[DMANET] LAGOS 2011 - First Call for Papers

--------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

LAGOS'11 - VI Latin-American Algorithms, Graphs, and Optimization
Symposium

Hotel Edelweiss, Bariloche, Argentina
April 4-8, 2011

http://www-2.dc.uba.ar/lagos2011 - lagos2011@dc.uba.ar

Celebrating 30 years from the publication of M. Groetschel, L. Lovasz,
and
A. Schrijver "The Ellipsoid Method and its Consequences in Combinatorial
Optimization" fundamental article.


LAGOS - Latin-American Algorithms, Graphs, and Optimization
Symposium, is
the union of two Latin-American Conferences on these subjects: the
GRACO -
Brazilian Symposium on Graphs, Algorithms, and Combinatorics and the
LACGA
- Latin-American Conference on Combinatorics, Graphs, and Applications.

The previous editions were held in Fortaleza, Brazil (2001), Santiago,
Chile (2004), Angra dos Reis, Brazil (2005), Puerto Varas, Chile (2007),
and Gramado, Brazil (2009). The proceedings of the accepted papers were
published in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, and special
editions of Discrete Applied Mathematics were dedicated to refereed full
papers from these events.


Organization:

- Computer Science Department, School of Natural and Exact Sciences,
University of Buenos Aires, Argentina

- Sciences Institute, National University of General Sarmiento,
Argentina

- Laboratoire d'Informatique, Paris-Nord University, France


Conference themes:

Themes include, but are not limited to, the following AMS
classification:

Algorithms: analysis of algorithms; approximation algorithms; randomized
algorithms;

Operations Research and Mathematical Programming: combinatorial
optimization; integer programming; polyhedral combinatorics; operations
research and management science;

Graph Theory: cliques, dominating and independent sets; coloring of
graphs
and hypergraphs; covering and packing, factorization, matching;
digraphs,
tournaments; graph algorithms; graphs and matrices; hypergraphs; perfect
graphs; random graphs; structural characterization of types of graphs.


Invited speakers:

- Martin Groetschel (ZIB Berlin, Technische Universitaet Berlin, and
DFG-Forschungszentrum Matheon, Germany)

- Laszlo Lovasz (U. Eoetvoes Lorand, Hungary)

- Maria Chudnovsky (Columbia University, USA)

- Guillermo Duran (UBA, Argentina and U. Chile, Chile)

- Abilio Lucena (UFRJ, Brazil)

- Martin Matamala (U. Chile, Chile)

- Gianpaolo Oriolo (U. Tor Vergata, Italy)

- Gautier Stauffer (U. Bordeaux 1, France)


Deadline for Submissions and Author Notification:

Submissions are due November 1st, 2010. Authors are invited to submit an
extended abstract in English (up to 6 pages). A special volume of the
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics will be dedicated to accepted
extended abstracts. Instructions for submission preparation may be
obtained in the ENDM web page (www.elsevier.com/locate/endm). Submission
instructions can be found at the symposium web page.

Acceptance/rejection notices will be sent to authors via e-mail by
January
31st, 2011. A special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics will be
devoted to selected full papers from the symposium upon refereeing.
