[CPM-SPIRE-L] WCTA 2017 - 1st Call for Participation

[Giovanna Rosone]

Dear all,

The 12th Workshop on Compression, Text and Algorithms (WCTA) will be
held at Eurostars Centrale Palace in Palermo, Italy, September 29,
2017, the day after SPIRE'17.
This is an annual satellite workshop of SPIRE mostly focusing on
compression, data structures and string processing topics.

We invite an abstract for presentation (15-25 minutes) of preferably
unpublished work, published results, work in progress, surveys of
interest, open problems, etc.

Since WCTA has no proceedings, it will not preclude a possibility of
submitting presenting results to other conferences or publishing them
in journals.

We particularly encourage submissions from junior members of our 
community.

WCTA will be free for all attendees.

Please submit abstracts by emailing copies (preferably PDF) to both
WCTA co-chairs (addresses below).


Important dates
Abstract deadline: August 18th, 2017, anywhere on Earth
Notification: August 27th, 2017


WCTA will feature two invited talks on "Engineering meets Biomedicine"
by Knut Reinert from Freie Universität Berlin and "(Quasi) Succinct
Data Structures and Information Retrieval" by Sebastiano Vigna from
Università degli Studi di Milano.
