WEPA 2018 CALL FOR PAPERS

WEPA 2018: Second Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications 

November 5-8, Department of Computer Science, University of Pisa, Pisa 

Submission Deadline: Sep 3, 2018 (AoE) 

Notification: Sep 25, 2018

The WEPA 2018 conference is the Second Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications. It will take place at Department of Computer Science of University of Pisa, in Pisa (Italy). The conference will take place from Monday November 5 to Tuesday November 8, 2018.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission of papers: Sep 3, 2018 (AoE) 

Acceptance notification: Sep 25, 2018 

Registration: Oct 15, 2018 

Conference: Nov 5-8, 2018

AIMS AND SCOPE

WEPA is a new international forum for researchers in the area of design, analysis, experimental evaluation and engineering of algorithms for enumeration problems. The objective of the workshop is to gather researchers working in enumeration algorithms, including their applications in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Database. The goal is to present recent results, identify and explore directions for future research, and foster collaborations.

For this reason, along with the sessions for the presentation of established results, this year WEPA will introduce new sessions that are devoted to ideas, sketches, and open problems: hopefully this will put in touch senior researchers with junior researchers and graduate students to investigate problems of theoretical and practical interest. These new sessions will be informal, with no scheduled presentations, entirely devoted to the interactions among the participants. The workshop will be accommodated some rooms to allow space for the parallel working groups.

Submissions to WEPA should describe results in any area of enumeration problems and including, but not restricted to:

- Applications in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Database

- Approximate enumeration and counting

- Combinatorial enumeration and counting (hypergraph dualization, lattices, functional dependencies,...)

- Input-sensitive algorithms

- Output-sensitive algorithms

There is no registration fee for WEPA this year. However, it is mandatory to register before 20 October 2018 by sending a message to wepa2018nov [at] gmail.com

SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 2 pages to be submitted electronically using EasyChair at the link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wepa2018. Invited papers and accepted contributions will be invited to contribute to a special issue in a journal.
