Scope<br>
<br>
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 2015 will be part of ALGO 2015, which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS, ATMOS, IPEC, and MASSIVE. ALGO 2015 will take place 14-18 September 2015 in Patras, Greece.<br>
<br>
<br>
Topics<br>
<br>
Papers are solicited in all research areas related to approximation and online algorithms, including, but not limited to:<br>
<br>
algorithmic game theory<br>
algorithmic trading<br>
coloring and partitioning<br>
competitive analysis<br>
computational advertising<br>
computational finance<br>
cuts and connectivity<br>
geometric problems<br>
graph algorithms<br>
inapproximability results<br>
mechanism design<br>
natural algorithms<br>
network design<br>
packing and covering<br>
paradigms for the design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms<br>
parameterized complexity<br>
real-world applications<br>
scheduling problems<br>
<br>
<br>
Publication<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>

Submission guidelines<br>
<br>
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages in Springer's LNCS style (please add page numbers) describing original unpublished research.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:<a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2015">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2015</a><<a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2015">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2015</a>><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; ">By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance </span>at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2015 or WAOA 2015, attend the conference, and present the paper.</p>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
