Leibniz International Proceedings In Informatics: LIPIcs

Dear colleagues,

Following an initiative of the conferences STACS (http://stacs-conf.org) 
and FSTTCS (http://www.fsttcs.org/), to opt for non-commercial, electronic 
proceedings, the German conference center Schloss Dagstuhl Leibniz Center 
for Informatics (LCI) has decided to establish a new series of conference 
proceedings called Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics 
(LIPIcs,http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/). The objective of 
this series is to publish the proceedings of high-quality conferences in 
all fields of computer science. An Editorial Board is being instituted to 
oversee the selection of the conferences to be included in this series. 
Its members currently are: Susanne Albers (Freiburg), Michael Mitzenmacher 
(Harvard), Madhavan Mukund (Chennai), V. Vinay (Bangalore), Wolfgang 
Thomas (Aachen), Pascal Weil (Bordeaux), Reinhard Wilhelm (Scientific 
Director, Dagstuhl). The Editorial Board will be extended upon the 
application of conferences in fields not yet represented in it.

Details about joining this series, about the services it offers and about 
the editorial process can be found on-line, 
http://www.dagstuhl.de/lipics_announce.pdf. The main features are as 
follows: The proceedings in the LIPIcs series will be published 
electronically and will be accessible freely and universally on the 
internet, keeping the copyrights with the authors, and under an open 
access license guaranteeing free dissemination. To meet the cost of 
electronic publication, a one-time fee for each proceedings volume will be 
required from the conference organizers. This fee, intended to cover the 
costs of LCI, will be kept to a minimum (presently less than 750 euros), 
thanks in particular to a sharing of the workload between LCI and the 
conference organizers.

The LCI and the LIPIcs Editorial Board wish to attract the best 
conferences in computer science. We encourage you to publicize this 
initiative amongst your colleagues, and I will be happy to answer your 
questions if you have any.

With best regards,

Pascal Weil
