topics
========================

The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working in algorithms and theory of computation. Papers presenting original research in the areas of algorithms and theory of computation are sought. Papers in relevant applied areas are also welcomed. The topics include, but are not limited to:

            Algorithmic game theory
            Algorithms and data structures
            Approximation algorithms
            Combinatorial optimization
            Computational biology
            Computational complexity
            Computational geometry
            Cryptography
            Experimental algorithms
            Graph drawing and graph algorithms
            Internet algorithms
            Online algorithms
            Parallel and distributed algorithms
            Quantum computing
            Randomized algorithms.

    Submission guidelines
    ========================

    Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages with an optional appendix. The submission should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. They must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a journal. Drafts which contain essentially the same results as papers under review in other conferences or journals cannot be submitted to ISAAC 2020. Exempted are workshops and conferences without formal proceedings, but possibly with handouts containing short abstracts. At least one author of an accepted paper is required to present the paper at the conference as a registered participant.

    Papers must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LIPIcs style file, which is available at http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/. The maximum length of the paper (including title, the list of authors, abstract, references) is 12 pages, with references and the optional appendix excluded. Use the LIPIcs style file as given; for instance, do not change the margin size or the font, or make a separate title page, or create new latex environments.

    Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix that is to be read by the program committee members at their discretion and will not be published as part of the proceedings. Thus the paper without the appendix should be able to stand on its own.

    Submissions are due on June 29, 2020 (Anywhere on Earth) . Only electronic submission will be allowed via the easychair submission server http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaac2020.

    These guidelines are strict: papers failing to adhere to the guidelines (by not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix, being more than 12 pages, or not being in LIPIcs format) will be rejected without consideration of their merits.
