Final Call for Papers - Deadline Extension
================================================================================
26th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms (IWOCA 2015)
Verona, Italy, 5-7 Oct. 2015
http://iwoca2015.di.univr.it
Paper submission deadline: 18 June 2015 (EXTENDED)
=================================================================================
IWOCA 2015 continues the long and well-established tradition of encouraging high-quality research in theoretical computer science and providing an opportunity to bring together specialists and young researchers working in the area. The scientific program will include three invited lectures covering the areas of main interest, accepted contributed talks, posters, and an open problem session.
This year for the first time, we will have a best student paper award, sponsored by the EATCS.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
Béla Bollobás, Cambridge University, UK, and University of Memphis, TN, USA
Frank Ruskey, University of Victoria, Canada
Esko Ukkonen, University of Helsinki, Finland
SCOPE:
We solicit high-quality papers in the broad area of combinatorial algorithms. Topics include (but are not restricted to): Algorithms and Data Structures (including sequential, parallel, distributed, approximation, probabilistic, randomised, and on-line algorithms); Algorithms on Strings and Graphs; Applications (Bioinformatics, Music Analysis, Networking, and others); Combinatorics on Words; Combinatorial Enumeration; Combinatorial Optimization; Complexity Theory; Computational Biology; Compression and Information Retrieval; Cryptography and Information Security; Decompositions and Combinatorial Designs; Discrete and Computational Geometry; Graph Drawing and Labelling; Graph Theory
PROCEEDINGS AND SPECIAL ISSUE:
The conference proceedings with invited papers and accepted contributed papers will be published after the conference as a volume of the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science. There will be a special issue of the journal Discrete Applied Mathematics with papers from the conference.
SUBMISSIONS:
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12 pages in LNCS style, including references. A clearly marked Appendix can be included, which will be read at the referees' discretion. All submissions have to be made via the EasyChair page for the conference. No simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is allowed, and submitted papers should not be under review by a journal during the whole refereeing process. At least one author of each accepted paper will be expected to attend the conference and present the paper.
VENUE:
The conference will take place in the historic center of Verona, which is a Unesco world heritage site. Verona is easily reachable by plane or train from anywhere in Europe.
