SEA 2012
11th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms
http://sea2012.labri.fr/
June 7-9, 2012
Bordeaux, France
CALL FOR PAPERS
AIMS & SCOPE
SEA, previously known as WEA (Workshop on Experimental Algorithms), is an
international forum for researchers in the area of design, analysis, and
experimental evaluation and engineering of algorithms, as well as in various
aspects of computational optimization and its applications. The preceding
symposia were held in Riga, Monte Verita, Rio de Janeiro, Santorini, Menorca
Island, Rome, Cape Cod, Dortmund, Ischia Island, and Crete.
The main theme of the symposium is the role of experimentation and of
algorithm engineering techniques in the design and evaluation of
algorithms and data structures. Submissions should present significant
contributions supported by experimental evaluation, methodological
issues in the design and interpretation of experiments, the use of
(meta-)heuristics, or application-driven case studies that deepen the
understanding of a problem's complexity.

PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will appear in the SEA 2012 proceedings published
by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. (Some papers may be invited
to be published as short papers.)
SPECIAL ISSUE
Selected papers from SEA 2012 will be considered for a special
issue of the ACM Journal on Experimental Algorithmics
(http://www.jea.acm.org/).
SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting
original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics
related to the symposium. Simultaneous submission to other conferences
or workshops with published proceedings is not allowed.
Submissions must not exceed 12 pages formatted according to LNCS
style plus an optional, clearly marked appendix of reasonable
length (to be read at the program committee's discretion). All papers
will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the authors.
