WG 2018: CALL FOR PAPERS

44th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science

June 27-29 2018, Schloss Lübbenau (near Cottbus), Germany

Website: http://www.wg2018.b-tu.de (will be online next week)

The WG 2018 conference is the 44th edition of the WG series. It will
take place in Schloss Lübbenau in the middle of Spreewald, near
Cottbus, Germany. The conference will take place from Wednesday June
27 to Friday June 29, 2018. Participants are expected to arrive in
Lübbenau on Tuesday June 26, to join the welcome reception in the
evening.


IMPORTANT DATES

Submission of papers: February 26, 2018
Acceptance notification: April 23, 2018
Conference: June 27-29, 2018
Final version: July 31, 2018


AIMS AND SCOPE

WG conferences aim to connect theory and applications by demonstrating
how graph-theoretic concepts can be applied in various areas of
computer science. The goal is to present recent results and to
identify and explore directions for future research. Submitted papers
should describe original results in any aspects of graph theory
related to computer science, including but not restricted to:

- design and analysis of sequential, parallel, randomized,
parameterized, and distributed graph and network algorithms,
- structural graph theory with algorithmic or complexity applications,
- computational complexity of graph and network problems,
- graph grammars, graph rewriting systems and graph modeling,
- graph drawing and layouts,
- computational geometry,
- computational biology,
- random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks, and
- support of these concepts by suitable implementations and
applications.


SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 12
pages Springer LNCS format including title, abstract, but excluding
references, without changes to the settings of margins and vertical
spacing, and with numbered pages. Proofs omitted due to space
restrictions must be placed in an appendix, to be read by program
committee members at their discretion. Simultaneous submission of
papers to any other conference with proceedings published or made
publicly available, or submitting papers previously accepted for
journal publication is not allowed. Invited papers and accepted
contributions will be published in the conference proceedings in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag.

Please submit your paper electronically at:

BEST PAPER AWARD AND BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD

Thanks to a generous donation by Springer Verlag, WG 2018 is able to
offer awards of 500 Euro for the best paper and the best student
paper. The awards will be decided by the program committee. The
committee can decide to split the award(s) over multiple papers.
Papers eligible for the best student paper can have non-student
co-authors, but the main work in a paper that is a candidate for the
best student paper award must be done by co-authors that were students
at the time of submission, and the award can be received only by such
co-authors. It must be indicated at the time of submission whether a
paper is candidate for this award.
