ABOUT IWOCA
===========
Since its inception in 1989 as AWOCA (Australasian Workshop on
Combinatorial
Algorithms), IWOCA has provided an annual forum for researchers who
design algorithms
for the myriad combinatorial problems that underlie computer
applications in science,
engineering and business. Previous IWOCA and AWOCA meetings have been
held in Australia,
Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, India, Indonesia, Italy,
Japan, Singapore,
South Korea, UK, and USA. Previous IWOCAs can be found at
http://www.iwoca.org/
IWOCA 2020 will take place in Bordeaux, France. Bordeaux is located in
the South West of
France and is easy to reach by plane and by fast train (TGV). The
region is famous for
its wines and its gastronomy. The city centre of Bordeaux is
classified at the Unesco
World Heritage.
=====

===========
Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the "Lecture
Notes
in Computer Science" series.
=============
SPECIAL ISSUE
=============
Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of one of the main
journals
in the area of theoretical computer science (TBD), devoted to IWOCA 2020.
======
AWARDS
======
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To be
eligible for the best student paper award, at least one of the paper
authors
must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the student(s)
must have made a significant contribution to the paper. The program
committee
may decline to make these awards or may split them.
==========
SUBMISSION
==========
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original
unpublished research in the topics related to the symposium. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings
is not allowed. It is required that each accepted paper be presented at
the conference by one of its authors.
Submissions must not exceed 12 pages formatted according to LNCS
style plus an optional, clearly marked appendix of reasonable length
(to be read at the program committee's discretion). The first page
must include an indication of whether the paper is eligible for the
best student paper award.
The submission system can be accessed via https://iwoca2020.labri.fr/.
