CALL FOR PAPERS
********************
Original research papers in the areas of combinatorial optimization
and its applications are solicited. In addition to theoretical
results, we are particularly interested in submissions that report on
experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest.
Special consideration will be given to research that is motivated by
real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected to
show convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms
discussed in a practical setting.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Typical, but not exclusive,
topics of interest include:
* Algorithms and Data Structures
* Approximation Algorithms
* Bioinformatics
* Communication Networks
* Computational Algebra
* Computational Biology
* Computational Financing
* Computational Game Theory
* Computational Geometry
* Computational Learning Theory
* Computational Number Theory
* Extremal Graph Theory
* Graph Searching
* Graph Theory
* Network Flow
* Network Optimization Problems
* Operation Research
* Optimal Resource Management
* Parallel and Distributed Computing
* Scheduling
Paper Submission:
The submission should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas,
techniques, and results, including motivation and a clear comparison
with related work. The length of the submission should not exceed 15
pages in LNCS style. Submitted papers must describe work not
previously published. They must not be submitted simultaneously to
another conference with refereed proceedings or to a journal. We
regard the following case as a simultaneous submission. Submission of
drafts which contain the essentially same results from papers under
review in other conferences or journals at the moment of the
submission. Only electronic submission (pdf) will be allowed via the
Springer Online Conference System (OCS).
Publication:
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. After the conference,
some selected papers will be published in special issues of
Theoretical Computer Science, Journal of Combinatorial Optimization,
Optimization Letters, and Discrete Mathematics, Algorithms and
Applications.
