The Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium - WADS, which alternates with the Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory, is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on the theory and application of algorithms and data structures in all areas, including combinatorics, computational geometry, databases, graphics, parallel and distributed computing.

Contributors are invited to submit a full paper, 12 pages Springer LNCS format including title, abstract and references. An appendix, beyond the 12 pages, may be added and may be read at the reviewers' discretion. Please format your paper in the Springer Lecture Notes style according to the LNCS Author Instructions and submit it via the ONLINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM. Submissions must arrive on or before February 20, 2013 at 11:59 pm (midnight) EST. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by April 15, 2013. Proceedings will be published in the Springer Verlag series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The final versions of accepted papers must arrive in camera-ready form before May 6, 2011 to ensure the availability of the proceedings at the conference.
