[DMANET] ICALP 2019 - First Call for Papers

==================================
ICALP 2019 - First Call for Papers
==================================

https://icalp2019.upatras.gr/

The 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP)
will take place in Patras, Greece, on 8-12 July 2019.

ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association for
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will be preceded by a series
of workshops, which will take place on 8 July 2019.


=============== Important dates =======================

Submission deadline: Monday 18 February 2019, 23:59 AoE
Notification: Friday 19 April 2019
Early registration deadline: Thursday 30 May 2019

Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered.

===========================
Submissions and Proceedings
===========================

ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in
Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is a series of high-quality conference
proceedings across all fields in informatics established in cooperation with
Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz Center for Informatics. LIPIcs volumes are published
according to the principle of Open Access, i.e., they are available online and
free of charge.

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12 pages,
excluding references presenting original research on the theory of computer
science. All submissions must be formatted in the LIPIcs style
https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/)
and submitted via Easychair to the appropriate track of the conference. The use
of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style are mandatory: papers that deviate significantly
from the required format may be rejected without consideration of merit.

No prior publication and no simultaneous submission to other publication outlets
(either a conference or a journal) is allowed.

Technical details necessary for a proper scientific evaluation of a submission
must be included in the 12-page submission or in a clearly labelled appendix, to
be consulted at the discretion of program committee members. Authors are strongly encouraged
to also make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in an on-line
repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC.

Best Paper Awards
-----------------
As in previous editions of ICALP, there will be best paper and best student paper
awards for each track of the conference. In order to be eligible for a best student
paper award, a paper should be authored only by students and should be marked as
such upon submission.
