Depuis 1986, une convention tripartite a ete etablie entre l'Universite de Yaounde, l'INRIA et l'Universite des Nations Unies pour la promotion de la recherche et de l'enseignement de troisieme cycle en informatique. Un elargissement de ce cadre a abouti a l'organisation de CARI'92, premiere edition du colloque, qui a reuni, grace en particulier au soutien financier du Ministere francais de la Cooperation, des representants de plus de vingt- cinq pays africains ou de pays du Nord. Parallelement a la presentation de 120 travaux de recherche, un comite scientifique a ete mandate pour: - inventorier les moyens existants et definir les besoins en recherche et enseignement, - faciliter l'emergence de projets cooperatifs entre universites africaines, - susciter et coordonner l'organisation de manifestations scientifiques. La rencontre a ete l'occasion pour l'ORSTOM de s'associer au projet pour y apporter son experience dans les pays tropicaux. Bien que les themes du colloque embrassent l'ensemble de l'informatique, le comite scientifique souhaite encourager specialement les travaux susceptibles de contribuer au developpement technologique, a la connaissance de l'environnement et a la gestion des ressources naturelles. Des communications invitees seront presentees par des specialistes de renommee internationale. Des demonstrations de logiciels se derouleront pendant la duree de la conference. Des tables rondes sur le theme de l'informatique seront organisees en parallele. Il est enfin prevu de faire preceder le colloque par deux journees de tutoriels. SECRETARIAT SCIENTIFIQUE L.

Since 1986 there exists an agreement between the University of Yaounde, INRIA and the United Nation University aimed to promote research and advanced training in computer science and technology. The extension of this framework had led to the organization of CARI'92, the first conference which brought together, thanks particularly to the financial support of the French Ministry of Cooperation, representatives from twenty five countries of Africa and the North. In parallel to the presentation of 120 research papers, a scientific committee has been established with the mandate to : - review the existing infrastructure and define the needs for research and advanced training - facilitate the emergence of cooperative projects between the African Universities - initiate and coordinate the organization of scientific manifestations. The conference had been the occasion for ORSTOM to associate with the project in order to bring in its experience of work in tropical countries. Although the topics of the conference cover the whole range of computer science and technology, the scientific committee would like to encourage particularly those papers contributing to technological development, to better awareness of the environment and to the management of natural resources. Invited papers will be presented by world-known scientists. Software demonstrations will be organized during the conference. Panels on selected topics will be scheduled in parallel. Finally, it is foreseen that the conference will be preceded by two days of tutorials. TOPICS Software engineering, parallel computing, scientific computa- tion, architecture, databases, networks, computer vision, arti- ficial intelligence, programming language, operating systems. INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS Authors are invited to submit, in French or in English, contributions on their most recent research results. Researchers from Africa are especially encouraged to submit a paper.
