1999 Federated Computing Research Conference:

Atlanta, Georgia
April 30 - May 6, 1999

The third Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC) was held in Atlanta at the downtown Hilton, April 30 - May 6, 1999. FCRC is a collocation of meetings and conference of research-oriented organizations.

CRA was a co-sponsor, along with ACM (the primary organizer), IEEE, and other organizations. The conference chair was CRA Board and ACM Council member David S. Johnson of AT&T Labs - Research. Past chair Mary Jane Irwin, CRA Board member from Pennsylvania State University, was on the steering committee, along with David Wise of Indiana University, and Donna Baglio of ACM.
