# SCOPE
SPIRE 2025 covers research in all aspects of string processing, information
retrieval, computational biology, and related applications. Typical topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):
- String Processing: string pattern matching, text indexing, data
structures for string processing, text compression, compressed data
structures, compressed string processing, text mining, 2D pattern
matching,
automata based string processing, combinatorics on words.
- Computational Biology: algorithms for DNA sequencing, assembly,
alignments, read error correction, metagenomics, transcriptomics, gene
and
regulatory element recognition, motif finding, pangenomics, variants
discovery, phylogenetics, genome rearrangements.
- Information Retrieval: Retrieval models and ranking. Theoretical
models and foundations of IR. Efficiency and scalability topics in IR.
Knowledge acquisition in IR. Machine Learning and Natural Language
Processing for IR. Knowledge representation and reasoning for IR.
User-centric aspects of IR. IR Evaluation. Fairness, accountability,
transparency in IR. Domain-specific IR applications. Web search.
# SUBMISSIONS
SPIRE 2025 invites submissions in two categories:
- Long papers: Up to 12 pages, excluding references and optional
appendices.
- Short papers: Up to 6 pages, excluding references and optional
appendices.
Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair via the following
link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spire2025
As in past editions, the proceedings of SPIRE 2025 will be published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The use of
LNCS templates is mandatory. Suitable templates are available at the
Springer Website and on Overleaf. Do not change the margin size or the
font, do not make a separate title page, etc.: use the LNCS style file as
given. Simultaneous submissions to other conferences with published
proceedings is not permitted.
At least one author per accepted paper is expected to register for the
conference and present the paper. The conference will be in-person, with
online presentations only in special cases (e.g., authors with travel
difficulties).
