<br>
7-8 September 2017. Vienna, Austria<br>
=================================================================<br>
Important Dates<br>
<br>
Submission deadline: June 27, 2017<br>
Notification: July 21th, 2017<br>
Workshop: September 7-8, 2017<br>
Camera Ready: September 25, 2017<br>
<br>
=================================================================<br>
Scope<br>
<br>
Approximation and online algorithms are fundamental tools to deal
with <br>
computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is
gradually <br>
disclosed over time. Both kinds of problems arise from a large
number of <br>
applications in a variety of fields. The workshop focuses on the
design <br>
and analysis of approximation and online algorithms. It also
covers <br>
experimental methods used to design and analyze efficient
approximation <br>
and online algorithms. <br>
<br>
WAOA 2017 will be part of ALGO 2017
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://algo2017.ac.tuwien.ac.at/waoa/">https://algo2017.ac.tuwien.ac.at/waoa/</a>), <br>
which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS, ATMOS, IPEC, and
PCSS. <br>
ALGO 2017 will take place 4-8 September 2017 in Vienna, Austria.<br>
<br>
Topics<br>

approximation and <br>
online algorithms, including, but not limited to:<br>
<br>
- graph algorithms<br>
- inapproximability results<br>
- network design<br>
- packing and covering<br>
- paradigms for the design and analysis of <br>
approximation and online algorithms<br>
- parameterized complexity<br>
- scheduling problems<br>
- algorithmic game theory <br>
- algorithmic trading<br>

====================================================================<br>
Publication:<br>
<br>
Proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes
<br>
in Computer Science after the workshop takes place. Instructions
for <br>
authors can be found at Springer web site (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.springer.com/lncs">www.springer.com/lncs</a>).<br>
<br>
Submission guidelines:<br>
<br>
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper
of at <br>
most 12 pages, not including the references, describing original <br>
unpublished research. Simultaneous submission to other conferences
<br>
with published proceedings is not permitted. The title page of the
<br>
submission should include the authors' full names, addresses,
e-mail <br>
addresses, and an abstract summarizing the results in roughly
100-200 <br>
words. The remainder of the submission should contain a
description <br>
of the main results, an explanation of their importance, and a
clear <br>
comparison with related work. The submission must include full
proofs <br>
of the results. Material that cannot be included in the 12 allowed
<br>
pages can be placed in an appendix, that will be read at the sole
<br>
discretion of the program committee.<br>
<br>
Submissions should be formatted for letter-size paper with
reasonable<br>
margins and at least 11-point font. <br>
<br>
Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair
submission <br>
system at:<br>
<br>

<br>
By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of
acceptance <br>
at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2017 or WAOA
2017, <br>
attend the conference, and present the paper.<br>
