====================================================
------
The 21st International Workshop on Randomization and Computation (RANDOM
2017) and the 20th International Workshop on Approximation
Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX 2017) will be
held on August 16-18, 2017 at the UC Berkeley, California.
RANDOM 2017 focuses on applications of randomness to computational and
combinatorial problems while APPROX 2017 focuses on algorithmic and
complexity theoretic issues relevant to the development of efficient
approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems.
Papers are solicited in all research areas related to randomization and
approximation, including but not limited to:
RANDOM
* design and analysis of randomized algorithms
* randomized complexity theory
* pseudorandomness and derandomization
* random combinatorial structures
* random walks/Markov chains
* expander graphs and randomness extractors
* probabilistic proof systems
* random projections and embeddings
* error-correcting codes
* average-case analysis
* property testing
* computational learning theory
APPROX
* design and analysis of approximation algorithms
* hardness of approximation
* small space, sub-linear time and streaming algorithms
* embeddings and metric space methods
* mathematical programming methods
* combinatorial problems in graphs and
* networks
* algorithmic game theory and economics
* computational geometric problems
* approximate learning
* online algorithms
* approaches that go beyond worst case analysis
* other applications
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submissions: April 21, 2017
Notifications: June 2 ,2017
Camera ready: June 19, 2017
SUBMISSIONS:
Abstract Format: Electronic submissions are solicited. Please consult
the following servers:
For submission of APPROX papers:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=approx2017
For submission of RANDOM papers:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=random2017
Note: You will be asked to login using an EasyChair account. Directions
on how to register for such an account are available at the submission
servers (you may also have an old account from a previous conference
submission).
The submission must be received by 15:00pm (PDT) of April 21st for your
submission to be considered.
Submission Format: Submissions should start with the title of the paper,
each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, followed by a
one-paragraph summary of the results to be presented. This should then
be followed by a technical exposition on single-spaced pages on
letter-size
paper, using reasonable margins and at least 11-point font. The first 10
pages should contain the main ideas and techniques used to achieve the
results including motivation and a clear comparison with related work
(not including the references). There is no page limit but any material
beyond the first 10 pages will be read at the sole discretion of the
program
committee. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published
proceedings is not allowed.
PROCEEDINGS:
Accepted papers will be published in the online proceedings of the
conference in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics
(LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl. This guarantees perennial,
free and
easy electronic access, while the authors retain the rights over their
work.
Further detail will be available early January at the conference
website. Previous proceedings of APPROX appeared as LNCS 1444, 1671,
1913, 2129,
2462, 2764, 3122, 3624, 4110 and 4627 while previous proceedings of
RANDOM appeared as LNCS 1269, 1518, 1671, 2129, 2483, 2764, 3122, 3624,
4110,
4627 and as Proceedings in Informatics 8.
