Some of these solutions can be automatically obtained from sequential programs using compilers. However, there still exist a large class of problems, known as irregularly structured problems, that lack efficient solutions. The workshop on Parallel Algorithms for Irregularly Structured Problems - IRREGULAR 96 - is the third in the series, after Geneva and Lyon, that addresses issues related to deriving efficient solutions to irregularly structured problems. It will be held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on August 19--21, 1996. Scope : IRREGULAR 96 aims at fostering the cooperation among practitioners and theoreticians of the field. Papers for oral presentation are solicited in all research areas related to the parallelism of irregular problems, as listed below. Topics : (non exhaustive) applications, approximating and randomized methods, automatic synthesis, branch and bound, combinatorial optimization, compiling, computer vision, load balancing, parallel data structures, scheduling and mapping, sparse matrix and symbolic computation. Publication : Proceedings are planned to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and shall be available at the workshop. The Proccedings of IRREGULAR'95 have been published as volume 980 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlarg. Submission guidelines : To submit a contribution, send 6 copies of an extended abstract describing original research in no more than 15 pages to Yousef Saad, IRREGULAR'96 chair Computer Science Dept. University of Minnesota 4-192 EE/CSci Building 200 Union Street S.E. Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA Papers simultaneously submitted to other conferences with published proceedings will not be considered. Hard copy contributions must be in Minneapolis and e-mail (post-script file) contributions must be at irregular_submit@cs.ucsb.edu no later than March 15, 1996. A cover page should contain the author's full name, address, a 100-word abstract and keywords. If the paper is submitted electronically, the cover page in the form of an ascii-only e-mail must contain the same information. Venue : Santa Barbara is situated on the Pacific coast, ninety miles north of Los Angeles and a one-day trip from the wine country and horse ranches of neighboring Santa Ynez Valley. Santa Barbara's Spanish heritage is reflected in its architectural style, fiesta celebrations and historical landmarks, and its mild climate promotes an environment rich in outdoor activities. ********************************************** Workshop Chairs Afonso Ferreira, ENS Lyon Jose Rolim, U. of Geneva ********************************************** Program Committee Y.
