Submissions

Papers presenting original unpublished results in all areas of combinatorial optimization and its applications are welcome.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 and short papers. All accepted regular and short papers must be presented at the conference, and will be given an equal amount of time.

All papers should be submitted electronically following the instructions on this page and by following this link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isco20160

 

Regular papers

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 latex camera-ready version within two weeks after the end of ISCO 2016.

Regular papers cannot exceed 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 may be included in a clearly marked appendix which will be taken into account by the program committee members and the reviewers, but they will not be published in the post-conference proceedings volume. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or journals is not allowed.

The authors are required to use the submission form available at the address https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isco20160 to:

  • Upload the pdf file of the 12-page regular paper in LNCS style http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html on the easychair platform.
  • Paste in the Abstract textbox a 1-page abstract (maximum 3000 characters, including spaces) to be included in the abstracts booklet which will be distributed during the conference. At most 4 references can be included. Mathematical formulas can be included in LaTeX notation.

 

 

 

Short papers

Submitted short papers should not exceed one page (maximum 3000 characters, including spaces). At most 4 references can be included. Mathematical formulas can be included in LaTeX notation. Accepted papers should be presented at the conference by one of the authors.

To submit a short paper, please go to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isco20160 and paste the text in the Abstract textbox of the submission form.

Accepted short papers will appear in the abstracts booklet which will be distributed during the conference.
