The 5th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA '97) will be
held in Graz, Austria, September 15-17, 1997.  The European Symposium
on Algorithms covers research in the use, design, and analysis of
algorithms as it is carried out in computer science, discrete applied
mathematics and mathematical programming, with emphasis on questions of
efficiency.  Papers are solicited describing original results in  all
fields of algorithms research, such as Approximation Algorithms;
Combinatorial Optimization; Computational Biology; Computational
Geometry; Evolutionary Algorithms; Graph and Network Algorithms; Neural
Computing; Number Theory and Computer Algebra; On-line Algorithms;
Parallel and Distributed Computing; Pattern Matching and Data
Compression; Symbolic Computation, and so on.

Authors are invited to submit 13 copies of an extended abstract or
full draft paper of at most 10 pages before March 3, 1997 to

    Rainer E. Burkard - ESA '97
    TU Graz, Dept. Mathematics
    Steyrergasse 30
    A-8010 Graz, Austria

Alternatively, authors may submit their manuscripts electronically.
Electronic submission is strongly preferred (but make sure that you
send us a standard Postscript file).  Further information is available
