[DMANET] COCOON 2021 - Final Call for Papers

The 27th International Computing and Combinatorics Conference October
24--26, 2021, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan
https://algorithm.csie.ncku.edu.tw/conference/cocoon2021/


The 27th International Computing and Combinatorics Conference (COCOON 2021)
will be held
in National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan
during October 24-26, 2021.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Due to COVID-19, COCOON 2021 will be a hybrid conference with both online
and onsite participants.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to give an onsite talk or an online
talk. In case that the live on-line
talk is not smooth, a pre-recorded talk will be played.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Original research papers in the areas of algorithms,
theory of computation, computational complexity, and
combinatorics related to computing are solicited.
In addition to theoretical results, we are also interested in
submissions that report on experimental and applied research of general
algorithmic interest.
Special consideration will be given to research that is
motivated by real-world problems. Experimental and
applied papers are expected to show convincingly the
usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in
a practical setting. The venue of the conference will be
National Cheng Kung University.

All the papers will be published to the symposium in Springer-Verlag's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Papers of high quality will be invited to special issues of
Algorithmica, Theoretical Computer Science (TCS), Journal of Combinatorial
Optimization (JOCO),
and International Journal of Computer Mathematics: Computer Systems Theory
(IJCM:CST), respectively.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
Algorithms and Data Structures
Algorithmic Game Theory
Approximation Algorithms and Online Algorithms
Automata, Languages, Logic, and Computability
Complexity Theory
Computational Learning Theory and Knowledge Discovery
Cryptography, Reliability and Security, and Database Theory
Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
Computational Algebra, Geometry, and Number Theory
Graph Drawing and Information Visualization
Graph Theory, Communication Networks, and Optimization
Parallel and Distributed Computing
Fault Tolerant Computing and Fault Diagnosis

Camera-ready and Registration: August 31, 2021
Conference Dates: October 24-26, 2021

========================
Submission instructions:
========================
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of original research on
Computing and Combinatorics.
Submissions must contain a scholarly exposition of the ideas, techniques,
and a full description of the results achieved. A clear indication of the
motivation and
comparison with prior related work should be presented.
Simultaneous submission to a journal or another conference with refereed
proceedings is not allowed.

Submissions must adhere to the following guidelines.
Papers must be formatted using the LNCS style file without altering margins
or the font point.
The maximum length of the paper (including references, but excluding the
optional appendix) is 12 pages.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix to be
read by
the program committee members at their discretion. Papers that deviate from
these guidelines risk
being rejected without consideration of their merits. Submission is through
the EasyChair conference system.
The submission process requires registration to create an EasyChair account
prior to submission.
