Call for papers and posters
-----
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of at most
twelve pages by November 30, 2011. To submit papers please
visit the conference website
http://www.math.nagoya-u.ac.jp/fpsac12
Author instructions can also be found at the conference website.
The submitted papers should begin with a short abstract written
both in English and in French (translation provided if necessary).
Authors should indicate the mode of presentation which they
consider appropriate for their paper, i.e. lecture or poster.
The notifications of acceptance are scheduled for March 1, 2012.
The accepted extended abstracts will be published in a volume
dedicated to FPSAC'12 of Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical
Computer Science Proceedings
http://www.dmtcs.org/dmtcs-ojs/index.php/proceedings
If authors desire to publish full versions of papers elsewhere,
this is no problem, as long as the extended abstract is indeed
a short version of the full paper.
Important Note: Each submitted abstract must be prepared in
accordance with LaTeX (see http://www.ams.org/tex ). Authors
are required to use the LaTeX template which is provided on
the 'Author Instructions' section of the conference website.
Open problem session
-----
Contributions to the problem session are invited in advance
of the conference dates. People interested in submitting a problem
in advance should submit it by e-mail to fpsac12@math.nagoya-u.ac.jp
before June 15, 2012.
Software demonstrations
-----
Demonstrations of software relevant to the topics of the conference
are encouraged. People interested in giving a software demonstration
should submit to fpsac12@math.nagoya-u.ac.jp before March 1, 2012
a paper briefly explaining the software, and including the hardware
requirements.
Best Student Paper Award
-----
In an ongoing FPSAC tradition, an award will be made for the best
paper submitted by a graduate student. Students submitting extended
abstracts are invited to indicate their eligibility for this award.
Participant support
-----
Limited funds are available for partial support of participants;
in particular for students, junior scientists, and mathematicians
from under-represented groups. Requests should contain a letter
of recommendation and include the estimated transportation and
living expenses for the duration of the conference as well as
the amount of any support available from other sources. All
requests should be sent by March 15, 2012. Please see the conference
