Christos Zaroliagis: ESA 2016 - final call for papers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
24th European Symposium on Algorithms - ESA 2016
22-26 August 2016, Aarhus, Denmark
http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/esa/

Submission deadline: 21.04.2016
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 2016 has two tracks: the Design and Analysis Track (Track A) and
the Engineering and Applications Track (Track B).

ESA 2016 is organized in collaboration with the European Association
for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and is a part of ALGO 2016
(http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, both sponsored by EATCS. In order for a paper to be considered
for the Best Student Paper Award, all of its authors are required to
be students.

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

research are sought, including but not limited to:

Algorithm engineering

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission: April 21, 23:59 AoE, 2016
Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2016
Final version: June 22, 2016
Symposium: August 22-26, 2016

Deadlines are firm: late submissions will not be considered.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PROCEEDINGS

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

For the first time the ESA 2016 proceedings will be published in the
Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series,
based at Schloss Dagstuhl.

Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LIPIcs style file
(https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/).
The maximum length of the paper (excluding references and 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 LIPIcs style file as
given. 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 LIPIcs format) will be rejected
without consideration of their merits.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esa16).

Results previously published in another conference proceedings or
journal (or scheduled for publication prior to ESA) will not be
accepted at ESA. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with
published proceedings, or to both tracks of ESA 2016, is not
permitted.

There will be a Best Student Paper Award as well as a Best Paper
Award, both sponsored by EATCS. In order for a paper to be considered
for the Best Student Paper Award, all of its authors are required to
be students.

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of
acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2016 or
ESA 206, attend the conference, and present the paper.
