LOCATION

   Valdivia, also called the "City of Rivers" and "Southern Pearl," is
   one of the most beautiful cities in Chile. We expect an exciting
   meeting, with the main accommodation and conference site in a hotel
   facing Valdivia's main river. This will provide the opportunity for
   close interaction among participants in an attractive setting.


SUBMISSION:

   Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no
   longer than 12 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point
   font.  Additional necessary details may be included in a clearly
   marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program
   committee. Instructions for electronic submissions are available
   at the conference web site.


PROCEEDINGS & SPECIAL JOURNAL ISSUE

  Proceedings containing the accepted extended abstracts are published
  by Springer-Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series.
  Printed versions will be available at the conference.

  A special issue of Algorithmica will be devoted to selected papers
  contributed at the Conference.  The usual high standards of the
  journal will be applied through a strict and thorough refereeing
  process.
