The 24th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2013) will be held in Hong Kong, December 16-18, 2013. The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working in algorithms and theory of computation. Papers presenting original research in the areas of algorithms and theory of computation are sought. Papers in relevant applied areas are also welcome. The topics include, but are not limited to:
Algorithmic game theory Computational geometry Internet algorithms
Algorithms and data structures Cryptography Online algorithms
Approximation algorithms Experimental algorithms Parallel and distributed algorithms
Combinatorial optimization Fixed-parameter tractable algorithms Quantum computing
Computational biology Graph algorithms Randomized algorithms
Computational complexity Graph drawing

Invited Speakers
Muthu Muthukrishnan, Rutgers University, USA.
Moni Naor, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.

Important Dates
Submission deadline: June 15, 2013 (23:59 Honolulu Time)
Notification date: Late August, 2013

Publication
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Selected papers will be invited to special issues of Algorithmica and International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications.

Paper Submission
The submission should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including motivation and a comparison with related work. The main text, including title, abstract, and references, should not exceed 11 pages in LNCS style. An optional appendix should be used to provide proof details that do not fit in the main text. Submitted papers must describe unpublished work. Authors should not submit papers with the same results or essentially the same results that are accepted or published or under review by a conference with refereed proceedings or a journal. Only electronic submission will be allowed and only pdf files will be accepted. It will be done via Easychair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaac2013

Awards
A Best Paper and a Best Student Paper may be awarded. A paper is eligible for the Best Student Paper Award if all authors are full-time students at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is eligible, please add the phrase "Eligible for the Best Student Paper Award" in the abstract.
