The 12th International Conference and Workshop on Algorithms and
Computation (WALCOM) is intended to provide an international forum for
researchers working in the areas of algorithms and computation. WALCOM 2018
will be held during March 03- 05, 2018 at Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is being
organized in cooperation with IEICE Technical Committee on Theoretical
Foundations of Computing (COMP), the Special Interest Group for ALgorithms
(SIGAL) of the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) and the EATCS
Japan Chapter.

Biology; Computational Complexity; Computational Geometry; Discrete
Geometry; Data Structures; Experimental Algorithm Methodologies; Graph
Algorithms; Graph Drawing; Parallel and Distributed Algorithms;
Parameterized Algorithms; Parameterized Complexity; Network Optimization;
Online Algorithms; Randomized Algorithms; String Algorithms.


Authors' Instructions:
=================

Authors are invited to submit papers (extended abstracts) describing
original research of theoretical or practical significance to algorithms
and computation. Papers should not exceed 12 pages in LNCS style. Papers
significantly shorter than 12 pages are also welcome. If the authors feel
that more details are essential to substantiate the main claim of the
paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the Program Committee. Only electronic submissions via
Easychair will be allowed (Link:

describe work not previously published. They must not be submitted
simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a
journal.
