SCOPE
The 27th International Workshop on Randomization and Computation (RANDOM
2023) and the 26th International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms
for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX 2023) will be held in
Atlanta, USA from September 11-13, 2023.
RANDOM 2023 focuses on applications of randomness to computational and
combinatorial problems while APPROX 2023 focuses on algorithmic and
complexity theoretic issues relevant to the development of efficient
approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems.

SUBMISSION SERVERS
RANDOM: https://random2023.hotcrp.com/
APPROX: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=approx2023
Submissions must be received by 18:00 (EDT) on May 4, 2023 to be considered.
Submission Format: Submissions, in PDF, should start with the title of
the paper, followed by a 1-2 paragraph abstract summarizing the paper's
contributions. This should be followed by a technical exposition on
single-spaced, single-column pages, letter-size paper, using page
numbers, at least 1-inch margins all around, and at least 11-point font.
The first 10 pages should contain a clear presentation of the main
technical and conceptual ideas underlying the results, including the
motivation behind the paper and a clear comparison with related work
(not including the references). The submission should be accessible to a
wide variety of researchers in theoretical computer science and discrete
mathematics. There is no page limit, but any material beyond the first
10 pages will be read at the sole discretion of the program committee.
Submission PDFs should not indicate the authors' names. PC members will
still be able to access author names in the reviewing process if they
feel they need to; the intent of this procedure is to make it easier for
PC members and reviewers to avoid unconscious biases. Authors are free
(and encouraged) to post submissions on web pages, arXiv, etc.
Work that has been previously published in another conference
proceedings or journal, or which will be published before the end of the
conference, will not be considered for acceptance. Simultaneous
submission of the same (or an overlapping) paper to RANDOM/APPROX and to
another conference with published proceedings is not allowed.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the online proceedings of the
conference in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics
(LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl. This guarantees perennial,
free and easy electronic access, while the authors retain the rights
over their work.
