[DMANET] Call for Contributions: Short Presentations at HALG'20

The Highlights of Algorithms (HALG) conference is designed to be 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
researchers and students to present their recent results through a
series of short talks.

This year, as a reaction to the developments around COVID-19, the
conference will exceptionally be held *virtually from August 31 to
September 2*. Participation will be free of charge.

Early-career researchers (PhD students and Postdocs) are especially
encouraged to submit *short presentations*. Each presentation will
consist of a short talk and will be part of an interactive Q&A session.
There will be no conference proceedings, hence presenting work already
published at a different venue or journal (or to be submitted there) is
welcome. Priority is given on research that has been performed, accepted
or published in 2019 or later.

The planned format consists of 3-5 min talks in virtual live session(s)
in the morning of Sep 1 and/or Sep 2, central European time. There will
be possibilities to ask questions and potentially informal discussions.

We invite submissions (including title, abstract, speaker, information
whether and where it has been published before and links to online
versions, if available) by July 31 via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=halg2020).
Acceptance/rejection notifications, including the precise format of the
sessions, will be sent out by August 15.

For questions, please contact the short presentations committee at
halg2020@easychair.org
