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
