Scope
We solicit high-quality papers in the broad area of combinatorial algorithms. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Algorithms and Data Structures (incl. sequential, parallel,
distributed, approximation, probabilistic, randomised, and online algorithms); Algorithms on Strings and Graphs; Applications (Bioinformatics, Music Analysis, Networking, and
others); Combinatorics on Words; Combinatorial Enumeration; Combinatorial Optimization; Complexity Theory; Computational Biology; Compression and Information Retrieval;
Cryptography and Information Security; Decompositions and
Combinatorial Designs; Discrete and Computational
Geometry; Graph Drawing and Labelling; Graph Theory.!
!
Submission
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no
more than 12 pages in LNCS style, including references. A
clearly marked Appendix can be included, which will be read
at the referees’ discretion. All submissions have to be made
via the EasyChair page for the conference. No simultaneous
submission to other conferences with published proceedings
is allowed, and submitted papers should not be under review
by a journal during the whole refereeing process. At least
one author of each accepted paper will be expected to attend
the conference and present the paper. !
!
Proceedings and Special Issue
The conference proceedings will be published after the
conference as a volume of the Springer-Verlag Lecture
Notes in Computer Science. There will be a special issue of
the journal Discrete Applied Mathematics with papers from
the conference.!
