[DMANET] ISCO 2022: NEW DEADLINE

ISCO 2022, NEW DEADLINE:

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) given by Giacomo Nannicini on
"Mathematical Optimization and Quantum Algorithms" *which is dedicated
to PhD students but the lectures are also open to other colleagues.

PLENARY SPEAKERS:
    Jon Lee, University of Michigan, USA
    Petra Mutzel, Bonn University, Germany
    Rekha R. Thomas, University of Washington, USA
    Rico Zenklusen, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

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

SUBMISSIONS and PUBLICATIONS:
There are two types of submissions:
- Regular papers up to 12 pages (*NEW Submission deadline*: March 6,
2022!): 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.  Appendices are
allowed only if they fit within the 12 page limit. Submissions not
following these guidelines will not be considered. It is allowed to put
full versions of the submitted papers in an on-line repository. Each
paper will be reviewed by two to three members of the Program Committee.
The main acceptance criteria are the quality and originality of the
results, and their relevance for the community.
- 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).
