WAOA 2018 - Call for Papers

16th Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms

23-24 August 2018
Helsinki, Finland

http://algo2018.hiit.fi/waoa/

=================================================================
Important Dates

Submission deadline: June 24, 2018 (AOE)
Notification: July 23, 2018 (AOE)
Workshop: August 23-24, 2018
Camera Ready: September 17, 2018 (AOE)

Keynote Speaker:
Gerhard Woeginger, RWTH Aachen

=================================================================

Scope
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.

WAOA 2018 will be part of ALGO 2018 (http://algo2018.hiit.fi/),
which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS, ATMOS, IPEC, and WABI.
ALGO 2018 will take place 20-24 August 2018 in Helsinki, Finland.

Topics
Papers are solicited in all research areas related to approximation and
online algorithms, including, but not limited to:

- graph algorithms
- inapproximability results
- network design
- packing and covering
- paradigms for the design and analysis of
approximation and online algorithms
- parameterized complexity
- scheduling problems
- algorithmic game theory
- algorithmic trading
- coloring and partitioning
- competitive analysis
- computational advertising
- computational finance
- cuts and connectivity
- geometric problems
- mechanism design
- resource augmentation
- real-world applications

====================================================================
Publication:

Proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes
in Computer Science after the workshop takes place.

Selected papers presented at WAOA 2018 will be invited to a journal
special issue.

Submission guidelines:
----------------------

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at
most 12 pages, not including the references, describing original
unpublished research. Simultaneous submission to other conferences
with published proceedings is not permitted. The first page of the
submission should include the authors' full names, addresses, e-mail
addresses, and an abstract summarizing the results in roughly 100-200
words. The remainder of the submission should contain a description
of the main results, an explanation of their importance, and a clear
comparison with related work. The submission must include full proofs
of the results. Material that cannot be included in the 12 allowed
pages can be placed in an appendix, that will be read at the sole
discretion of the program committee.

Submissions should be formatted for letter-size paper with reasonable
margins, page numbers, and at least 11-point font. Submitted papers
are not required to be in LNCS style.

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

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2018

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance
at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2018 or WAOA 2018,
attend the conference, and present the paper.

The program committee may award a Best Paper Award to one of the
accepted papers.
