Ziv (Technion) THEME: This conference will bring together european and international researchers to exchange ideas and results related to the theoretical and practical aspects of Data Compression, Complexity, and Manipulation of Strings. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Lossless and lossy data compression, source coding, string algorithms, closest-match retrieval, information retrieval, statistical classification and pattern recognition , minimal length encoding and applications to learning, applications in molecular biology, parallel algorithms for compression and string manipulation. Papers reporting on original research unpublished elsewhere are primarily sought. Surveys of important results, especially recent ones, are also invited SUBMISSION: Authors should send by surface mail (NOT fax or email - Air Courier is strongly recommended) four copies of an extended abstract of 8 to 10 pages (including affiliation, address, phone number and email address) by February 18 1997 to: Dr. Bruno Carpentieri Dipartimento di Informatica ed Applicazioni "R. M. Capocelli" Universita' di Salerno 84081 Baronissi (SA) ITALY NOTIFICATION: Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection via email by March 20 1997. A final camera-ready draft is due April 4 1997. PROCEEDINGS The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Press. ___________________________________________________________________________ All future information about SEQUENCES97 will be sent by email!
