RSFF'18: Deadline Extension
======================================================================

International workshop on
ROBUST SOLUTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTING

July 19-20, 2018, L'Aquila, Italy

http://geosafe.univaq.it

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

RSFF (Robust Solutions for Fire Fighting), is an international workshop
that intends to be a platform of exchange between researchers and
practitioners interested in emergency management, in particular bushfires.
The workshop welcomes participation of researchers from the area of
algorithms and practitioners both working on emergency management issues.

The main focus of the workshop is robustness, seen as an approach
to simplifying and securing solutions with the aim of making processes
less affected by disruptions.

The workshop is organized within the Work Package WP3 of the European
Project GEOSAFE (H2020-MSCA-RISE project n. 691161).

Registration is free for all GEOSAFE members and for authors of the
accepted papers.

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

Solicited contributions cover a variety of topics including but not limited to:



Analysis of Algorithms
Approximation Algorithms
Combinatorial Optimization
Diffusion and Propagation Models

SUBMISSION
===================

Submitting papers:

RSFF papers must be formatted according to the CEUR-WS one column style,
with a maximum length of 12 pages, including figures and references.
All proposed papers must be submitted in electronic form, in PDF format,
via the submission.geosafe@univaq.it mail.


Review process:

RSFF welcomes the submission of original research papers not published
elsewhere relevant to the topics listed in the call for papers. All
submitted papers will undergo a thorough review process.
Each contribution will be refereed by at least two experts in the field.


Publication:

Accepted papers will be included in the RSFF Proceedings published on
the CEUR-WS website. At least one of the authors will be required to
register and attend RSFF to present the paper in order to have it
included in the workshop proceedings.
