The Ninth Annual International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation
will be held in Taejon, Korea, December 14--16, 1998.
The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working in
algorithms and the theory of computation.  Papers presenting original
research in the areas of design and analysis of algorithms, 
computational complexity, and theory of computation are sought.
Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:

 * Algorithms and Data Structures 
 * Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
 * Automata and Formal Languages
 * Computational Geometry 
 * Combinatorial Optimization
 * Computational Learning Theory 
 * Cryptography and Complexity Theory 
 * Probabilistic and Randomized Algorithms

Important dates: 

  Submission of Papers      May 24, 1998
  Notification of Accept.   July 26,  1998
  Final Version due         August 8,  1998

Submissions:
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full draft paper 
before  May 24, 1998, by surface mail or e-mail, 
to the Program Committee Co-Chair:

  Kyung-Yong Chwa -- ISAAC'98
  (e-mail: submission@jupiter.kaist.ac.kr) 
  Department of Computer Science 
  Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
  373-1 Kusong-dong, Yusong-gu 
  Taejon, 305-701, Korea

An abstract should start with the title of the paper, each author's name, 
affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results.
The extended abstract should provide sufficient detail to allow the Program 
Committee to evaluate its validity, quality, and relevance to the symposium.
The length of the extended abstract should not exceed ten (10) letter-sized 
pages (using 11 point or larger font, with ample margins all around).
More details may be given in appendix but any material beyond the 10-page 
limit may be ignored at the discretion of the Program Committee.

For hard copy submissions, send 15 copies of
an extended abstract to the Co-Chair Kyung-Yong Chwa. 
Alternatively (and preferably), submit a standard postscript 
version of the draft by an e-mail.  
To get the instruction for electronic submissions,
visit our web pages at http://jupiter.kaist.ac.kr/~isaac98/,
or e-mail to submission@jupiter.kaist.ac.kr with subject HELP.\\

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by July 26, 1998.
The proceedings are accepted in principle for publication in the 
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Selected papers will be published in a special issue of 
Theoretical Computer Science.
