[DMANET] DCC '20 deadline approaching!

Dear Colleague,

It's now a little under four weeks to the submission deadline for the *IEEE
Data Compression Conference* (DCC '20), which will feature another special
session on *Computation over Compressed Data*. This session extends the
special sessions at DCC '14, '16 and '18 and we invite you to submit
interesting new results you may have both on *compact data structures* and
on *compression-aware algorithms* (i.e., those that run faster on
compressible inputs).

The session will be an opportunity for members of our community to confer
with each other and reinforce our topics' relevance to the wider field of
data compression. Selected papers from the 2014, 2016 and 2018 sessions
were invited to special issues of the *Journal of Discrete Algorithms*
(published March 2017), *Algorithmica* (published July 2018) and *Information
and Computation* (in preparation), respectively. If we again receive
enough suitable papers, we will arrange another special issue of a
comparable journal for extended versions of some of them.

Papers are due by *November 1st*, 2019 (23:59 PST) and the conference will
take place from March 24th to 27th, in Snowbird, Utah (a premier ski resort
in the Rocky Mountains). The DCC submission process (see
http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~dcc/Call.html) will allow authors to direct
their papers to the special session, but submissions will be otherwise
handled in the same way, will be subject to the same review process and, if
accepted, will be included in the same proceedings.

Best regards,
Travis Gagie and Simon Gog
(session co-chairs)
