This volume contains the proceedings of the Fourth Asian Computing Science Conference (ASIAN98), held December 8{10, 1998, in Manila, the Philippines.

Initiated in 1995 by the Asian Institute of Technology in partnership with INRIAandUNU, the ASIANconferenceseriesaimsatprovidingaforuminAsia fortheexchangeofthemostrecentresearchideasandresultsincomputerscience andinformationtechnology.Whileeachyearfeaturesseveralemphasizedthemes, the 1998 conference focuses on the research areas of (1) formal reasoning and veri cation, (2) programminglanguages, (3) dataand knowledgerepresentation, and (4) networking and Web computing. There were 43 submissions to the conference, out of which 17 were chosen for presentation and inclusion in this proceedings. The papers were submitted fromAustralia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Th- land, the United Kindom, and the United States of America.
