The symposium covers research in the use, design and analysis of efficient algorithms and data structures in computer science, discrete applied mathematics, operations research and mathematical programming. It has two tracks, which deal respectively with:
ESA 2006 is sponsored by EATCS (the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) and organized in the context of ALGO 2006.
Papers presenting original research in all areas of algorithmic research are sought, including but not limited to:
The algorithms may be sequential, distributed or parallel.
Submissions are especially encouraged in the areas of mathematical programming and operations research, including Combinatorial Optimization, Integer Programming, Polyhedral Combinatorics and Network Optimization.
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages. The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion.
Papers must be submitted electronically:
Authors of papers that include an experimental aspect can make supporting source code or data sets available on a webpage (referenced in the submitted paper) or send them by e-mail to esa06code@mcs.le.ac.uk; such supporting files will be considered by the program committee members at their discretion. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to contribute such supporting code or data files to the new JEA Research Code Repository.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings, or to both tracks of ESA 2006, is not permitted. A paper submitted to one track of ESA 2006 may be switched to the other track if, in the opinion of the PC chairs, the paper is better suited to the other track. Authors are expected to present their accepted papers at the conference.
ESA 2006 offers the EATCS award for the best student paper at ESA 2006. Please indicate "student paper" on the front page of the submission if all authors are students.
Accepted papers will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Each paper will receive an allotment of 12 pages in the proceedings in LNCS-style. Previous proceedings of ESA, 2001 in Aarhus, 2002 in Rome, 2003 in Budapest, 2004 in Bergen, and 2005 in Mallorca, appeared as LNCS 2161, 2461, 2832, 3221 and 3669. Previous proceedings of the precursor to the Engineering and Applications track, the Workshop on Algorithm Engineering, held in 1999 in London, 2000 in Saarbruecken and 2001 in Aarhus, appeared as LNCS 1668, 1982 and 2141.
