===========
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 should have taken place in Bordeaux, France. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will be held online, and the talks will
be live-streamed. All necessary technical details will be sent to the
participants after the free, but mandatory, registration.

This is an excellent opportunity for colleagues who usually cannot
attend conferences. Please feel free to distribute this call, for
example in the academic communities of developing countries.

================
INVITED SPEAKERS
================

There will be three invited talks at IWOCA 2020. The invited speakers are:

- Dan Alistarh (Institute of Science and Technology, Austria).
- Sándor Fekete (Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany).
- Tatiana Starikovskaya (École normale supérieure, Paris, France).

See https://iwoca2020.labri.fr/invited-speakers/ for more details.

===============
ACCEPTED PAPERS
===============

There will be 30 contributed talks corresponding to this year's 30
accepted papers, whose list is available at
https://iwoca2020.labri.fr/accepted-papers/.

====================
OPEN PROBLEM SESSION
====================

Continuing an established tradition of IWOCA, there will be an open
problem session. There will be a separate call for open problems by the
open problem session chairs. A list of open problems from previous
editions of IWOCA is maintained at
https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/iwoca/problems_list.html. For any question related
to the open problem session, please contact Alessio Conte (conte [at]
di.unipi.it) or Gabriele Fici (gabriele.fici [at] unipa.it).

===========================
RELATED EVENT: GRAPHMASTERS
===========================

GraphMasters is a satellite event that will take place on Thursday June
11, one day after IWOCA. It is an open workshop organized to foster
collaboration between researchers interested in graph algorithms and
problems. The spirit of the workshop is informal: (virtual) working
space is provided to the participants, who are welcome to group as they
like and seek each other's counsel and opinion. See
http://graphmasters.di.unipi.it/ for the previous editions. For any
question related to GraphMasters, please contact Alessio Conte (conte
[at] di.unipi.it).
