Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of at most twelve

sending one postscript file by email to fpsac97@risc.uni-linz.ac.at. If an
author is not able to send a postscript version of her/his extended
abstract,
four copies of the extended abstract should be mailed to
Peter Paule, Chairman of the Program committee of
FPSAC '97, RISC,

session. The notifications of acceptance or rejection are scheduled
for the beginning of March 1997.
The authors whose papers will have been accepted for a lecture or a
poster presentation will have the possibility to submit a complete
version of their work to a special issue of the journal "Discrete
Mathematics," devoted to the conference FPSAC '97. The deadline for
submission to the special issue is September 1, 1997.
Contributions to the problem session are invited in advance of the
conference dates. If possible, problems should be submitted by
e-mail to the address fpsac97@risc.uni-linz.ac.at.
Demonstrations of software relevant to the topics of the conference
are encouraged. People interested in giving a software demonstration
should submit a paper as described above, including the hardware
requirements, before January 15, 1997, by email to
fpsac97@risc.uni-linz.ac.at.
Limited funds are available for partial support of participants,
in particular for students and scientists from Eastern countries.
Requests should contain a letter of recommendation and include the
estimated transportation and living expenses as well as the amount of
support available from other sources. All requests should be sent
in duplicate by January 15, 1997 to the following address :
Christian Krattenthaler, Chairman of the Organizing committee of FPSAC '97,

Universität Wien, Strudlhofgasse 4,
A-1090 Vienna, AUSTRIA.
The conference will take place at the
Institut für Mathematik
of the Universität Wien.
The Institut für Mathematik is
located 10 minutes walking distance from the city center.
The first talk is scheduled on July 14, 1997 at 9:00 a.m.
Rooms have been blocked for the participants of the conference
at Hotel**** Kaiser Franz Joseph (at the special rates of
660 ATS/single room, 880 ATS/double;
this includes breakfast; the hotel is 15 minutes by tram from the Institut
für Mathematik) and
at the Studentenheim Strudlhofgasse (at the rates of
210 ATS/single, 330 ATS/double;
without breakfast, there are shared bath and shower facilities, and
common kitchens where breakfast or other small
meals could be prepared; the Studentenheim is directly opposite the

If you want to book a room at a hotel on your own, then you may
contact the Wiener Tourismusverband, Obere Augartenstraße 40, A-1020
