ESCAPE 2007 Call For Papers
April 7-9, 2007, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China
|
With the Internet, bio-technology, video digital data processing,
as well as global geometric data applications, the enormous dataset size
has been pushing our limits in data processing. Both theoreticians and Practitioners
are challenged to an extent that has never seen before. A growing pressure
has been put on different experts, such as Computer Scientists, Combinatorics
Experts, and Statisticians, dealing with their own large data processing
problems, to reach out beyond their own disciplines, to search for ideas,
methodologies, and tool boxes, to find better, faster and more accurate solutions.
|
The program topics include but are not limited to:
| All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and
evaluated on the quality, originality, soundness, and significance of their
contributions. Application and position papers presenting novel ideas, issues,
challenges and directions are all welcome. As post-proceedings all accepted
papers presented at the symposium will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) (www.springer.com/lncs) of Springer Publications. To maximize
quality of publications, authors of accepted papers shall have the opportunity
to revise their papers in the light of the feedback they would receive upon
presentation of their works at the conference. Authors should submit an extended abstract. The extended abstract should start with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and email address, followed by a brief (one or two paragraphs) summary of the results to be presented. This should then be followed by a technical exposition of the main ideas and techniques used to achieve these results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. The abstract should not exceed 12 single-spaced pages (including bibliography) on A4-size paper (210 mm x 297 mm) and should be in single-column format. If the authors believe that more details are essential to substantiate the main claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Only electronic submissions are acceptable. A detailed description of the electronic submission process is available at http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/zgc/escape/Paper_Submission.htm Presentation of Accepted Papers: One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present it at the conference. A brief (one or two paragraphs) summary of the results of all accepted papers will be available to participants of the symposium. Please note that only those accepted papers that are presented at the Symposium will be published in LNCS. |
Of accepted papers, four will be selected by the Award Panel as finalists for the Best Paper Award. Authors of the four selected papers will be invited (one author of each paper is free of registration fees) to give presentations in a special plenary session, in which the Best Paper will be identified to win the Prize, as well as a cash award of USD 1000.
