Final Call For Papers


Workshop on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS) 

July 30 - August 1, 2003 
Ottawa, Canada 


Submission deadline: February 20, 2003 


The Workshop, which alternates with the Scandinavian Workshop on 
Algorithm Theory, is intended as a forum for researchers in the 
area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. We 
invite submissions of papers presenting original research on the 
theory and application of algorithms and data structures in all 
areas, including combinatorics, computational geometry, databases, 
graphics, parallel and distributed computing. 

Contributors are invited to submit a full paper (not exceeding 12 
pages). Detailed submission instructions are located at 
http://www.wads.org. Submissions must arrive on or before 
Feb. 20 at 12:00 noon EST. Authors will be notified of acceptance or 
rejection by April 21, 2003. Proceedings will be published in the 
Springer Verlag series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The final 
versions of accepted papers must arrive in camera-ready form before 
May 12, 2003 to ensure the availability of the proceedings at the 
conference.  
Selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue 
of Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.  

Invited Speakers: Gilles Brassard, Daniel Spielman, Dorothea Wagner.

Special Presentation: 
Wing T. Yan (Nelligan O'Brien Payne LLP, www.nelligan.ca), 
"Protecting your intellectual property".
