protocols for Computer Networks". This is the oldest and most established symposium
in the emerging field of protocol engineering which has spawn many international
conferences including FORTE (International Conference on Formal Description Tech
niques), IWPTS (International Workshop on Protocol Test Systems), ICNP (Interna
tional Conference on Network Protocols) and CAY (Conference on Computer-Aided
Verification).
The main objective of this PSTV symposium is to provide a forum for researchers
and practitioners in industry and academia interested in advances in using formal
methods and methodologies to specify, develop, test and verify communication protocols
and distributed systems. This year's PSTV symposium enjoys a nice mixture of formal
methods and practical issues in network protocols through the invited addresses of three
outstanding speakers, Ed Brinksma (University of Twente), Raj Jain (Ohio State
University) and David Tennenhouse (MIT) as well as 5 tutorials, in addition to 9 techni
cal sessions and two practical panel sessions. The 5 tutorials are offered on the first day
in two parallel tracks for intensive exposure on hot topics of current interest.
This year, out of 51 submissions the Program Committee selected 18 regular papers
(with an allotment of 16 pages in the Proceedings) and 9 mini-papers (of 8 pages).
Despite the relatively low number of submissions, the accepted papers are of very high
quality which will do justice to the prestige PSTV has traditionally enjoyed.
A conference like this demanded time and enthusiasm of many people. We first
thank the Program Committee members both for the heavy reviewing effort and for
helping in publicizing the Symposium. In particular, we wish to thank Luigi Logrippo,
Linda Ness and Teruo Highashino for having traveled a long distance to the PC meeting
(on the Good Friday) and effectively help us in the selection process. The Symposium is
fortunate to have a number of leading experts to give invited addresses and tutorials.
This year, we have branched into some practical and hot areas of a wider scope than was
customary for PSTV. We hope you will enyoy them. We extend our sincere thanks to all
of the referees for having taken much of their valuable time to do an excellent and
thorough job in reviewing papers on short notice. And, of course, the Symposium would
not have been possible without authors submitting and presenting papers. Our Local
Arrangement Committee took up much of the burden of the non-technical aspects of the
Symposium, and we thank each of the members, specially Mabo Ito, Jane Hutton, Binh
Do, Vicki Ayerbe, and Shi Hao for their invaluable help. Finally, we wish to thank
several organizations, specially DOC, BNR, ASI, CICSR, MPR Teltech, UBC and
HKUST for their generous support. We are grateful to the people mentioned above and
to everyone else involved in making PSTV'94 a success.
