The 7-th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA '99) will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, July 16-18, 1999. The Symposium covers research in the use, design, and analysis of efficient algorithms and data structures as it is carried out in computer science, discrete applied mathematics and mathematical programming. Papers are solicited describing original results in all areas of algorithmic research, including but not limited to: Approximation Algorithms; Combinatorial Optimization; Computational Biology; Computational Geometry; Databases and Information Retrieval; Graph and Network Algorithms; Machine Learning; Number Theory and Computer Algebra; On-line Algorithms; Pattern Matching and Data Compression; Symbolic Computation. The algorithms may be sequential, distributed or parallel, and they should be analyzed either mathematically or by rigorous computational experiments. Submissions that report on experimental and applied research are especially encouraged.

Submissions

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full draft paper of at most 10 pages, and e-mail address, to arrive by January 17, 1999. For hard copy submissions mail 22 copies to
