applications.  The selected papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings 
published by the IEEE Computer Society.  Topics of interests include: 

* Data and program partitioning. 

* Static and dynamic scheduling, load balancing, communication and I/O 
  scheduling. 

* Partitioning and scheduling in scientific and engineering computing,
  especially for solving irregular problems.
