The 23rd Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference
(COCOON'17) will be held in Hong Kong, China, during August 3--5,
2017. Original research papers in the areas of algorithms, theory of
computation, computational complexity, and combinatorics related to
computing are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are
particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and
applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special
consideration will be given to research that is motivated by
real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected to
show convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms
discussed in a practical setting.
Papers of high quality will be invited to special issues of
Algorithmica, Theoretical Computer Science (TCS), and Journal of
Combinatorial Optimization (JOCO).
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Algorithms and Data Structures
Algorithmic Game Theory
Approximation Algorithms and Online Algorithms
Automata, Languages, Logic, and Computability
Complexity Theory
Computational Learning Theory and Knowledge Discovery
Cryptography, Reliability and Security, and Database Theory
Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
Computational Algebra, Geometry, and Number Theory
Graph Drawing and Information Visualization
Graph Theory, Communication Networks, and Optimization
Parallel and Distributed Computing
Important dates
==============
Paper submission due: March 20, 2017 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification of Acceptance: May 20, 2017
Camera-ready and Registration: June 1, 2017
Conference Dates: August 3--5, 2017
Submission instructions
====================
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of original research
on Computing and Combinatorics. Submissions must contain a scholarly
exposition of the ideas, techniques, and a full description of the results
achieved. A clear indication of the motivation and comparison with prior
related work should be presented. Simultaneous submission to other
refereed conferences is disallowed. Papers authored or co-authored by
members of the program committee are not allowed.
Submissions must adhere to the following guidelines: Papers must be
formatted using the LNCS style file
(ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip)
without altering margins or the font point. The maximum length of the
paper (excluding references and the optional appendix) is 12 pages.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix
to be read by the program committee members at their discretion.
Papers that deviate from these guidelines risk being rejected without
consideration of their merits. Papers should be submitted electronically
via EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=cocoon2017).
