===== Scope =====

The 20th International Symposium on Algorithmics of Wireless Networks
(ALGOWIN, previously known as ALGOSENSORS) is an international
symposium dedicated to the algorithmic aspects of wireless networks.
It covers algorithmic issues arising in wireless networks of all types
of computational entities, mobile or static, including sensor
networks, sensor-actuator networks, and autonomous robots and drones.
The focus is on the design and analysis of algorithms, models of
computation, graph and network algorithms, and experimental analysis.

ALGOWIN 2024 will be held at Royal Holloway, University of London in
Egham, United Kingdom. It will be part of ALGO 2024, which also hosts
ESA, IPEC, ATMOS, ALGOCLOUD, WABI, and WAOA.

===========
Proceedings
===========
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer "Lecture Notes
in Computer Science" series after the conference (expected October 2024).

===========
Special Issue
===========
Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the Theoretical Computer Science journal.

================
Paper Submission
================
Papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair server. The
submissions must contain original results that have not already been
published and are not concurrently submitted to a journal or conference
with published proceedings. By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge
that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors will register for
ALGO/ALGOWIN 2024 and present the paper.

Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the
LNCS latex templates and style files (available, together with Springer's
authors' guidelines, from
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf (
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WsdHOy5uZpg
).

Each submission should consist of the main part of the paper, not exceeding
12 pages (including the title page and excluding the references), plus an
optional clearly marked appendix (to be read at the discretion of the
program committee). Any figure pertaining to the main part of the paper
should be included therein (within the 12 page limit). The first page must
include an indication of whether the paper is eligible for the best student
paper award. Submissions must be anonymous, without any author names,
affiliations, or email addresses.


======================================
Instructions for Double-Blind Review
======================================

The reviewing process is double-blind, the authors’ names must not be
included in the paper, and the writing of the manuscript should be
done in such a way to not de-anonymize authors (e.g., instead of, our
result [1], they should use, the result of [1]). We assume that
reviewers do not actively try to recognize the authors. Therefore,
authors are allowed to publish their results on pre-print services
before or at any point of the submission/reviewing process.
Non-anonymous submissions will be rejected.

=======
Awards
=======
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. The
awards are kindly sponsored by Springer. To be eligible for the best
student paper award, at least one of the paper authors must be a full-time
student at the time of submission, and the student(s) must have made a
significant contribution to the paper. The program committee may decline to
make these awards or may split them.
