[DMANET] Graph Spectra in Computer Science: final call for abstracts

Final call for abstracts
==================================================================================
CRM CONFERENCE ON APPLICATIONS OF GRAPH SPECTRA IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

July 16-20, 2012, Barcelona


http://www.crm.es/Activitats/Activitats/2011-2012/GraphSpectra/web-graphspectra/
==================================================================================

DESCRIPTION

The main aim of the conference is to bring together diverse
collection of researchers in graph theory, computer science and
complex networks, interested in the applications of graph spectra, to
discuss current trends and future directions in this area.

Note that it is not necessary to submit an original paper in order
to present a talk at the conference: we would also like to hear about
your recently published results that use graph spectra!

Abstract for a talk may be submitted via the EasyChair website at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ags2012.

Speakers who do not have an EasyChair account should sign up for an
account from the above link, and then return to it again to submit an
abstract.

Abstract submission deadline (extended): June 10, 2012
Abstract acceptance notification (extended): June 30, 2012

Consequently, there will be no standard book of proceedings for the
conference (just a book of abstracts). Instead, authors may submit
their original research papers to a special issue of Discrete Applied
Mathematics devoted to the conference theme. The deadline for
submission of full papers is November 15, 2012. Papers will be subject
to a strict review process managed by the Guest Editors: Francesc
Comellas, Robert Elsasser and Dragan Stevanovic.
