The Tenth Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference,
COCOON 2004, will be held in Jeju Island, Korea, August 17-20, 2004.
The conference aims to provide a forum for researchers working
in theoretical computer science. Original research papers in the areas
of algorithms, theoretical computer science and combinatorics related
to computing are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are
particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and
applied research of general algorithmic interest.
Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:
* Algorithms and data structures;
* Automata, languages, logic, and computability;
* Combinatorics related to algorithms and complexity;
* Complexity theory;
* Computational algebra, biology, geometry, and number theory;
* Computational learning theory and knowledge discovery;
* Graph drawing and information visualization;
* Graph theory, communication networks, and optimization;
* Parallel and distributed computing;
* Experimental analysis of algorithms
Submissions:
COCOON 2004 will only accept electronic submissions. Authors should
send a PostScript file of a paper by February 15, 2004. For detailed
instructions on submissions please check the conference web site.
A submission should start with the title of the paper, the author's name,
affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results.
This should be followed by a scholarly exposition of the ideas, techniques,
and a full description of the results achieved. A clear indication of
the motivation and comparison with prior or related work should be presented.
The paper should not exceed 10 pages on letter-size paper using
11 point or larger font.
Submissions that deviate significantly from these guidelines and
electronic submissions that are unprintable risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available
for distribution at the conference. A subset of selected papers will
be possibly invited for publication in a special issue of Theoretical
Computer Science.
