ICALP 2010 Call For Papers

This is the call for papers for ICALP 2010, a pleasant conference in a nice venue, specially if you love wine, hu, good science… 😉 The website for the conference can be found here.

The 37th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), will take place from the 5th to the 12th of July 2010 in Bordeaux, France. The main conference will be preceded and followed by a series of Workshops.

Papers presenting original research on all aspects of theoretical computer science are sought. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest are:

Track A : Algorithms, Complexity and Games

• Algorithmic Game Theory
• Approximation Algorithms
• Combinatorics in Computer Science
• Computational Biology
• Computational Complexity
• Computational Geometry
• Cryptography
• Data Structures

• Machine Learning
• Parallel, Distributed and External Memory Computing
• Randomness in Computation
• Quantum Computing

Track B : Logic, Semantics, and Theory of Programming

• Algebraic and Categorical Models
• Automata Theory, Formal Languages
• Non-standard Approaches to Computability
• Databases, Semi-Structured Data and Finite Model Theory
• Principles of Programming Languages
• Logics, Formal Methods and Model Checking
• Models of Concurrent, Distributed, and Mobile Systems
• Models of Reactive, Hybrid and Stochastic Systems
• Program Analysis and Transformation

• Type Systems and Theory, Typed Calculi

Track C : Foundations of Networked Computation: Models, Algorithms and Information Management

• Algorithmic Aspects of Networks
• Auctions
• Computing with Incentives
• E-commerce, Privacy, Spam

• Overlay Networks and P2P Systems
• Social Networks
• Specification, Semantics, Synchronization of Networked Systems
• Theory of Security in Networks and Distributed Computing
• Web Searching, Ranking
• Web Mining and Analysis

Important Dates

• Deadline for Workshops Proposals: Oct. 31, 2009 (see the Call for Workshops)
• Submission Deadline: Feb 10, 2010
• Author Notification: Apr 6, 2010
• Final Manuscript Due: Apr 27, 2010

Submission Guildelines

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12 pages in LNCS style presenting original research on the theory of Computer Science. Submissions should indicate to which track (A, B, or C) the paper is submitted. No simultaneous submission to other publication outlets (either a conference or a journal) is allowed. The proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series by Springer-Verlag.

It is recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. Additional material intended for the referee but not for publication in the final version – for example details of proofs – may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.
