Call for Papers - WALCOM 2015

International Workshop on Algorithms and Computation (WALCOM) is intended to provide an international forum for researchers working in the areas of algorithms and computation. WALCOM 2015 will be held during February 26- 28, 2015 at Dhaka, Bangladesh. WALCOM 2015 is being organized in cooperation with IEICE Technical Committee on Theoretical Foundations of Computing (COMP) and the Special Interest Group for ALgorithms (SIGAL) of the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ).

SCOPE
The range of topics within the scope of the workshop of algorithms and computation includes (but is not limited to):

Approximation Algorithms
Algorithmic Graph Theory and Combinatorics
Combinatorial Algorithms
Combinatorial Optimization
Computational Biology
Computational Complexity
Computational Geometry
Discrete Geometry
Data Structures
Experimental Algorithm Methodologies
Graph Algorithms
Graph Drawing
Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
Parameterized Complexity
Network Optimization
Online Algorithms
Randomized Algorithms
String Algorithms

AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS
Authors are invited to submit papers (extended abstracts) describing original research of theoretical or practical significance to algorithms and computation. Papers should not exceed 12 pages in LNCS style. Papers significantly shorter than 12 pages are also welcome. If the authors feel that more details are essential to substantiate the main claim of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Only electronic submission will be allowed. Submitted papers must describe work not previously published. They must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a journal.

PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Following the tradition of the previous editions of WALCOM, it is expected that the proceedings will be included in the Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (www.springer.com/lncs).

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
Special issues dedicated to WALCOM 2015 will be published at the Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications and the Journal of Discrete Algorithms.

VENUE
The workshop will be held at the Training Center, Atomic Energy Research Establish, at Savar, Dhaka. The workshop will be jointly organized by Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission and Bangladesh Academy of Sciences.
