[DMANET] ESA 2019 Call for papers

ESA 2019 Final Call for papers
The 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms
September 9-13, 2019, Munich Germany


OVERVIEW

The European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA) is one of the premier
conferences on algorithms. It is organized in collaboration with the
European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and is a part
of ALGO 2019 (https://algo2019.ak.in.tum.de).

The symposium seeks original algorithmic contributions for problems with
relevant theoretical and/or practical applications. Papers with a strong
emphasis on the theoretical analysis of algorithms should be submitted to
Track A, while papers reporting on the results of extensive experimental
evaluations and/or providing original contributions to the engineering of
algorithms for practical applications should be submitted to Track B.

There will be a Best Student Paper Award as well as a Best Paper Award,
both sponsored by EATCS. In order for a paper to be considered for the Best
Student Paper Award, all of its authors are required to be students.


TOPICS

Papers presenting original research in all areas of algorithmic research
are sought, including but not limited to:

- Algorithm engineering
- Algorithmic aspects of networks
- Algorithmic game theory
- Approximation algorithms
- Computational biology
- Computational finance
- Computational geometry
- Combinatorial optimization
- Data compression
- Data structures
- Databases and information retrieval
- Distributed and parallel computing
- Graph algorithms
- Hierarchical memories
- Heuristics and meta-heuristics
- Mathematical programming
- Mobile computing
- Online algorithms
- Parameterized algorithms
- Pattern matching
- Quantum computing
- Randomized algorithms
- Scheduling and resource allocation problems
- Streaming algorithms


SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system.
(https://easychair.org/my/conference.cgi?conf=esa2019).

ESA 2019 proceedings will be published in the Leibniz International
Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl. The
proceedings chair is Grzegorz Herman, Jagiellonian University, Poland.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most
11 pages excluding the title page, references, and an optional appendix.
The submission should be typeset using an 11-point or larger font in a
single-column format with ample spacing throughout and 2.5cm margins all
around on A4-size or letter-size paper.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix. This
appendix can even comprise an entire full version of the paper. The
appendix will be read by the program committee members at their discretion.
The main part of the submission should therefore contain a clear technical
presentation of the merits of the paper, including a discussion of the
paper's importance within the context of prior work and a description of
the key technical and conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims.

These guidelines are strict: submissions deviating significantly from these
guidelines risk being rejected without consideration of their merits.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system.

Results previously published (or scheduled for publication) in another
conference proceedings or journal will not be accepted at ESA. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences with published proceedings, or to both
tracks of ESA 2019, is also not permitted.

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance,
at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2019 or ESA 2019, attend
the conference, and present the paper.


DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING

The conference will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses should not
appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission. Authors should
ensure that any references to their own related work is in the third person
(e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the
work of ...").

The purpose of the double-blind reviewing is to help PC members and
external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without
bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they
were to try.

Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission
or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular,
important references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition,
authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of
their paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of
their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their
research ideas. Authors with further questions on double-blind reviewing
are encouraged to contact the PC chairs.
