[DMANET] The 7th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2012)

Call For Papers:

The 7th International Symposium on
Parameterized and Exact Computation IPEC 2012,
http://ipec2012.isoftcloud.gr/
September 12-14, 2012, Ljubljana, Slovenia

The 7th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation
(IPEC 2012)
covers research in all aspects of parameterized/exact algorithms and
complexity. Papers
presenting original research in the area are sought, including but not
limited to: new techniques
for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms,
fixed-parameter tractability
results, parameterized complexity theory, relationship between
parameterized complexity and
traditional complexity classifications, applications of parameterized and
exact computation, and
implementation issues of parameterized and exact algorithms. In
particular, studies on
parameterized and exact computations for real-world applications and
algorithmic engineering
are especially encouraged.

IPEC 2012 will be part of ALGO 2012, which also hosts ESA 2012,
ALGOSENSORS 2012,
WAOA 2012, ATMOS 2012, and MASSIVE 2012. ALGO 2012 will take place September
9-14, 2012 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no longer
than 12 pages using
at least 11-point font, preferably in LNCS-style, describing original
unpublished research.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is
not permitted.
Additional details as necessary may be included in a clearly marked
appendix that will be
read at the discretion of the program committee. Authors must submit their
papers electronically.
A detailed description of the electronic submission process is available
at the symposium
website. Program committee members (except the co-chairs) are allowed to
submit papers.

Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings in the
Springer series
Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Authors of accepted papers are expected
to present
their work at the symposium, and to incorporate the comments from the
program committee

The Program Committee may award an Excellent Student Paper Award to one or
more
papers accepted to the symposium. A paper is eligible for the award if all
authors are
students at the time of submission, where a student is someone who has not
been
awarded a PhD before the paper submission deadline.

Invited Speackers:

Daniel Marx (MTA SZTAKI, Hungary)
Andreas Bjorklund (Lund University)

Important Dates:

Paper Submission: June 17, 23:59 GMT
Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2012
Final manuscript due: July 29, 2012
Symposium: September 12-14, 2012
