This workshop is a joint event with the 19th Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FST & TCS '99), which will be held on the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology in Chennai, India. The workshop will focus on Data Structures, with an emphasis on those relevant to current and emerging applications.

The workshop will be structured around eight invited talks by the following speakers: Sunil Arya (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), Gerth Brodal (BRICS), Paolo Ferragina (University of Pisa), Peter Bro Miltersen (University of Århus), Ian Munro (University of Waterloo), Torben Hagerup (University of Frankfurt), Giuseppe Italiano (University of Rome) and Rajeev Raman (King's College London).
