ALGORITHMICA

                           Call For Papers:
          Special Issue on Coarse Grained Parallel Algorithms

                         Editor: Frank Dehne

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Special Issue:

Submissions are invited for a special issue of Algorithmica on coarse
grained parallel algorithms. Papers are solicited on all algorithmic
aspects related to the programming of realistic, commercially available,
parallel machines with a limited number of processors and considerable 
local memory (possibly secondary memory) and processing power available 
at each processor. Experimental as well as theoretical work is invited. 
A rigorous analysis of the algorithmic performance, based on realistic 
assumptions about the parallel architecture, is necessary. Theoretical 
work accompanied by experimental results is especially valued. Current 
surveys or reviews are also welcome.

For more information please contact the special issue editor.
