U.S. Attendance at the International Dagstuhl Seminar on Self-Stabilization

支持举办一次关于自我稳定的国际研讨会，目的是确定这一领域的最新水平，并为今后的研究确定方向。研讨会将于1998年8月17日至21日在德国瓦德恩举行，重点是自我稳定在容错分布式系统和计算机网络的设计、控制和维护中的实际应用。它汇集了40名研究人员，包括自我稳定领域的领军人物，以及精选的年轻研究人员和学生。它的形式使参与者有可能进行比会议惯例更深入的演讲；它还包括解决问题的会议和小组讨论。

An international seminar on self-stabilization is supported with the goal of establishing the state of the art in this field and setting the course for future research. The seminar, to be held August 17-21, 1998 in Wadern, Germany, focuses on practical applications of self-stabilization in the design, control, and maintenance of fault-tolerant distributed systems and computer networks. It brings together forty researchers including leading figures in the self-stabilization community, as well as selected young researchers and students. Its format makes it possible for participantsto give more in-depth presentations than is customary at conferences; it also includes problem-solving sessions and panel discussions.
