                       4th International Symposium on

            Solving Irregularly Structured Problems in Parallel

                               11-13 June 1997

                      University of Paderborn, Germany

                               Call for Papers

                                    SCOPE

The Symposium on Solving Irregularly Structured Problems in Parallel focuses
on algorithmic and system aspects arising in the development of efficient
parallel solutions to irregularly structured problems. It aims, in
particular, at fostering the cooperation among practitioners and
theoreticians of the field. IRREGULAR'97, to be held at the University of
Paderborn, Germany, on June 11--13, 1997, is the fourth in the series, after
Geneva, Lyon, and S. Barbara.

                                   TOPICS

Papers are solicited in all research areas related to the parallelism of
irregular problems, including, but not limited to:

* algorithms and model
* applications
* approximation and randomization
* automatic program synthesis
* combinatorial optimization
* compiling
* imagery
* load balancing
* memory management
* parallel data structures
* scheduling and mapping
* sparse matrices
* symbolic computation
* tree-structured computations

                                PUBLICATION

Proceedings are to be published in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes
in Computer Science. Extended versions of selected papers shall be invited
for a journal edition. Previous proceedings appeared as LNCS 980 and 1117.

                            SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Contributions may be submitted by either sending 6 hard copies to:

or e-mailing a postscript file to

                     irregular_submit@art.dei.unipd.it

Submissions should consist of: a cover page, with the author's full name,
address, fax number, e-mail address, a 100-word abstract and keywords (for
electronic submission, this page should be in the form of a separate
ascii-only e-mail); an extended abstract describing original research in no
more than 12 pages; an optional appendix, with more details to be
read/consulted at the discretion of the Program Committee.

It is expected that accepted papers will be presented at the conference.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is
not allowed.

                                    VENUE

Paderborn is a beautiful medieval town in the East of Northrine-Westphalia
and a leading German center for Computer Technology, easily accesible by
plane, train and car. The Symposium will be near the new ``Heinz Nixdorf
MuseumsForum,'' hosting a computer museum and a scientific forum.
