[DMANET] WG 2021: First Call for Papers

==== 47th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer
Science, WG 2021 ====

The WG 2021 conference is the 47th edition of the WG series and will take
place from Wednesday 23rd June to Friday 25th June 2021. Depending on the
pandemic situation, the event will be organized at Old Library of
University of Warsaw in Poland or as an online conference. Some hybrid form
is also possible and even if the conference takes place in Warsaw, it will
be possible to give an online talk and participate online. The final
decision about the form of the conference will be announced in February
2021, before the submission deadline.

== IMPORTANT DATES ==

Submission of papers: 3 March 2021
Acceptance notification: TBA (late April 2021)
Conference: 23-25 June 2021
Final version: TBA (middle of July 2021)

== AIMS AND SCOPE ==

WG conferences aim to connect theory and applications by demonstrating how
graph-theoretic concepts can be applied in various areas of computer
science. The goal is to present recent results and to identify and explore
directions for future research. Submitted papers should describe original
results in any aspects of graph theory related to computer science,
including but not restricted to:
- design and analysis of sequential, parallel, randomized, parameterized,
and distributed graph and network algorithms,
- structural graph theory with algorithmic or complexity applications,
- computational complexity of graph and network problems,
- graph grammars, graph rewriting systems and graph modelling,
- graph drawing and layouts,
- computational geometry,
- computational biology,
- random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks, and support
of these concepts by suitable implementations and applications.

== SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS ==

Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 12 pages
Springer LNCS format including title, abstract, and references, without
changes to the settings of margins and vertical spacing, and with numbered
pages. To submissions with more than one page of references a bound of 11
LNCS-pages applies, including title and abstract, but excluding references.
Proofs omitted due to space restrictions must be placed in an appendix, to
be read by program committee members at their discretion. Simultaneous
submission of papers to any other conference with proceedings published or
made publicly available, or submitting papers previously accepted for
journal publication is not allowed. Accepted contributions will be
published in the conference proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag.

Please submit your paper using EasyChair:

== BEST PAPER AND BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD ==

Thanks to the support of Springer Verlag, WG 2021 is able to offer awards
of 500 Euro for the best paper and the best student paper. The awards will
be decided by the program committee. The committee can decide to split the
awards over multiple papers, or not to offer an award. Papers eligible for
the best student paper can have non-student co-authors, but the main work
in a paper that is a candidate for the best student paper award must be
done by co-authors that were students at the time of submission, and the
award can be received only by such co-authors. It must be indicated at the
time of submission whether a paper is a candidate for this award.

== CONTACT ==
