[DMANET] IPEC 2014 - First CFP

Call For Papers

IPEC 2014

The 9th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation
Wrocław, Poland, September 10-12, 2014
http://algo2014.ii.uni.wroc.pl/ipec

The 9th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation
(IPEC 2014) 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 2014 will be part of ALGO 2014, which also hosts ESA 2014 and a
number of more specialized conferences and workshops. ALGO 2014 will
take place September 8-12, 2014, Wrocław, Poland

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no longer
than 12 pages (excluding appendices) using at least 11-point font, 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LNCS-style, describing original unpublished research.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.

Additionally this year there will be a poster session, hence authors are
also invited to submit their posters to IPEC 2014.

SPECIAL ISSUE OF ALGORITHMICA

Selected papers of IPEC 2014 will be invited for a special issue of
Algorithmica.

EATCS-IPEC NERODE PRIZE 2014

The 2014 EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize for outstanding papers in the area of
multivariate algorithmics will be awarded during IPEC 2014 to Hans L.
Bodlaender, Rodney G. Downey, Michael R. Fellows, Lance Fortnow, Danny
Hermelin, and Rahul Santhanam. Hans L. Bodlaender will give an invited
talk at IPEC 2014.
