However, there still exists a large class of problems, known as irregularly structured problems, that lack efficient solutions and systems support. The workshop on solving irregularly structured problems in parallel is the sixth in the series, after Geneva, Lyon, Santa Barbara, Paderborn, and Berkeley. Scope: Irregular'99 aims at fostering the cooperation among practitioners and theoreticians of the field. Papers for oral presentation are solicited in all research areas related to parallelism of irregular problems, including but not limited to: data structures and graph algorithms, numerical algorithms, mesh and sparse matrix computations, approximation and combinatorial optimization, parallel languages and models, compiler optimization and runtime systems, caching, load balancing and scheduling, resource management (I/O, memory, and CPU), performance prediction and simulation, Internet computing and data-intensive applications. Publication: Workshop papers will be published by Springer Verlag as part of their Lecture Notes in the Computer Science Series, and they will also appear in the CD-ROM version of the IPPS/SPDP Proceedings. For more information on IPPS/SPDP'99, check www.ippsxx.org. Extended versions of selected papers will be solicited for a journal edition. Previous proceedings of Irregular series appeared as LNCS 980, 1117, 1253 and 1457. For more information on Irregular'98, check www.nersc.gov/Irregular98 . Submission guidelines: Contributions must be submitted electronically to irregular99@cs.ucsb.edu. The submission should include an extended abstract using the postscript format in no more than 5 pages, and a cover page with the ASCII format. The cover page should contain the paper title, authors' full names, address and fax number, and key terms. Work-in-progress papers on hot topics are encouraged to submit. It is expected that accepted papers will be presented at the workshop.
