WADS2023: 18th Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium
Concordia University
Montreal, Canada, July 31-August 2, 2023

Submission deadline     February 20, 2023
Notification date       April 17, 2023

The Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, WADS, which alternates
with the Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory,
SWAT, is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and
analysis of algorithms and data structures.

WADS 2023 will take place July 31-August 2, 2023 at Concordia
University in Montreal, Canada.  CCCG 2023, the 35th Canadian
Conference on Computational Geometry, is planned for August 2-4 at the
same location.

We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on the
theory and application of algorithms and data structures in all areas
including, but not limited to: approximation algorithms, parametrized
algorithms, distributed algorithms, parallel algorithms,
external-memory algorithms, data structures, computational geometry
and topology, exponential time algorithms, online algorithms,
randomized algorithms, streaming algorithms, sub-linear algorithms.
The algorithmic problems considered may be motivated by applications,
e.g. in optimization, graph analysis, bioinformatics, visualization,
string processing, information retrieval, machine learning,
algorithmic game theory, or mechanism design.

WADS participates in SafeToC and is committed to preventing and
combatting harassment in the Theory of Computing community. The ToC
advocates for WADS are Faith Ellen and Pat Morin. Authors who submit
papers will have an opportunity to declare a conflict of interest with
potential reviewers.

WADS 2023 will have a best paper award in memory of Alejandro
Lopez-Ortiz and a best student presentation award. The paper that
receives the memorial award will be presented in a non-parallel time
slot.  The best student presentation will be chosen by a subset of the
program committee with input from session chairs.  The conference
proceedings will be published in the Springer Verlag series Lecture
Notes in Computer Science. Two special issues of papers selected from
WADS are planned for the journals Algorithmica and Computational
Geometry: Theory and Applications.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to
another journal or conference. Contributors are invited to submit a
full paper in Springer LNCS format. The title, abstract, and body of
the paper may not exceed 12 pages and the total length including
references may not exceed 14 pages. An appendix, beyond the 14 pages,
may be added and may be read at the reviewers’ discretion. Please
format your paper in the Springer Lecture Notes style available here:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Submissions will be
handled through EasyChair
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wads2023. For further
information, see the WADS 2023 website.
