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 <span class="gmail-Object" id="gmail-OBJ_PREFIX_DWT108_com_zimbra_date">March 03</span>-
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.<br><br>Scope<br>------<br>The range of topics within the scope of WALCOM includes (but is not limited to):<br><br> Approximation Algorithms<br> Algorithmic Graph Theory and Combinatorics<br> Combinatorial Algorithms<br> Combinatorial Optimization<br> Computational Biology<br> Computational Complexity<br> Computational Geometry<br> Discrete Geometry<br> Data Structures<br> Experimental Algorithm Methodologies<br> Graph Algorithms<br> Graph Drawing<br> Parallel and Distributed Algorithms<br> Parameterized Algorithms<br> Parameterized Complexity<br> Network Optimization<br> Online Algorithms<br> Randomized Algorithms<br> String Algorithms<br><br>Author Instructions<br>--------------------<br>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: <span class="gmail-Object" id="gmail-OBJ_PREFIX_DWT109_com_zimbra_url"><a target="_blank" href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=walcom2018">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=walcom2018</a></span>).
Submitted papers must describe work not previously published. They must
not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed
proceedings or to a journal.<br>Proceedings<br><br>Accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Following the
tradition of the previous editions of WALCOM the proceedings will be
included in the Springer-Verlag series, Lecture Notes in Computer
Science.<br><br>Venue<br>------<br>WALCOM 2018 will be held at the Department of CSE, BUET, ECE Building, West Palasi, Dhaka.<br><br>Important Dates<br>----------------<br>Paper
