WG 2016: SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
42nd International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science
June 22-24, Istanbul, Turkey
Submission Deadline: Feb 27, 2016
http://www.ie.boun.edu.tr/~wg2016/
LOCATION
The WG 2016 conference is the 42nd edition of the WG series. It will
take place on the campus of Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. The
conference will be from Wednesday June 22 to Friday June 24, 2016.
Participants expected to arrive in Istanbul on Tuesday June 21, where we
will have a welcome reception in the evening. Cheap student
accommodation will be available close to campus, and we will otherwise
suggest hotels in the popular Taksim area, with a metro connection to
the campus.
AIMS AND SCOPE
WG conferences aim to connect theory and applications by demonstrating
how graph-theoretic concepts can be applied in various areas of computer
science. The goal is to present recent results and to identify and
explore directions for future research. Submitted papers should describe
original results in any aspects of graph theory related to computer
science, including but not restricted to:
- design and analysis of sequential, parallel, randomized,
parameterized, and distributed graph and network algorithms,
- structural graph theory with algorithmic or complexity applications,
- computational complexity of graph and network problems,
- graph grammars, graph rewriting systems and graph modeling,
- graph drawing and layouts,
- computational geometry,
- random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks, and
- support of these concepts by suitable implementations and applications.
SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 12
pages Springer LNCS format(www.springer.com/lncs) including title,
abstract and references. Proofs omitted due to space restrictions must
be placed in an appendix, to be read by program committee members at
their discretion. Simultaneous submission of papers to any other
conference with proceedings published or made publicly available, or
submitting papers previously accepted for journal publication is not
allowed. Invited papers and accepted contributions will be published in
the conference post-proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(ARCoSS/LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag.
BEST PAPER AWARD
Thanks to a generous donation by Springer Verlag, WG 2016 is able to
offer an EUR 1000 best paper award, to be decided by the program committee.
BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
