CALL FOR PAPERS

ESA 2013
21st European Symposium on Algorithms

http://algo2013.inria.fr/esa.shtml

Sophia Antipolis, France
September 2-4, 2013

--------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL INFORMATION

The European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA) is one of the premier
conferences on algorithms. The symposium covers research in all
aspects of the design, analysis, and application of algorithms and
data structures. ESA 2013 has two tracks: the Design and Analysis
Track (Track A) and the Engineering and Applications Track
(Track B). The symposium seeks original algorithmic contributions
for problems with relevant theoretical and/or practical
applications: papers with a strong emphasis on the theoretical
analysis of algorithms should be submitted to Track A, while papers
reporting on the results of extensive experimental evaluations
and/or providing original contributions to the engineering of
algorithms for practical applications should be submitted to
Track B. ESA 2013 is organized in collaboration with the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and is part
of ALGO 2013.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS

Papers presenting original research in all areas of algorithmic
research are sought, including but not limited to:

- Algorithm engineering
- Algorithmic aspects of networks
- Algorithmic game theory
- Approximation algorithms
- Computational biology
- Computational finance
- Computational geometry
- Combinatorial optimization
- Data compression
- Data structures
- Databases and information retrieval
- Distributed and parallel computing
- Graph algorithms
- Hierarchical memories
- Heuristics and meta-heuristics
- Mathematical programming
- Mobile computing
- On-line algorithms
- Parameterized complexity
- Pattern matching
- Quantum computing
- Randomized algorithms
- Scheduling and resource allocation problems
- Streaming algorithms.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of
at most 12 pages and an optional appendix.

* Papers must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LNCS style file
(available through the conference website). The maximum length of
the paper (including references, but excluding the optional
appendix) is 12 pages. Do not change the margin size or the font, do
not make a separate title page, etc.: use the LNCS style file
as given, but please do add page numbers, which can be done,
for example, by adding

\pagestyle{plain}

just before
\begin{document}

* Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an
appendix to be read by the program committee members at their
discretion.

These guidelines are strict: papers failing to adhere to the
guidelines (by not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix,
being more than 12 pages, or not being in LNCS format) will be
rejected without consideration of their merits.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair
submission system, accessible via
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esa20130
and with the appropriate track selected. Simultaneous submission to
other conferences with published proceedings, or to both tracks
of ESA 2013, is not permitted. There will be a Best Student Paper
Award, as well as a Best Paper Award. The ESA proceedings will be
published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by
Springer-Verlag. Each accepted paper will be allotted 12 pages in
the proceedings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES

* Submission deadline: Monday, April 22, 2012, 20:00 GMT (22:00 CEST, 23:00 IDT)
* Notification: Monday, June 10, 2013
