[DMANET] Call for Participation: 17th Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium (WADS 2021)

WADS 2021
Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium
August 9-11, 2021

The Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, WADS, which alternates with the Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory, SWAT, is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures.

WADS participates in SafeToC http://safetoc.org and is committed to preventing and combatting harassment in the Theory of Computing community. The ToC advocates for WADS are Faith Ellen and Stephane Durocher. See the WADS web page for further details on code of conduct: https://projects.cs.dal.ca/wads2021/code-of-conduct/.

The 17th Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium (WADS 2021) will be held online on August 9-11, 2021. There will be no participation fees for the conference, but registration is required. See the WADS registration page for further details:
https://projects.cs.dal.ca/wads2021/registration/

CCCG 2021, the 33rd Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry, is planned for August 10-12. It will be collocated virtually with WADS. Thus, only one registration is required for each participant to attend both conferences.
