WAOA 2016 - Deadline extended to June 23rd

14th Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms
http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/waoa/

August 25-26, 2016. Aarhus, Denmark
=================================================================
Important Dates

Submission deadline: June 23rd, 2016 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification: July 17th, 2016
Workshop: August 25-26, 2016
Camera Ready: October 16th, 2016

====================================================================
Invited Speakers:

Marek Cygan, University of Warsaw, Poland.

Ronald de Wolf, CWI and University of Amsterdam, Netherlands.

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

Scope:

Algorithms have become a fundamental tool in several fields outside of 
Computer Science,
and in several applications algorithms have to cope with computationally 
hard problems
and problems in which the input is gradually disclosed over time.
The workshop focuses on the design and analysis of approximation and 
online algorithms.

WAOA 2016 will be part of ALGO 2016 
(http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/home/),
which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS, ATMOS, IPEC, WABI and 
MASSIVE.
ALGO 2016 will take place 22-26 August 2016 in Aarhus, Denmark.

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

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

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

Proceedings will be published after the workshop takes place in the
Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Instructions for authors can be found at Springer web site 
(www.springer.com/lncs).

Submission guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at 
most 12 pages (plus additional 1-2 pages for references)
in Springer's LNCS style (please add page numbers) describing original 
unpublished research.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings 
is not permitted.
The title 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 and an explanation of 
their importance.
The submission must include a full proof of the results, part of which 
can be placed in the appendix,
whose length is not constrained.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission 
system at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2016

The WAOA proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer 
Science series by Springer-Verlag.
Each accepted paper will be allotted 12 pages (plus additional 1-2 pages 
for references) in the proceedings.

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance
at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2016 or WAOA 2016,
attend the conference, and present the paper.
