12th Annual International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications

The 12th Annual International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications (COCOA 2018) will be held during December 15 - 17, 2017, in Atlanta, USA. Original research papers in the areas of combinatorial optimization and its applications are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special consideration will be given to research that is motivated by real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected to show convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical setting.
The topics include, but are not limited to:
· Algorithms and Data Structures
· Approximation Algorithms
· Operation Research
· Communication Network Optimization
· Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks
· Optimal Resource Management
· Social Networks
· Complex Network Optimization
· Computational Algebra
· Computational Geometry
· Computational Biology
· Computational Financing
· Computational Game Theory
· Computational Learning Theory
· Computational Number Theory
· Bioinformatics
· Graph Theory
· Graph Search
· Distributed Computational Systems
· Urban Transportation Networks
· Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
· Scheduling

Paper Submission
Authors are required to submit their papers in the Springer LNCS Format with 10 point font. For more information, please visit Information for LNCS Authors. Submitted papers must describe work not previously published. They must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a journal. We regard submission of drafts which contain the essentially same results from papers under review in other conferences or journals at the moment of the submission as a simultaneous submission. All submissions should be in PDF Format. Each submission can have at most 15 pages. Once the paper is accepted, the additional pages in the camera-ready version will be charged $150 per page. Questions about the submission process should be directed to Program Chairs. The submission server is now available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cocoa2018.

Publication and Special Issues
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. After the conference, the extended version of selected papers will be invited for the special issues of following journals:
· Theoretical Computer Science
· Journal of Combinatorial Optimization.
· Several Journals Pending Approval.

Awards
The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded. A paper is eligible for the Best Student Paper if all authors are full-time students at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is eligible, please add the phrase "Eligible for best student paper" as the last sentence in the "Abstract" field in the web form on the submission server

Conference announcement: FQ15 13-17 June 2022, Aubervilliers, France

 https://fq15.telecom-paris.fr/ International Conference on Finite Fields and Their Applications 2022 (Fq15) The conference  Fq15  will take place at Campus Condorcet, Aubervilliers, France (on line 12 of the Paris metro, at one station from the limit of Paris) during the week of June 13-17, 2022. Fq15  will continue the 30-year-old tradition of a forum for researchers on the mathematical aspects of finite fields and their applications.  Scientific Scope Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Theory: structure of finite fields, primitive elements, normal bases, polynomials, number-theoretic aspects of finite fields, character sums, function fields, planar functions and almost perfect nonlinear functions, equations over finite fields. Computation: algorithms and complexity, polynomial factorization, decomposition, and irreducibility testing, sequences and functions. Applications: algebraic coding theory, cryptography, algebraic geometry over finite f...

The award recognizes excellent research by fellows or associate fellows of the ICA early in their research careers.  “She is a leader in her profession, distinguishing herself in organizing conferences, mathematical outreach and teaching excellence,” said the ICA in a release. Huggan joined VIU in August 2022. She completed her PhD in 2019 at Dalhousie University and was a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada post-doctoral fellow at Toronto Metropolitan University from 2019 to 2021. She was an Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences post-doctoral fellow at Mount Allison University from 2021 to 2022. Huggan’s research examines pursuit-evasion game...
