[DMANET] ISCO 2022, FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS, Save the date: May 16-20 2022

ISCO 2022, FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS:

ISCO (International Symposium on Combinatorial Optimization) is a
biennial symposium whose aim is to bring together researchers from all
the communities related to combinatorial optimization, including
algorithms and complexity, mathematical programming, operations
research, optimization under uncertainty, graphs and combinatorics. It
is intended to be a forum for presenting original research in these
areas and especially in their intersections. Quality papers on all
aspects of combinatorial optimization, from mathematical foundations and
theory of algorithms to computational studies and practical
applications, are solicited.

ISCO 2022 will be held online (May 18-20, 2022) and will be preceded by
a Spring School (May 16-17, 2022) which is dedicated to PhD students but
the lectures are also open to other colleagues.

Conference website: https://isco2022.sciencesconf.org/

SUBMISSIONS and PUBLICATIONS:
There are two types of submissions:
- Regular papers up to 12 pages. The post-conference proceedings will be
published by Springer (LNCS series). For an accepted paper to be
included in the proceedings, it should be presented at the conference by
one of the authors. The authors of accepted papers will have to prepare
their camera-ready version two weeks after the end of the conference.
More information about the submission procedure will be available in the
web site of the conference in due time.
- Extended abstracts up to 3 pages. Accepted abstracts will be published
online on the conference website (and will not be included in the
post-conference proceedings).

IMPORTANT DATES:
- Submission deadline: February 15, 2022 (regular papers) and March 31,
2022 (extended abstracts)
- Notifications: April 20, 2022
- Registration deadline: May 10, 2022
- Spring school: May 16-17, 2022
- Online conference: May 18-20, 2022
