Papers presenting original contributions in the areas of algorithms are being sought. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include: * combinatorial algorithms on graphs, networks and VLSI * computational geometry and algebra * data structures * probabilistic and approximation algorithms * parallel and distributed algorithms * cryptography * computational complexity The Symposium will consist of several invited talks and contributed papers. Proceedings will be available at the Symposium. The official language of the Symposium is English. The Symposium will be held just before the International Congress of Mathematicians 1990 at Kyoto, Japan.
