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

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.

ABOUT PARSOCIAL
Computational methods to represent, model and analyze problems using social
information have come a long way in the last decade. Computational methods,
such

as social network analysis, have provided exciting insights into how social
information can be utilized to better understand social processes, and
model the

evolution of social systems over time. We have also seen a rapid
proliferation of sensor technologies, such as smartphones and medical
sensors, for

collecting a wide variety of social data, much of it in real time.
Meanwhile, the emergence of parallel architectures, in the form of
multi-core/many-core

processors, and distributed platforms, such as MapReduce, have provided new
approaches for large-scale modeling and simulation, and new tools for
analysis.

These two trends have dramatically broadened the scope of computational
social systems research, and are enabling researchers to tackle new
challenges. These

challenges include modeling of real world scenarios with dynamic and
real-time data, and formulating rigorous computational frameworks to embed
social and

behavioral theories. The 1st IEEE Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
Processing for Computational Social Systems (ParSocial) provides a platform
to bring

together interdisciplinary researchers from areas, such as computer
science, social sciences, applied mathematics and computer engineering, to
showcase

innovative research in computational social systems that leverage the
emerging trends in parallel and distributed processing, computational
modeling, and

high performance computing.

The papers selected for ParSocial will be published in the workshop
proceedings. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference
and are

submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the
conference. There are also plans to invite selected papers for publication
in a special

issue of a journal.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Areas of research interests and domains of applications include, but are
not limited to:

*Large-Scale Modeling and Simulation for Social Systems*
Social network based models
Models of social interactions (e.g. influence spread, group formation,
group stability, and social resilience)
Complex Adaptive System (CAS) models (e.g. modeling emergence in social
systems)
Models incorporating socio-cultural factors
Novel agent based social modeling and simulation
Modeling with uncertain, incomplete social data
Models using real-time social data
Representations of social and behavioral theories in computational models
Simulation methodologies for social processes including numerical and
statistical methods
Models for network dynamism
Modeling human and social elements in cyber systems (e.g. cyber-physical
systems, socio-technical systems, and network centric systems)
Social Computing Algorithms for Parallel and Distributed Platforms

*Analysis of massive social data*
Algorithms for dynamic social data
Algorithms for social network analysis
Analysis methods for incomplete, uncertain social data
Social analysis methods on parallel and distributed frameworks
Social computing for emerging architectures (e.g. cloud,
multi-core/many-core, GPU, and mobile computing architectures)

*Application*

management)
National security (e.g. political stability, counter-terrorism, and
homeland security)
Health science (e.g. disease spread models, health informatics, and health
care analytics)
Social media analytics (e.g. business analytics, political analysis, and
economic analysis)
