computation includes (but is not limited to):


Approximation Algorithms
Combinatorial Algorithms
Combinatorial Optimization
Computational Biology
Computational Geometry
Data Structures
Graph Algorithms
Graph Drawing
Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
Parameterized Complexity
Network Optimization
Online Algorithms
Randomized Algorithms
String Algorithms


CALL FOR PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit papers (extended abstracts) describing
original research of theoretical or practical significance to algorithms
and computation. Papers should not exceed 12 pages for long papers and 6
pages for short papers in LNCS style.Papers must be labeled as either
long or short and prepared using LaTex2e. If the authors feel that more
details are essential to substantiate the main claim of the paper, they
may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the program committee. Only electronic submission will be
allowed. Submitted papers must describe work not previously published.
They must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with
refereed proceedings or to a journal.


PROCEEDINGS

Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings,
which will be included in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in
Computer Science.


SPECIAL ISSUES OF JOURNALS

Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA) and Discrete
Mathematics, Algorithms and Applications (DMAA) will publish special
issues on WALCOM 2012.


VENUE

The workshop will be held in Bangladesh University of Engineering and
Technology (BUET), Dhaka. The workshop will be organized by the
Bangladesh Academy of Sciences and the Department of Computer Science
and Engineering, BUET.
