[DMANET] WEPA 2020 Final Call for Papers (Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications)

Dear Colleagues,


By observing the contributions so far we are confident that WEPA 2020 is
going to be a successful workshop, albeit being remote.
To accommodate latecomers, we are extending the paper registration deadline
to November 11th AoE (same as the final deadline).

We recall that submission should be abstracts of at most 2 pages (plus
references) detailing ongoing or published research related to enumeration.


Best Regards
Alessio Conte and Benny Kimelfeld


==================================

WEPA 2020 is the Fourth International Workshop on Enumeration Problems and
Applications.
It will take place fully online from Monday, December 7 to Thursday,
December 10, 2020.

Website: https://sites.google.com/view/wepa2020

==================================
IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: November 11 (AoE).
Notification: November 25
Registration: December 5
Event: December 7-10

==================================
AIMS AND SCOPE

WEPA is an international forum for researchers in the area of design,
analysis, experimental evaluation, and engineering of algorithms for
enumeration problems. The objective of the workshop is to gather
researchers working in enumeration algorithms, including their applications
in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Databases. The goal is to present
recent results, identify and explore directions for future research, and
foster collaborations.

For this reason, along with the sessions for the presentation of
established results, WEPA will feature sessions that are devoted to ideas,
sketches, and open problems. This aims to put in touch senior researchers
with junior researchers and graduate students to investigate problems of
theoretical and practical interest. These sessions will be informal, with
no scheduled presentations, and entirely devoted to the interactions among
the participants. The workshop will feature some (virtual) rooms to allow
space for the parallel working groups.

Submissions to WEPA should describe results in any area of enumeration
problems and including, but not restricted to:
- Applications in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Database
- Approximate enumeration and counting
- Combinatorial enumeration and counting
- Input-sensitive algorithms
- Output-sensitive algorithms

This year WEPA will be held fully online with no registration fee. However,
it is mandatory to register before December 5 by sending a message to
wepa2020online@gmail.com with the subject "WEPA 2020 registration". All
information regarding participation will be sent to the emails used for
registration.

==================================
SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 2 pages
(excluding references).
Both original research and discussion of published results are welcome.
Submissions are to be made electronically via EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wepa2020. Invited papers and
accepted contributions will be invited to contribute to a special issue in
a journal.
