CALL FOR PAPERS (Graduate Student Forum):

       Submissions for contributed talks by "graduate students and postdoc 
only" are invited for this year's workshop.  The workshop emphasizes the 
diversity of the use of combinatorial algorithms and graph theory in 
application areas. Examples of such areas of interest include:

    - Randomized Algorithms    - Networking
    - Graph Algorithms         - Internet Congestion and Patterns
    - Computational Biology    - Applied Combinatorics
    - Web Applications         - Geometric Graphs and Computation
    - Optimization             - Graph Theoretic Models

       Please send abstracts (1-2 pages) by email to Dr. Avivit Levy 
<AvivitLevy at gmail.com> by April 17, 2009. A cover letter should accompany 
the submission indicating the name of your thesis advisor. Papers that 
have been accepted to recent international conferences are particularly 
welcome, and should be so indicated in the submission.

REGISTRATION:
	The registration site will open shortly after Pesach.
Please visit:   <http://www.cri.haifa.ac.il>

WORKSHOP COMMITTEE:
        Martin Charles Golumbic <golumbic at cs.haifa.ac.il>
        Haim Kaplan <haimk at math.tau.ac.il>

OTHER CONFERENCES:
	The Haifa Graph Workshop (20-21 May 2009) immediately follows the 
European Conference on Combinatorial Optimization in Jerusalem (17-19 May)
ECCO-2009:    	<ie.technion.ac.il/~levinas/ecco2009.html>
	It also coincides temporally but not spatially with the 
Haifa Matrix Workshop to be held at the Technion
