[DMANET] ESA 2024: Call for Papers

32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

https://algo-conference.org/2024/esa/

The European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA) is one of the premier
conferences on algorithms and is a part of ALGO 2024, to be held at
Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, United Kingdom.

IMPORTANT DATES: (all tracks)

- Paper submission deadline: 22 April, 23:59 AoE
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esa20240)
- Notification: 23 June
- Camera ready: 30 June
- Conference: 2-4 September

CALL FOR PAPERS:

The symposium seeks original algorithmic contributions for problems with
relevant theoretical and/or practical applications. Papers with a strong
emphasis on the theoretical analysis of algorithms should be submitted
to Track A, while papers reporting on the results of extensive
experimental evaluations and/or providing original contributions to the
engineering of algorithms for practical applications should be submitted
to Track B. Submissions that prove or explain results, possibly already
known, in a particularly clear, simple or elegant way should be
submitted to Track S. There will be a Best Student Paper Award as well
as a Best Paper Award, both sponsored by EATCS. In order for a paper to
be considered for the Best Student Paper Award, all of its authors are
required to be students at the time of submission.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS:

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system. The ESA 2024 proceedings will be published in the Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at
most 12 pages excluding the title page (consisting of title and
abstract), references, and an optional appendix. We recommend, but do
not strictly require, making your initial submission adhere to LIPIcs
publication guidelines. If not using LIPIcs style, the submission should
be typeset using a 10-point or larger font in a single-column format
with ample spacing throughout and 2cm margins all around on A4-size
paper. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an
appendix. This appendix can even comprise an entire full version of the
paper. The appendix will be read by the program committee members at
their discretion. In particular, appendices of accepted papers are not
going to be published in the proceedings. The main part of the
submission should therefore contain a clear technical presentation of
the merits of the paper, including a discussion of the paper's
importance within the context of prior work and a description of the key
technical and conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims. These
guidelines are strict: submissions deviating significantly from these
guidelines risk being rejected without consideration of their merits.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system. Results previously published (or scheduled for publication) in
another conference proceedings or journal will not be accepted at ESA.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings,
journals, or to multiple tracks of ESA 2024, is also not permitted. By
submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance,
at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2024, attend the
conference on-site and present the paper. Papers with no author
fulfilling this requirement may risk being removed from the final
conference proceedings (unless there are extenuating circumstances).

DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING:

The conference will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses should not
appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission. Authors should
ensure that any references to their own related work is in the third
person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We
build on the work of ..."). The purpose of the double-blind reviewing is
to help PC members and external reviewers come to an initial judgement
about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to
discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the
name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of
reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important references
should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors should feel
free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they
normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on
the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their research ideas.
In case there exist publicly available versions of the submission
online, the authors might mention this in their submission (without
providing references/links), and briefly explain the differences if any.
Alternatively, they might communicate the details to the chairs, who
will keep them confidential unless revealing them to the PC is needed
for a fair judgement. Authors with further questions on double-blind
reviewing are encouraged to contact the PC chairs.

When submitting a paper, please indicate Conflict of Interest (CoI) with
PC members. A CoI is limited to the following categories:

1. Family member or close friend.
2. Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or postdoc or undergraduate
mentor or mentee within the past 5 years.
3. Person with the same affiliation.
4. Involved in an alleged incident of harassment. (It is not required
that the incident be reported.)
5. Reviewer owes author a favor (e.g., recently requested a reference
letter).
6. Frequent or recent collaborator whom you believe cannot objectively
review your work.

Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the program committee
are allowed.
