[DMANET] WAOA 2022: Deadline Extension to July 1 (AoE), 2022

============================================================
WAOA22: Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms 2022
Potsdam, Germany, September 8-9, 2022
https://algo2022.eu/waoa/
============================================================

Approximation and online algorithms are fundamental tools to deal with
computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is
gradually disclosed over time. Both kinds of problems arise from a
large number of applications in a variety of fields. The workshop
focuses on the design and analysis of approximation and online
algorithms. It also covers experimental methods used to design and
analyze efficient approximation and online algorithms. It is
co-located with ALGO 2022, which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD,
ALGOSENSORS, and ATMOS.

ALGO 2022 will take place September 5-9, 2022 in Potsdam, Germany.

=======

Paper Submission: EXTENDED to July 1, 2022 (AOE)
Notification of acceptance: July 31, 2022
Camera-ready: August 7, 2022
Conference dates: September 8-9, 2022, in Potsdam, Germany

===================
Submission Guidelines
===================

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at
most 11 pages excluding the title page, references, and an optional
appendix. The submission should be typeset using a 10-point or larger
font in a single-column format with ample spacing throughout and 2cm
margins all around on A4-size paper. Proofs omitted due to space
constraints must be placed in an appendix. This appendix can even
comprise an entire full version of the paper. The appendix will be
read by the program committee members at their discretion. In
particular, appendices of accepted papers are not going to be
published in the proceedings. The main part of the submission should
therefore contain a clear technical presentation of the merits of the
paper, including a discussion of the paper's importance within the
context of prior work and a description of the key technical and
conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims.

The conference employs a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way.
In particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses
should not appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission.
Authors should ensure that any references to their own related work is
in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but
rather "We build on the work of ..."). Nothing should be done in the
name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of
reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, references should
not be omitted or anonymized.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dwaoa22

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of
acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2022 and
present the paper. The program committee may award a Best Paper Award
to one of the accepted papers.

Proceedings
============

Proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in
Computer Science after the workshop takes place. Selected papers
presented at WAOA 2022 will be invited to a special issue of Theory of
Computing Systems.
