[DMANET] WG 2025: Call for Papers

*Call for Papers: WG 2025, June 11-13, Europäische Akademie Otzenhausen,
Germany*

We invite authors to submit papers describing original research of
theoretical or
practical significance to the 51st International Workshop on
Graph-Theoretic Concepts
in Computer Science (WG2025). The WG2025 conference is the 51st edition
of the WG
series and will take place from June 11 to 13, 2025, with a reception on
the evening
of June 10 at Europäische Akademie Otzenhausen, Germany.

==============
Aims and Scope
==============

WG is mainly concerned with efficient algorithms of various types (e.g.,
sequential,
parallel, distributed, randomized, parameterized) for problems on graphs
and networks.
The goal is to present recent results and to identify and explore
directions for
future research. Submitted papers should describe original results in
any aspects
of graph theory related to computer science, including but not
restricted to:

- design and analysis of sequential, parallel, randomized, parameterized
algorithms
- distributed graph and network algorithms
- structural graph theory with algorithmic or complexity applications
- computational complexity of graph and network problems
- graph grammars, graph rewriting systems and graph modeling
- graph drawing and layouts
- computational geometry
- computational biology
- graph mining
- random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks
- support of the above concepts by suitable implementations and applications

===============
Important dates
===============

- Abstract submission deadline: February 14, 2025
- Paper submission deadline: February 20, 2025
- Notification of paper acceptance: April 17, 2025
- Symposium: June 11-13, 2025
- Final versions due: July 4, 2025

===========================
Submissions And Proceedings
===========================

Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 12
pages Springer
LNCS format (www.springer.com/lncs) including title and abstract, but
excluding
references. Proofs omitted due to space restrictions must be placed in
an appendix,
to be read by program committee members at their discretion. All papers
must be
original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or
conference. At least
one author of each accepted paper will be expected to register and
present the paper
in person at the conference. Accepted contributions will be published in
the conference
post-proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
of Springer-Verlag.

======
Awards
======

WG 2025 will offer awards for the best paper and the best student paper.
The awards
will be decided by the program committee. The committee can decide to
split the
awards over multiple papers, or not to offer an award. Papers eligible
for the best
student paper can have non-student co-authors, but the main work in a
paper that
is a candidate for the best student paper award must be done by
co-authors that
were students at the time of submission, and the award can be received
only by such
co-authors. It must be indicated at the time of submission whether a
paper is a
candidate for this award.
