[DMANET] Call For Papers: The 7th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation IPEC 2012

Call For Papers:

The 7th International Symposium on
Parameterized and Exact Computation IPEC 2012,
http://ipec2012.isoftcloud.gr/
September 12-14, 2012, Ljubljana, Slovenia

The 7th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation
(IPEC 2012) covers research in all aspects of parameterized/exact algorithms
and complexity. Papers presenting original research in the area are sought,
including but not limited to: new techniques for the design and analysis of
parameterized and exact algorithms, fixed-parameter tractability results,
parameterized complexity theory, relationship between parameterized
complexity and traditional complexity classifications, applications of
parameterized and exact computation, and implementation issues of
parameterized and exact algorithms. In particular, studies on parameterized
and exact computations for real-world applications and algorithmic
engineering
are especially encouraged.

IPEC 2012 will be part of ALGO 2012, which also hosts ESA 2012,
ALGOSENSORS 2012, WAOA 2012, ATMOS 2012, and MASSIVE 2012.
ALGO 2012 will take place September 9-14, 2012 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no longer
than 12 pages using at least 11-point font, preferably in LNCS-style,
describing
original unpublished research. Simultaneous submission to other conferences
with published proceedings is not permitted. Additional details as necessary
may be included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the program committee. Authors must submit their papers
electronically. A detailed description of the electronic submission process
is available at the symposium website. Program committee members (except
the co-chairs) are allowed to submit papers.

Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings in the
Springer
series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Authors of accepted papers are
expected to present their work at the symposium, and to incorporate the
comments from the program committee

The Program Committee may award an Excellent Student Paper Award to one or
more papers accepted to the symposium. A paper is eligible for the award
if all
authors are students at the time of submission, where a student is someone
who has not been awarded a PhD before the paper submission deadline.

Invited Speackers:

Daniel Marx (MTA SZTAKI, Hungary)
Andreas Bjorklund (Lund University)

Important Dates:

Paper Submission: June 19, 23:59 GMT
Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2012
Final manuscript due: July 29, 2012
Symposium: September 12-14, 2012
