Important Dates
Submission deadline: June 25, 2008
Notification of acceptance: August 18, 2008
Camera-ready submission: September 15, 2008
Invited Speakers
Prof. Tetsuo Asano (JAIST, Japan)
Prof. Peter Eades (University of Sydney, Australia)
Paper Submission
The submission should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas,
techniques, and results, including motivation and a clear comparison
with related work. The length of the submission should not exceed twelve
pages in LNCS style. 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 submission (pdf) will be allowed.
Submitted papers must describe work not previously published. They must
not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed
proceedings or a journal. At least one of the authors of accepted
papers is expected to present their work at the conference.
Publication
The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
Special Issues
Selected papers will be invited to special issues of Algorithmica and
International Journal on Computational Geometry and Applications.
Awards
The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded.
Best Student Paperr Award
This prize will be given to the best paper written solely by one or more
students. A paper is eligible if all authors are full-time students at
the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is eligible,
please add the phrase “Eligible for best student paper” as the last
sentence in the “Abstract” field in the web form on the submission
server as well as in the paper. The program committee may decline to
make the award, or may split it among several papers.
