CALL FOR PAPERS
ICALP 2011 Workshop on

ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES FOR SELECTION,
IDENTIFICATION AND ENCODING
Group testing, compressed sensing, multi access communication and more.

July, 3, 2011, Zurich (Switzerland)
https://sites.google.com/site/icalp2011gt/


SCOPE:
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers to exchange ideas and results related to the theoretical and practical aspects of group testing, compressed sensing, and combinatorial identification in a broad sense.

Papers presenting use of group testing and selection primitives in pattern matching, data structures for static membership, communication protocols, cryptographic protocols, streaming computation, bioinformatics and computational biology, compressed sensing, as well as papers focussing on theoretical aspects of combinatorial structures for identification and coding, like randomness extractors, superimposed codes, list-decodable codes, selectors, and the like are welcome.

All the above topics are open to both research and industry contributions. Papers reporting on original research unpublished elsewhere as well as surveys of important results, especially recent ones, are invited.

SUBMISSIONS:
Authors should send an extended abstract via the online submission system (easy chair) at
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=icalp2011gt

Since there are no official proceedings, simultaneous submission to other conferences are possible. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop.

PROCEEDINGS and SPECIAL ISSUE:
A selection of the papers accepted for presentation at the workshop will be invited for a special issue of Algorithmica. There are no official proceedings. A booklet with the extended abstracts of the papers presented at the conference will be distributed to the participants.

IMPORTANT DATES:
* Paper submission due (extended): May 20, 2011
* Notification of acceptance: June 5, 2011
