AIMS AND SCOPE

The series of IWOCA conferences grew out of over 30 years history of the International (since 2007) respectively Australasian (until 2006) Workshops on Combinatorial Algorithms. Previous IWOCA and AWOCA meetings have been held in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Indonesia, India, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, UK, and USA. Link to previous IWOCAs web pages can be found at https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/iwoca/previous.html

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We solicit high-quality proceedings papers in the broad area of combinatorial algorithms. The topics include (but are not restricted to):

Algorithms and Data Structures, Complexity Theory, Graph Theory & Combinatorics, Combinatorial Optimization, Cryptography & Information Security, Algorithms on Strings & Graphs, Graph Drawing & Labelling, Computational Algebra & Geometry, Computational Biology, Algorithms for Big Data and Networks Analytics, Probabilistic & Randomised Algorithms, New Paradigms of Computation

Proceedings papers cannot exceed 12 single-spaced pages, including references, figures, title, authors, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and a short (one paragraph) abstract. The authors are required to use the LaTeX style file supplied by Springer Verlag for Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Final proceedings papers must be camera-ready in this format. A clearly marked Appendix, which will not count toward the 12 page submission limit, can be included and will be read at the referees’ discretion.

All submissions have to be made via the EasyChair submission page for the conference at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwoca2019

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work and surveys of important results. At the time the paper is submitted to IWOCA, and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the same paper) should not be under review by any other conference with published proceedings or by a scientific journal. At least one author per each accepted paper will have to attend the conference and present the paper. Proceedings will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and made available at the Conference. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of a journal.
