[DMANET] ISAAC 2021 - Second Call for Papers

The 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)

https://tcs.inf.kyushu-u.ac.jp/isaac2021/



CALL FOR PAPERS



The 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)
will be held in a hybrid manner; physically in Fukuoka, Japan and also
online, on December 6--8, 2021. Authors of accepted papers are expected to
present their work at the symposium by a face-to-face talk, a live online
talk, or a pre-recorded talk. The detailed hybrid conference format will be
announced in due time.

IMPORTANT DATES

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

Paper submission due: July 5, 2021 (Anywhere on Earth)

Notification of acceptance: September 6, 2021

Camera-ready: September 30, 2021

Registration: October 29, 2021



TOPICS

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

The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working in
algorithms and theory of computation. Papers presenting original research
in the areas of algorithms and theory of computation are sought. Papers in
relevant applied areas are also welcomed. The topics include, but are not
limited to:

Algorithmic game theory

Algorithms and data structures

Approximation algorithms

Combinatorial optimization

Computational biology

Computational complexity

Computational geometry

Cryptography

Experimental algorithms

Graph drawing and graph algorithms

Internet algorithms

Online algorithms

Parallel and distributed algorithms

Quantum computing

Randomized algorithms.





SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

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

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most
12 pages with an optional appendix. The submission should contain a
scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including
motivation and a clear comparison with related work. They must not be
submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or
to a journal. Drafts which contain essentially the same results as papers
under review in other conferences or journals cannot be submitted to ISAAC
2021. Exempted are workshops and conferences without formal proceedings,
but possibly with handouts containing short abstracts. At least one author
of an accepted paper is required to present the paper at the conference as
a registered participant.



Papers must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LIPIcs style file, which is
available at
http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/.
The maximum length of the paper (including title, the list of authors,
abstract) is 12 pages, with references and the optional appendix excluded.
Use the LIPIcs style file as given; for instance, do not change the margin
size or the font, or make a separate title page, or create new latex
environments.



Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix that
is to be read by the program committee members at their discretion and will
not be published as part of the proceedings. Thus the paper without the
appendix should be able to stand on its own.



Submissions are due on July 5, 2021 (Anywhere on Earth). Only electronic
submission will be allowed via the easychair submission server
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaac2021.



These guidelines are strict: papers failing to adhere to the guidelines (by
not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix, being more than 12 pages,
or not being in LIPIcs format) will be rejected without consideration of
their merits.



AVAILABILITY OF FULL VERSIONS

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

Upon acceptance, if there is an omitted detail in the camera-ready version
for ISAAC, authors are encouraged to upload a full version of the accepted
paper to a preprint server, e.g., arXiv, ECCC, or an e-repository at
universities/institutes, so that interested readers can access the full
proofs that are omitted in ISAAC proceedings. When authors refer to omitted
proofs in ISAAC proceedings, citation to the accessible full version is
desired. However, uploading a full version is not mandatory for authors.



AWARDS

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

The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded. A paper is
eligible for the Best Student Paper if all authors are full-time students
at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is eligible,
please mark the checkbox "Eligible for best student paper" in the web form
on the submission server.



JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES

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

We plan to publish full versions of selected papers in Algorithmica and
Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications (CGTA). Authors of selected
papers will be invited to submit their manuscripts after the symposium.
