First Call for papers


Deadline: June 19th, 2015


Scope

Algorithms have become a fundamental tool in several fields outside of =
Computer Science, and in several applications algorithms have to cope =
with computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is =
gradually disclosed over time. The workshop focuses on the design and =
analysis of approximation and online algorithms. WAOA 2015 will be part =
of ALGO 2015, which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS, ATMOS, IPEC, =
and MASSIVE. ALGO 2015 will take place 14-18 September 2015 in Patras, =
Greece.


Topics

Papers are solicited in all research areas related to approximation and =
online algorithms, including, but not limited to:

algorithmic game theory
algorithmic trading
coloring and partitioning
competitive analysis
computational advertising
computational finance
cuts and connectivity
geometric problems
graph algorithms
inapproximability results
mechanism design
natural algorithms
network design
packing and covering
paradigms for the design and analysis of approximation and online =
algorithms
parameterized complexity
real-world applications
scheduling problems


Publication

Proceedings will be published after the workshop takes place in the =
Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Instructions for =
authors can be found at Springer web site.


Submission guidelines

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at =
most 12 pages in Springer's LNCS style (please add page numbers) =
describing original unpublished research. Simultaneous submission to =
other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted. The title =
page of the submission should include the authors' full names, =
addresses, e-mail addresses, and an abstract summarizing the results in =
roughly 100-200 words; the remainder of the submission should contain a =
description of the main results and an explanation of their importance. =
The submission must include a full proof of the results, part of which =
can be placed in the appendix, whose length is not constrained. Papers =
should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system.

The WAOA 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.
