Publication
The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers will be invited to special
issues of Algorithmica and
International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications.
Paper Submission
Submissions should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques,
and results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related
work.
Sub-missions including title, abstract, and references, must be typeset
using LNCS style; they must not exceed 10 pages. An optional appendix
should
be used to provide proof details that do not fit in the main text.
Submitted
papers must describe work not previously published. They must not be
submitted
simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a
journal.
Drafts which contain essentially the same results as papers under
review in
other conferences or journals at the moment of submission cannot be
submitted
to ISAAC 2011. Only electronic submission (pdf) will be allowed via
the easychair submission server
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaac2011).
Awards
A Best Paper and a Best Student Paper will be awarded. A paper is
eligible for the Best Student Paper Award if all authors are full-time
students at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is
eligible,
please add the phrase "Eligible for the Best Student Paper Award" as the
last sentence in the "Abstract" field in the Web form of the
submission server
as well as in the paper.
