EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize - Call for Nominations

Deadline: 15 May, 2022

The EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize for outstanding papers in the area of
multivariate algorithmics, is presented annually with the presentation
taking place at IPEC (International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact
Computation). IPEC 2022 is due to take place as part of ALGO 2022 on 5-9
September in Potsdam, Germany. The Prize is named in honor of Anil
Nerode in recognition of his major contributions to mathematical logic,
theory of automata, computability and complexity theory.


Award Committee

The winning paper(s) will be selected by the EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize
Award Committee. This year's committee consists of the following people.

Anuj Dawar, chair (University of Cambridge, anuj.dawar@cl.cam.ac.uk)

Deadline for Nominations: 15 May, 2022.

Decision: 1 July, 2022.

The Award Committee is solely responsible for the selection of the

at all.

Eligibility

Any research paper or series of research papers by a single author or by
a team of authors published in a recognized refereed journal. The
research work nominated for the award should be in the area of
multivariate algorithms and complexity meant in a broad sense, and
encompasses, but is not restricted to those areas covered by IPEC. The
Award Committee has the ultimate authority to decide on the eligibility
of a nomination. Papers authored by a member of the Award Committee are
not eligible for nomination.

Note that the past restrictions that require a certain number of years
