**********************************************
LOCATION
**********************************************

SPIRE 2017 will take place in Palermo, Italy. Palermo is a city of 
Southern Italy, the regional capital of the island of Sicily. It is located 
in the northwest of the island, right by the Gulf of Palermo in the 
Mediterranean sea. The city is noted for its history, culture, architecture 
and gastronomy. Central Palermo is well connected and has many 
transport options; there is a fast and frequent bus connection to the airport. 
Weather in Palermo at the end of September is generally warm and sunny, 
with an average daytime temperature around 25°C. 
The conference venue will be Eurostars Centrale Palace Hotel ****. 
The hotel is located just near the Quattro Canti square (at the crossing of the 
main streets of Palermo historical center: via Maqueda and via Vittorio Emanuele). 
The square is at the core of the UNESCO’s World Heritage "Arab-Norman 
Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale".

**********************************************
SCOPE
**********************************************

SPIRE 2017 covers research in all aspects of string processing, 
information retrieval, computational biology, and related applications. 
Typical topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- String Processing: string pattern matching, text indexing, data 
structures for string processing, text compression, compressed data 
structures, compressed string processing, text mining, 2D pattern 
matching, automata based string processing.

- Information Retrieval (IR): retrieval models, indexing, evaluation, 
algorithms and data structures for IR, efficient implementation of IR 
systems, interface design, text classification and clustering, text 
analysis and mining, collaborative and content-based filtering, topic 
modeling for IR, search tasks (Web search, enterprise search, desktop 
search, legal search, cross-lingual retrieval, federated search, (micro) 
blog search, XML retrieval, multimedia retrieval), digital libraries.

- Computational Biology: high-throughput DNA sequencing (assembly, read 
alignment, read error correction, metagenomics, transcriptomics, 
proteomics), evolution and phylogenetics, gene and regulatory element 
recognition, motif finding, protein structure prediction.

**********************************************
SUBMISSION
**********************************************

SPIRE 2017 invites submissions in two categories: long papers (up to 12 
pages) and short papers (up to 6 pages). The reviewing process of SPIRE 2017 
will be single-blind, i.e., each submission should carry the names of its authors.
The submission server will be EasyChair 
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spire2017 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spire2017>). 
The proceedings will be published in the LNCS series of Springer-Verlag. 
The page limits refer to the submitted version only and include references, but 
exclude an optional appendix to be read by referees at their discretion. 
If needed, extra space will be allowed for the final version.
The use of either LaTeX or Word LNCS templates is mandatory. 
Suitable templates are available at the Springer Website 
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines <https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>). 
Do not change the margin size or the font, do not make a separate title 
page, etc.: use the LNCS style file as given.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings
or journals is not permitted.

**********************************************
BEST PAPER
**********************************************

A Best Paper Award, sponsored by Springer, will be given to the author(s) of 
the most outstanding work included in the proceedings of SPIRE 2017 and 
presented at the event. 

**********************************************
WORKSHOP
**********************************************

The Workshop on Compression, Text and Algorithms (WCTA) will be held 
on September 29. The venue will be the same of SPIRE.
