ABOUT ALGOSENSORS
=================

ALGOSENSORS is an international symposium dedicated to the algorithmic
aspects of wireless networks. Originally focused on sensor networks, it
now covers algorithmic issues arising in wireless networks of all types
of computational entities, static or mobile, including sensor networks,
sensor-actuator networks, autonomous robots. The focus is on the design
and analysis of algorithms, models of computation, and experimental
analysis.

ALGOSENSORS 2021 will be held on 9-10 September 2021 in Lisbon, Portugal.
It will be part of ALGO 2021, which also hosts ALGOCLOUD, ATMOS, ESA, IPEC
and WAOA.


===============
INVITED SPEAKER
===============

There will be one invited talk at ALGOSENSORS 2021. The invited speaker is:

- Bernhard Haeupler (CMU, USA & ETHZ, Switzerland).

The invited talk will be integrated in the global ALGO program, as a joint keynote.

===========
PROCEEDINGS
===========

The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer "Lecture Notes
in Computer Science" series (publication expected October 2021).


=============
SPECIAL ISSUE
=============

Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the journal
"Theoretical Computer Science", devoted to ALGOSENSORS 2021.


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

Papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair server at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=algosensors2021. The submissions must
contain original results that have not already been published and are not
concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published proceedings.
By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least
one of the authors will register for ALGO/ALGOSENSORS 2021 and present the paper.

Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the LNCS latex
templates and style files (available, together with Springer's authors' guidelines, from
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf
(https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WsdHOy5uZpg).

Each submission should consist of the main part of the paper, not exceeding 12 pages
(including the title page and excluding the references), plus an optional clearly
marked appendix (to be read at the discretion of the program committee). Any figure
pertaining to the main part of the paper should be included therein (within the 12 page
limit). The first page must include an indication of whether the paper is eligible for
the best student paper award.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

IMPORTANT NOTE: We hope that by September it will be possible to travel to Portugal
from many parts of the world, but we also expect that it may be unsafe, difficult or
impossible for some people to attend in person. If your paper is accepted we hope it
will be possible for you to present it on location, but remote participation options
will be available, and the choice of whether to travel would be yours entirely.
