ABOUT IWOCA
--------------------------------------------------
Since its inception in 1989 as AWOCA (Australasian Workshop on
Combinatorial Algorithms), IWOCA has provided an annual forum for
researchers who design algorithms for the myriad combinatorial problems
that underlie computer applications in science, engineering, and business.
--------------------------------------------------

The program committee is soliciting original and significant research
contributions to the broad area of combinatorial algorithms, including (but
not limited to): Algorithms and Data Structures, Algorithmic Game Theory,
Approximation Algorithms, Complexity Theory, Combinatorics and Graph
Theory, Combinatorial Generation and Enumeration, Combinatorial
Optimization, Combinatorics of Words and Strings, Computational Geometry,
Computational Biology, Cryptography and Information Security, Graph
Algorithms, Graph Drawing and Labelling, Decompositions and Combinatorial
Designs, Distributed and Network Algorithms, Dynamic and Evolving Networks,
Mobile Agents, New Paradigms of Computation, Online Algorithms, Parallel
Algorithms, Parameterized and Exact Algorithms, Probabilistic and
Randomized Algorithms, Streaming Algorithms.

SUBMISSION
--------------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original
unpublished research in the topics related to the symposium. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is
not allowed. It is required that each accepted paper be presented at the
conference by one of its authors.
Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the
LNCS latex templates and style files. Springer's proceedings LaTeX
templates are also available on Overleaf. Springer's authors' guidelines
may be consulted at the following link:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
Each submission should consist of the main part of the paper, not exceeding
12 pages (including the title page and excluding the references), plus an
optional clearly marked appendix (to be read at the discretion of the
program committee). Any figure pertaining to the main part of the paper
should be included therein (within the 12 page limit). The first page must
include an indication of whether the paper is eligible for the best student
paper award. Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair at
the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwoca2021
