CALL FOR PAPERS
SCOPE
-----
Approximation and online algorithms are fundamental tools to deal with
computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is gradually
disclosed over time. Both kinds of problems have a large number of
applications, arising from a variety of fields.
The workshop focuses on the design and analysis of approximation and
online algorithms. It also covers experimental methods used to design and
analyze efficient approximation and online algorithms. WAOA 2011 will be
part of ALGO 2011, which also hosts ESA, ATMOS, WABI, IPEC, and ALGOSENSORS.
ALGO 2011 will take place 5-9 September 2011 in Saarbruecken, Germany.
This year's WAOA invited speaker is Klaus Jansen from the University of
Kiel.
TOPICS
------
Papers are solicited in all research areas related to approximation and
online algorithms, including, but not limited to:
* algorithmic game theory
* approximation classes
* coloring and partitioning
* competitive analysis
* computational finance
* cuts and connectivity
* geometric problems
* graph algorithms
* inapproximability results
* mechanism design
* network design
* packing and covering
* paradigms for the design and analysis of approximation and online
algorithms
* parameterized complexity
* randomization techniques
* real-world applications
* scheduling problems
PUBLICATION
-----------
Proceedings will be published after the workshop takes place in the Springer
series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Instructions for authors can be
found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Selected papers from the workshop will be published in a special issue of
Theory of Computing Systems.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------- ----------
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most
12 pages describing original unpublished research. Simultaneous submission
to other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted. The title
page of the submission should include the authors' full names, addresses,
e-mail addresses, and an abstract summarizing the results in roughly 100-200
words; the remainder of the submission should contain a description of the
main results and an explanation of their importance. The submission must
include a full proof of the results, part of which can be placed in the
appendix, whose length is not constrained.
Papers must be submitted electronically at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2011
The submission must be received by 23:59 (GMT) on June 22, 2011. Each accepted
paper must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.
