    AIMS AND SCOPE
    
    
    The series of IWOCA conferences grew out of over 30 years history of the 
    International (since 2007) respectively Australasian (until 2006) 
    Workshops on Combinatorial Algorithms. Previous IWOCA and AWOCA meetings 
    have been held in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, 
    Indonesia, India, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, UK, and USA.
    
    Link to previous IWOCAs web pages can be found at

    SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
    
    
    We solicit high-quality proceedings papers in the broad area of 
    combinatorial algorithms.
    
    The topics include (but are not restricted to):
    
    
    Algorithms and Data Structures
    
    Complexity Theory
    
    Graph Theory & Combinatorics
    
    Combinatorial Optimization
    
    Cryptography & Information Security
    
    Algorithms on Strings & Graphs
    
    Graph Drawing & Labelling
    
    Computational Algebra & Geometry
    
    Computational Biology
    
    Algorithms for Big Data and Networks Analytics
    
    Probabilistic & Randomised Algorithms
    
    New Paradigms of Computation
    
    
    Proceedings papers cannot exceed 12 single-spaced pages, including 
    references, figures, title, authors, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and 
    a short (one paragraph) abstract. The authors are required to use the 
    LaTeX style file supplied by Springer Verlag for Lecture Notes in 
    Computer Science. Final proceedings papers must be camera-ready in this 
    format. A clearly marked Appendix, which will not count toward the 12 
    page submission limit, can be included and will be read at the referees' 
    discretion.
    
    
    All submissions have to be made via the EasyChair submission page for 
    the conference 
    
    
    Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously 
    unpublished work and surveys of important results. At the time the paper 
    is submitted to IWOCA, and for the entire review period, the
    
    paper (or essentially the same paper) should not be under review by any 
    other conference with published proceedings or by a scientific journal. 
    At least one author per each accepted paper will have
    
    to attend the conference and present the paper.
    
    Proceedings will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer 
    Science (LNCS) and made available at the Conference. Authors of selected 
    papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a 
    special issue of a journal.
