SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS WADS 2021 Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium August 9-11, 2021 Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada The Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, WADS, which alternates with the Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory, SWAT, 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, and parallel and distributed computing. Contributors are invited to submit a full paper in Springer LNCS format. The title, abstract, and body of the paper may not exceed 12 pages and the total length including references may not exceed 14 pages. An appendix, beyond the 14 pages, may be added and may be read at the reviewers' discretion. Please format your paper in the Springer Lecture Notes style available here: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Submissions will be handled through EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wads2021 For further information, see the WADS 2021 website https://projects.cs.dal.ca/wads2021/ WADS participates in SafeToC http://safetoc.org and is committed to preventing and combatting harassment in the Theory of Computing community. The ToC advocates for WADS are Faith Ellen and Stephane Durocher. Authors who submit papers will have an opportunity to declare a conflict of interest with potential reviewers. See the WADS web page for further details on Conflict of Interest https://projects.cs.dal.ca/wads2021/code-of-conduct/. WADS 2021 will have a best paper award in memory of Alejandro Lopez-Ortiz, and a best all-student paper award. The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer Verlag series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Two special issues of papers selected from WADS are planned for the journals Algorithmica and Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications. WADS 2021 is planned for August 9-11, 2021. The symposium will most likely be fully online. It may have an in-person component, which will be held at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. This depends on the covid-19 situation. In any case, authors of accepted papers who cannot attend in person will be able to give their talks online. CCCG 2021, the 33rd Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry, is planned for August 10-12 at the same location.
