Call for Papers

IWPEC 2006

The 2nd International Workshop on Parameterized and Exact Computation

Zürich, Switzerland, September 13 - 15, 2006

Overview

The International Workshop on Parameterized and Exact Computation covers research in all aspects of parameterized and exact computation and complexity, including but not limited to: new techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms, parameterized complexity theory, relationship between parameterized complexity and traditional complexity classifications, applications of parameterized computation, implementation issues of parameterized algorithms, high-performance computing and fixed-parameter tractability. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions for future research.

IWPEC 2006 will be part of ALGO 2006, which also hosts ESA, WAOA, WABI, and ATMOS. ALGO 2006 will take place September 11 - 15, 2006 in Zürich, Switzerland. The proceedings of IWPEC 2006 are expected to be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Submissions

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no longer than 12 pages using at least 11-point font describing original unpublished research. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted. Additional details as necessary may be included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Instructions for electronic submissions will be posted at the conference web site. Authors unable to submit electronically should contact either of the Program Co-Chairs.
