Springer’s authors’ guidelines may be consulted at the following link: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines Each submission should consist of the main part of the paper, not exceeding 12 pages (including the title page and excluding the references), plus an optional clearly marked appendix (to be read at the discretion of the program committee). Any figure pertaining to the main part of the paper should be included therein (within the 12 page limit). The first page must include an indication of whether the paper is eligible for the best student paper award. Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwoca2021 -------------------------------------------------- INVITED SPEAKERS -------------------------------------------------- - Maria Chudnovsky, Princeton University, USA - Anna Lubiw, University of Waterloo, Canada - David Peleg, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel - Alfred Wassermann, Universität Bayreuth, Germany -------------------------------------------------- PROCEEDINGS -------------------------------------------------- Conference proceedings will be published in the ARCoSS subline of the Springer "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" series. -------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL ISSUE -------------------------------------------------- Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the Springer journal "Algorithmica", devoted to IWOCA 2021.
