                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                              ESA 2002
	     10th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms
        University of Rome "La Sapienza", 17-21 September, 2002.
				   
SCOPE

  The Symposium covers research in 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:

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

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

  ESA 2002 is sponsored by EATCS  (the European Association for Theoretical
  Computer Science) and jointly organized with WABI 2002,  APPROX 2002 and
  ARACNE 2002 in the context of ALGO 2002 (http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~algo02/).

TOPICS

  Papers presenting original research in all areas of algorithmic research
  are  sought,  including  but  not  limited  to:   Computational Biology;
  Computational Finance; Computational Geometry; Databases and Information
  Retrieval;  External-Memory  Algorithms;  Graph and Network  Algorithms;
  Graph Drawing;  Machine Learning;  Network Design;   On-line Algorithms;
  Parallel  and  Distributed   Computing;    Pattern  Matching  and   Data
  Compression;  Quantum  Computing;  Randomized  Algorithms  and  Symbolic
  Computation.  The algorithms may be sequential, distributed or parallel.

  Submissions  are  especially  encouraged  in   the areas of mathematical
  programming and operations research, including: Approximation Algorithms,
  Branch-and-Cut  Algorithms,  Combinatorial  Optimization,  Integer
  Programming,  Network  Optimization,  Polyhedral  Combinatorics and
  Semidefinite 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; procedures for electronic
  submission may be found at the following URLs.

  Design and Analysis track:

  Engineering and Applications track:

  http://sigact.csci.unt.edu/~esa2002b/ESA2002B.html

  The postscript file must be received by 23:59 Pacific Time on the 
  15th of April (06:59 GMT on the 16th of April) to be considered.  
  In case of problems with access to internet, it is possible to 
  submit 6 copies of the paper to the appropriate program committee chair.

  Hard copy submissions must be received by the 15th of April, or 
  postmarked no later than 8th of April and sent by airmail, to be
  considered.  It is expected that all accepted papers will be presented 
  at the symposium by one of the authors.

SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSION

  Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings,
  or to both tracks of ESA 2002, is not permitted.  A paper submitted to
  one track of ESA 2002 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 of EUR 500 for the best student paper at ESA 2002.
  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.

IMPORTANT DATES

      Submission deadline             April 15, 2002 (23:59 US Pacific Time)
      Notification to authors           May 31, 2002
      Final versions due               June 26, 2002
      Symposium                September 17-21, 2002

PROCEEDINGS

  Accepted papers will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in
  Computer Science. Previous proceedings of ESA, 1999 in in Prague, 2000 in
  Saarbruecken and 2001 in Aarhus, appeared as LNCS 1643, 1879 and 2161.
  Previous proceedings of the precursor to the Engineering and Applications
  track, the Workshop on Algorithm Engineering, held in 1999 in London,
  2000 in Saarbruecken and 2001 in Aarhus, appeared as LNCS 1668, 1982 and
  2141.  Accepted contributed papers will receive an allotment of 12 pages
  in the proceedings.  

  Algorithmica will publish a special issue devoted to selected papers from ESA 2002.
