			    WORKSHOP ON

	PARALLEL ALGORITHMS FOR IRREGULARLY STRUCTURED PROBLEMS 
	_______________________________________________________

		     Lyon, September 4--6, 1995


Efficient parallel solutions have been found to many problems.  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 95 - is the second in the series, started in Geneva in 1994,
that addresses issues related to deriving efficient solutions to
irregularly structured problems.  It will be held at the Ecole Normale
Supirieure de Lyon, France, on September 4--6, 1995.

Scope : IRREGULAR 95 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) approximated 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-
Verlarg lecture Notes in Computer Science series
and will be available at the workshop.

Submission guidelines : To submit a contribution, send 6 copies
of an extended  abstract describing original research
in no more than 15 pages to


      	IRREGULAR 95  
	LIP  
	ENS Lyon 
	46, allee  d'Italie 
	69364 Lyon Cedex 07 
	France 


Papers simultaneously submitted to other conferences with published
proceedings will not be considered.


Hard copy contributions  must be in Lyon no later than April 7, 1995.
E-mail (post-script file) contributions must be at
        irr95papers@lip.ens-lyon.fr
no later than April 21, 1995.

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.
