*Description*

The Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX11) will
be held on January 22, 2011 at the Holiday Inn San Francisco Golden
Gateway, San Francisco, California, USA.

The aim of the ALENEX workshop is to provide a forum for presentation
of original research in the implementation and experimental evaluation of
algorithms and data structures. We invite submissions that present
significant case studies in experimental analysis (such studies may
tighten, extend, or otherwise improve current theoretical results) or
in the implementation, testing, and evaluation of algorithms for realistic
environments and scenarios, including specific applied areas (for
example, databases, networks, operations research, computational biology
and physics, computational geometry, and the world wide web) that present
unique challenges in their underlying algorithmic problems. We
also invite submissions that address methodological issues and standards
in the context of empirical research on algorithms and data structures.
The scientific program will include time for discussion and debate of
topics in this rapidly evolving research area.
This workshop precedes the ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms

(SODA11) <http://www.siam.org/meetings/da11/>
being held January 23-25, 2011.
The workshop will take place on the same day as the Analytic
Algorithmics and Combinatorics (ANALCO11)
<http://www.siam.org/meetings/analco11/>.
Since researchers in both
fields are approaching the problem of learning detailed information
about the performance of particular algorithms, we expect that
interesting synergies will develop.

Registrants from either workshop will be cross-registered with the
other. Proceedings of ALENEX and ANALCO will be published openly and
electronically in January 2011. A special issue of the ACM Journal of
Experimental Algorithmics will be dedicated to selected papers from
ALENEX10.

A paper that has been reviewed and accepted for presentation at SODA
is not eligible for submission to ALENEX. We recognize, however, that some
research projects spawn multiple papers that elaborate on different
aspects of the work, and are willing to respond to inquiries about SODA,
ALENEX, and ANALCO papers that may overlap. Papers of interest to both
the ALENEX and the ANALCO communities are particularly encouraged. Such
papers may be submitted to either workshop and will, as appropriate,
be presented in a joint session. Inquiries regarding ALENEX may be sent
to workshop organizers Matthias Mueller-Hannemann
(muellerh<at>informatik.uni-halle.de) or Renato Werneck
(renatow<at>microsoft.com).

The ALENEX workshop is supported by SIAM (Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics) and SIGACT (ACM Special Interest Group on
Algorithms and Computation Theory).
