[DMANET] HALG 2024 reminder for short talks + list of speakers

9th IGAFIT Highlights of Algorithms conference (HALG 2024)
Warsaw, June 3-June 5, 2024
https://highlightsofalgorithms.org/

The Highlights of Algorithms conference is a forum for presenting the highlights of recent developments in algorithms and for discussing potential further advances in this area. The conference will provide a broad picture of the latest research in algorithms through a series of invited talks, as well as the possibility for all researchers and students to present their recent results through a series of short talks and poster presentations. Attending the Highlights of Algorithms conference will also be an opportunity for networking and meeting leading researchers in algorithms.

Call For Submissions of Contributed Presentations


The IGAFIT HALG 2024 conference seeks submissions for contributed presentations. Each presentation is expected to consist of a short talk followed by a question and answer session. There will be no conference proceedings, hence presenting work already published or accepted at a different venue or journal (or to be submitted there) is welcome.

Please submit the paper by registering in the link: https://systemcoffee.pl/?lang=en&go2rej=1&kid=1536
Please choose: Participant category = "participant with abstract". No payment should be made at this time.
After registration, you can login through the link: https://systemcoffee.pl/?lang=en&go2logPanel=1&kid=1536

The abstract should include (when relevant) information where the results have been published/accepted (e.g., conference), and where they are publicly available (e.g., ArXiv). All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee, giving priority to work accepted or published in 2023 or later.

Submissions deadline: March 29th, 2024, 23:00 GMT.
Acceptance/rejection notifications for contributed presentations: April 30th, 2024.
