Dear Colleague,
Full paper submission deadline is extended to 15th March 2017 *31st March,
2017*.

*Please distribute it to interested colleagues and students *

*IWOCA 2017*

*28th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms*

*17 – 21 July 2017, Newcastle, Australia*

The series of IWOCA conferences grew out of over 25 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, South Korea, UK, and the US.

 This is a very special IWOCA, dedicated to the memory of *Professor Mirka
Miller*. Mirka was one of the founders of AWOCA and has attended many
gatherings of this workshop since its initiation in 1988. Mirka has been an
active member of the IWOCA Steering Committee since its inception in
2006.  Mirka
was diagnosed with gastro-oesophageal cancer in 2015 and died of this
disease on 2nd January, 2016. This particular IWOCA gathering is as much
about celebrating the life and work of this wonderful person as it is in
continuing her legacy, of which IWOCA is just one aspect.

*Submission*

Authors are invited to submit a paper not exceeding 12 single-spaced pages,
including references, figures, title, authors, affiliations, e-mail
addresses, and a short (one paragraph) abstract. The authors are strongly
advised to use the LaTeX style file supplied by Springer Verlag for Lecture
Notes in Computer Science here
<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0>. 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=iwoca2017

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unpublished work and surveys of important results.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 of each accepted paper will be expected to attend the conference
and present the paper.

*Best Student Paper* *Award*

European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) will award a
prize to the author(s) of the best student paper. To be eligible for this
award, all the authors of the paper have to be students at the time of
submission. *Authors who wish their paper to be considered for the Best
Student Paper Award should inform the chairs of their eligibility via email
by the paper submission deadline.  *

*Open Problem* *Session*

In IWOCA tradition, we will hold an open problems session at IWOCA2017.  If
you have an open problem that would like to share with other conference
participants or wider IWOCA community, *please email to the open problems
chair Gabriele Fici (gabriele.fici at unipa.it <gabriele.fici at unipa.it>).*
