Computer Science
and Applications (DIMATIA) of Charles University.

CONTACT:

The organizing committee can be contacted at: michael.drmota@tuwien.ac.at
For up to date information consult the conference web site:
http://www.dmg.tuwien.ac.at/eurocomb2017/

INVITED SPEAKERS:

Ten outstanding researchers in the field will be invited to give plenary
lectures.

SUBMISSIONS

Submission should have: A title, a list of authors with affiliations,
and a brief abstract
(up to 5 pages in A4) describing recent original theoretical results or
applications of
Combinatorics and Graph Theory. They should be submitted as a pdf-file
using the interface provided at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurocomb2017
by March 15th, 2017.


FULL PAPERS/POSTERS

Submission can be accepted either as a full paper or as poster. An
author for each accepted paper (as full or poster)
is required to register at the conference (at academic/speaker rate).
Authors of full papers will deliver a 20 min presentation of their results.
Authors of posters will deliver a 5 min presentation of their results
and participate in a poster session.

PROCEEDINGS

A proceedings book will be edited. The proceedings will include full
papers (5 pages limit) and poster papers (1 page limit).

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

It is planned to publish a special issue in a Combinatorics Journal that
will be devoted to selected papers contributed to the conference.
The usual high standards of the journals will be applied through a
strict and thorough refereeing process.

EUROPEAN PRIZE IN COMBINATORICS

Continuing with the tradition established at EuroComb'03 in Prague the
European Prize in Combinatorics
will be awarded during the conference EuroComb 2017. The prize is
established to recognize excellent
contributions in Combinatorics, Discrete Mathematics and their
Applications by young European researchers
(eligibility of EU) not older than 35. The prize carries a monetary
award of 2500 Euro.
The nomination letter including CV and the list of publications of the
nominee must be sent
to the organizers of EUROCOMB'17 before April 15, 2017. The nominations
will be evaluated by an
international jury. The award of 2500 EURO for 2017 is founded with
contributions
of DIMATIA, local organizers and Elsevier B.V.


Looking forward to see you in Vienna.
