CALL FOR PAPERS
First Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms
Co-located with ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA'18)
January 7-10, 2018
New Orleans, LA, USA
Submission deadline: August 24, 2017

**************************************************************************************
*Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms* is a new conference in theoretical
computer science dedicated to advancing algorithms research by promoting
simplicity and elegance in the design and analysis of algorithms. The
benefits of simplicity are manifold: simple algorithms manifest a better
understanding of the problem at hand; they are more likely to be
implemented and trusted by practitioners; they are more easily taught and
are more likely to be included in algorithms textbooks; they attract a
broader set of researchers to difficult algorithmic problems.
Papers in all areas of algorithms research are sought. An ideal submission
will advance our understanding of an algorithmic problem by, for example,
* introducing a simpler algorithm, or
* presenting a simpler analysis of an existing algorithm, or
* offering insights that generally simplify our understanding of
important computational problems.
An ideal submission will contain *novel ideas* or *attractive insights* but
is not expected to prove *novel theorems*, i.e., the results themselves can
be known, but their presentation must be new.
Proceedings:
The proceedings will be published in Schloss Dagstuhl's OpenAccess
Series in Informatics (OASIcs).
