But I hesitate to admit it, because computer scientists want to mantain their image as hard-working individuals who deserve high salaries. Sooner or later society will realise that certain kinds of hard work are in fact admirable even though they are more fun than just about anything else. \begin{quote} \sf\footnotesize (KNUTH D.E., The Stanford Graph Base. A Platform for Combinatorial Computing) \end{quote}} %\normalfont %\normalsize \noindent {\bf Topics of the workshop.} \begin{itemize} \item Fun with combinatorial algorithms \item Fun with randomized algorithms \item Fun with parallel algorithms \item Fun with distributed algorithms \item Fun with geometrical algorithms \item Fun with numerical algorithms \end{itemize} \noindent This conference concerns, to a general extent, the use, design and analysis of algorithms and data structures, particularly seeking results that provide amusing, witty but nonetheless original and scientifically profound contributions to the area. \noindent {\bf Location.} The workshop will take place in a seashore resort of Isola d'Elba, famous for its white sand, deep blue sea and fascinating nature. \noindent {\bf Submissions.} The deadline for receiving submissions is FEBRUARY 28, 1998. Authors should send an extended abstract of 8 to 10 pages. E-mail submissions in postscript are encouraged. Hard copy submissions (9 copies) are also acceptable and should be sent to: {\tt\small Gabriele Lenzini, Dipartimento di Informatica, Corso Italia 40, 56125 PISA, Italy}. All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop and will be published in the proceedings. \noindent {\bf Notifications.} Notification of acceptance will be sent before April 15.\medbreak \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{ll} \multicolumn{2}{c}{{\bf Program Committee}}\\ \hline \\ Giorgio Ausiello & (Univ. of Rome, Italy)\\ Shimon Even & (Technion Univ., Israel)\\ Zvi Galil & (Columbia Univ., USA)\\ Fabrizio Luccio & (Univ. of Pisa, Italy)\\ Jurg Nievergelt & (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)\\ David Peleg & (Weizmann Institute, Israel)\\ Kurt Mehlhorn & (MPI of Saarbr\"ucken, Germany)\\ Franco Preparata & (Brown Univ., USA)\\ Arnold Rosenberg & (Univ. of Massachusetts, USA) \end{tabular} \end{center} \medskip \normalsize {\bf Invited Speakers.} The set of invited speakers coincides with the program committee.\\ \noindent {\bf Organizing Committee.} Gabriele Lenzini (Univ. of Pisa, Italy), Elena Lodi (Univ. of Siena, Italy), Linda Pagli (Univ. of Pisa, Italy), Nicola Santoro (Carleton Univ., Canada). \end{document} -- ****************************************************** Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to DMANET@math.utwente.nl Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.
