[DMANET] Second Call For Papers - LAGOS 2021

======================================================================

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

LAGOS 2021

The XI Latin and American Algorithms, Graphs and Optimization Symposium
May 17 to 21, 2021 --- Sao Paulo, Brazil

http://eventos.ufabc.edu.br/lagos2021/

======================================================================

About the conference

LAGOS 2021 will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The previous editions
were held in Fortaleza, Brazil (GRACO 2001), Santiago, Chile (LACGA
2004), Angra dos Reis, Brazil (GRACO 2005), Puerto Varas, Chile (LAGOS
2007), Gramado, Brazil (LAGOS 2009), Bariloche, Argentina (LAGOS
2011), Playa del Carmen, Mexico (LAGOS 2013), Fortaleza, Brazil (LAGOS
2015), Marseille, France (LAGOS 2017) and Belo Horizonte, Brazil
(LAGOS 2019). As in previous editions, the conference proceedings will
be published in a selected journal, Electronic Notes in Theoretical
Computer Science, and a special edition of Discrete Applied
Mathematics will be devoted to selected full papers after the
conference.


This year's edition will be very special because we will celebrate the
70th anniversary of our beloved Yoshiko Wakabayashi.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE AND TOPICS

LAGOS conference themes include, but are not limited to:

Algorithms and complexity: algorithms and computational complexity;
approximation algorithms; randomized algorithms; computational
geometry; parameterized complexity.

Operations Research and Mathematical Programming: combinatorial
optimization; integer programming; polyhedral combinatorics;
operations research and management science.

Graph Theory: cliques, dominating and independent sets; colorings;
covering and packing, factorization, matching; digraphs, tournaments;
graph algorithms; graphs and matrices; hypergraphs; perfect graphs;
random graphs; structural characterization of graph classes.

Applications to real-world problems: mathematical programming,

PROCEEDINGS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As in the last edition, the proceedings of LAGOS 2021 will be
published by Elsevier in the ENTCS - Electronic Notes in Theoretical
Computer Science series.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit original contributions in English with
eight (8) single-column letter-size pages in the Elsevier ENTCS
format. The submissions are expected to be fully self-contained. In
the case that the 8-page format is insufficient for the whole
submission, authors are encouraged to place some of the material in an
optional appendix. This appendix will not be published in the
proceedings and hence should not be referenced within the body of the
8-page paper, but it will be used to evaluate the submission.

Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference with
published proceedings, as well as the submission of previously
published papers, is not allowed. Instructions for electronic
submissions will be posted at the conference web site. At least one
author of each accepted papers must register for the conference to be
included in the program.

The submission process must be completed electronically through
EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2021).

For more information, please check the LAGOS 2021 website at
http://eventos.ufabc.edu.br/lagos2021/

Following the tradition of LAGOS, a special issue of Discrete Applied
Mathematics will be prepared for LAGOS 2021 and all interested
researchers will be invited to contribute to this special issue. If
the submission to this special issue of DAM is an extended version of
the LAGOS 2021 submission published in ENTCS, the contribution should
differ substantially from the submission published in ENTCS (e.g.,
further results, material from the optional appendix, etc., can be
added).
