       13th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms - ESA 2005

=09 Hotel Torre del Mar, Ibiza, Spain, October 3-6, 2005

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE

    The Symposium covers research in the use, design and analysis of
    efficient algorithms and data structures in computer science,
    discrete applied mathematics, operations research and mathematical
    programming.  The Symposium has two tracks, which deal
    respectively with:

     * the design and mathematical analysis of algorithms
       (the "Design and Analysis" track)

     * real-world applications, engineering and experimental analysis
       of algorithms (the "Engineering and Applications" track).

    ESA 2005 is sponsored by EATCS (the European Association for
    Theoretical Computer Science) and organized in the context of ALGO
    2005.  For updated information see the ESA 2005 web site.

TOPICS

    Papers presenting original research in all area of algorithmic
    research are sought, including but not limited to algorithmic
    aspects of networks, approximation and on-line algorithms,
    computational biology, computational geometry, computational
    finance and algorithmic game theory, data structures, database and
    information retrieval, external memory algorithms, graph
    algorithms, graph drawing, machine learning, mobile computing,
    pattern matching and data compression, quantum computing,
    randomized algorithms.  The algorithms may be sequential,
    distributed or parallel.

    Submissions are especially encouraged in the area of mathematical
    programming and operations research, including combinatorial
    optimization, integer programming, polyhedral combinatorics, and
    semidefine programming.

SUBMISSIONS

    Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper
    of at most 12 pages. The paper should contain a succinct statement
    of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main
    results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible
    to non-specialist readers.  Proofs omitted due to space
    constraints must be put into an appendix to be read by the program
    committee members at their discretion.  Electronic submission is
    *highly recommended*.  Detailed information will be available on
    the ESA 2005 web site.  In case of problems with access to
    internet, it is possible to submit 6 copies of the paper to the
    program committee chair:

        (Design and Analysis Track)

    Hard copy submissions must be received by April 12 or postmarked
    no later than April 5 and sent by airmail to be considered.
    Authors are expected to present their accepted papers at the
    conference.

SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSION

    Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published
    proceedings, or to both tracks of ESA 2005, is not permitted.  A
    paper submitted to one track of ESA 2005 may be switched to the
    other track if, in the opinion of the PC chairs, the paper is
    better suited to the other track.

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD

    EATCS sponsors an award for the best student paper at ESA 2005.
    All of a paper's authors must be students for the paper to be
    considered for this award.  Please indicate "STUDENT PAPER" on the
    front page of the submission if all authors are students.

PROCEEDINGS

    Accepted papers will be published in the Springer series Lecture
    Notes in Computer Science.  Previous proceedings of ESA 2002 in
    Rome, 2003 in Budapest, and 2004 in Bergen appeared as LNCS 2461,
    2832, and 3221.  Accepted contributed papers will receive an
    allotment of 12 pages in the proceedings.
