[DMANET] ESA 2015 - call for papers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
23rd European Symposium on Algorithms - ESA 2015
14-16 September 2015, Patras, Greece
http://algo2015.upatras.gr/esa

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, engineering, and application of
algorithms and data structures.

ESA 2015 has two tracks: the Design and Analysis Track (Track A)
and the Engineering and Applications Track (Track B).

ESA 2015 is organized in collaboration with the European Association
for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and is a part of ALGO 2015
(http://algo2015.upatras.gr/).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

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.

There will be a Best Student Paper Award, as well as a Best Paper Award.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Algorithm engineering
Algorithmic aspects of networks
