ICALP 2016
http://www.easyconferences.eu/icalp2016/

The 43rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming
(ICALP) will take place in Rome, Italy, on July 11-15, 2016.

ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association
for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will be preceded
by a series of workshops, which will take place on July 11.

Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered.

Proceedings
-----------

ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in
Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is a series of high-quality conference
proceedings across all fields in informatics established in cooperation
with Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz Center for Informatics. LIPIcs volumes are
published according to the principle of Open Access, i.e., they are
available online and free of charge.

Submission Guidelines
--------------------

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12
pages, excluding references, in the LIPIcs style (
http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/)
presenting original research on the theory of Computer Science. The usage
of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style file (see
http://11011110.livejournal.com/300115.html for some formatting tricks) are
mandatory: papers that deviate significantly from the required format may
be rejected without consideration of merit.

All submissions will be electronic via EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icalp2016

Submissions should be made to the appropriate track of the conference. No
prior publication or simultaneous submission to other publication outlets
(either a conference or a journal) is allowed.

All the technical details necessary for a proper scientific evaluation of a
submission must be included in the 12-page submission or in a
clearly-labelled appendix, to be consulted at the discretion of program
committee members.

Should I submit my paper to Track A or Track C?
------------------------------------------------

While the scope of Tracks A and B are generally well understood given their
long history, the situation for Track C may be less obvious. In particular,
some clarifications may be helpful regarding areas of potential overlap,
especially between Tracks A and C.

The aim for Track C is to be the leading venue for theory papers truly
motivated by networking applications, and/or proposing theoretical results
relevant to real networking, certified analytically, but not necessarily
tested practically. The motivation for the track was the lack of good
venues for theory papers motivated by applications in networking. On the
one hand, the good networking conferences typically ask for extended
experiments and/or simulations, while the TCS community is hardly able to
do such experiments or simulations. On the other hand, the good conferences
on algorithms tend to judge a paper based only on its technical difficulty
and on its significance from an algorithmic perspective, which may not be
the same as when judging the paper from the perspective of impact on
networks.

Several areas of algorithmic study of interest to track C have a broad
overlap with track A. Graph algorithmics can belong in either, though if
the work is not linked to networking, it is more appropriate in track A.
Algorithmic game theory is another area of major overlap. Aspects involving
complexity, the computation of equilibria and approximations, belong more
in Track A, while results with applications in auctions, networks and some
aspects of mechanism design belong in Track C.

Finally, it should be noted that algorithms and complexity of
message-passing based distributed computing belong squarely in track C,
while certain other aspects of distributed computing do not fall under its
scope.

Best Paper Awards
-----------------

As in previous editions of ICALP, there will be best paper and best student
paper awards for each track of the conference. In order to be eligible for
a best student paper award, a paper should be authored only by students and
should be marked as such upon submission.

*** MIXED INTEGER PROGRAMMING WORKSHOP: FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT ***

We are pleased to announce that the 2016 workshop in Mixed Integer
Programming (MIP 2016) will be held May 23rd-26th at the University of
Miami, in Coral Gables, FL. The 2016 Mixed Integer Programming workshop
will be the thirteenth in a series of annual workshops held in North
America designed to bring the integer programming community together to
discuss very recent developments in the field. The workshop consists of a
single track of invited talks and features a poster session that provides
an additional opportunity to share and discuss recent research in MIP.
Registration details, a list of confirmed speakers, a call for
participation in the poster session, and information about student travel
awards will be made in a subsequent announcement. Please see the workshop
website at https://sites.google.com/site/mipworkshop2016/ for updates.
