o Approximation Algorithms,
o Randomized Algorithms, 
o Graph Drawing and Graph Algorithms,
o Combinatorial Optimization, 
o Computational Biology, 
o Computational Finance, 
o Cryptography, 
o Parallel and Distributed Computing.  


SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and
unpublished research results on the symposium themes listed
above. Papers in applied areas with a strong foundational emphasis are
also welcome. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages using 11 point or
larger font.  Authors who feel that more details are necessary may
include a clearly marked appendix which will be read at the discretion
of the Program Committee. Selected papers from the conference will be
invited for submission to a special issue of Theory of Computing
Systems.

Submissions to the symposium this year will only be conducted
electronically either by e-mail or web.  Hard-copy submissions will
not be accepted. Details on the submission procedure are outlined in
the website: http://www.cs.carleton.ca/isaac2002. Any inquiries should

For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, at least one
of the authors must commit to presenting the paper at the
symposium. Accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in
Computer Science, Springer-Verlag.
