CALL FOR PAPERS / SUBMISSION

 Important Dates

Submissions deadline: December 22, 2013

Notification of authors: February 6, 2014

Early registration deadline: February 15, 2014

Early Registration deadline for Spring School: February 15, 2014

Spring School: March 3 - 4, 2014

Conference: March 5 - 7, 2014

Camera ready version: April 4, 2014

 

Papers presenting original unpublished results in all areas of combinatorial optimization and its applications are welcome. There will be two types of submissions:

- Regular papers

Regular papers should have at most 12 pages, including front matter and bibliography, in LNCS style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Proofs omitted due to space constraints should be included in a clearly marked appendix which will be taken into account by the program committee members and the reviewers, but it will not be published in the proceedings. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or journals is not allowed.

Accepted regular papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series in a post-conference proceedings volume. For a paper to be included in this volume, it should be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The authors will have to prepare their camera-ready version two weeks after the end of ISCO 2014.

Regular papers  must also contain an abstract of one page to be included in the abstract booklet.

 

Papers will be submitted in Easy Chair using the following link

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isco2014

 

When submitting in Easy Chair, the abstract must be filled in a field called "abstract" (only text)

- Abstracts

They should be 1 page (including front matter) with no optional appendix. Accepted abstracts will appear in the abstract booklet.
