11th GASCom 2018, June 18-20, Athens, Greece

Second Announcement: 11th GASCom 2018, 18-20 June, Athens, Greece


The 11th edition of the conference GASCom on random generation of combinatorial structures will be held at the Harokopio University in Athens, Greece, on June 18-20, 2018.


The details that follow can also be found at GASCom 2018 http://gascom2018.hua.gr/ website, together with more information about the conference.


SCOPE
The conference GASCom brings together researchers in combinatorics, algorithms, probabilities, and more generally mathematical computer science, around the theme of random and exhaustive generation of combinatorial structures, mostly considered from a theoretical point of view. In connection with this main theme, the conference is also interested in contributions in enumerative or analytic combinatorics, and interactions with other areas of mathematics, computer science, physics or biology.

The conference is both interested in methods for random or exhaustive generation and in original results on combinatorial or algorithmic questions, whose solution has been made possible by an approach involving random or exhaustive generation.



TOPICS
- Random and exhaustive generation of combinatorial objects
- Enumerative and analytic combinatorics
- Algorithmic aspects: analysis of algorithms, probabilistic algorithms
- Interactions: bio-informatics, combinatorics on words, tilings,...



INVITED SPEAKERS

Maria Bras-Amorós (Universitat Rovira I Virgili, Tarragona, Spain)

Charalambos Charalambides (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece)

Torsten Mütze (Technische Universität Berlin, Germany)

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: March 25, 2018 (extended)
Notification: April 30, 2018.
Final version: May 15, 2018

Early registration: May 31, 2018



SUBMISSION

All papers should present original and previously unpublished work that is currently not under review in any conference or journal. Both basic and applied research papers are welcome. A poster session is also expected.
We invite you to submit an extended abstract of at least 6 pages and at most 10 pages sending a pdf file to gascom18@hua.gr by March 15, 2018.



PROCEEDINGS

Accepted contributions will be electronically published and distributed to participants on electronic media. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEUR-WS.org) for online publication. Additionally, it is planned to publish a post-proceedings volume containing a selection of the accepted contributions with Springer in their Communications in Computer and Information Science series (final approval pending). Authors of these selected papers will be invited to submit thoroughly revised and enlarged full papers (at least 12-15 pages long), containing at least 30% new material with respect to the extended abstracts, to be considered for publication in CCIS.
