                     COCOON 2004 Call for Papers
                       (preliminary version)
    The 10th Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference

                  http://tclab.kaist.ac.kr/~cocoon04/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tenth Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference,
COCOON 2004, will be held in Jeju Island, Korea, August 17-20 2004.
The conference aims to provide a forum for researchers working
in theoretical computer science. Original research papers in the areas
of algorithms, theoretical computer science and combinatorics related
to computing are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are
particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and
applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special consideration
will be given to research that is motivated by real-world problems.
Experimental and applied papers are expected to show convincingly the
usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical
setting. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:

 * Algorithms and data structures;
 * Automata, languages, logic, and computability;
 * Combinatorics related to algorithms and complexity;
 * Complexity theory;
 * Computational algebra, biology, geometry, and number theory;
 * Computational learning theory and knowledge discovery;
 * Graph drawing and information visualization;
 * Graph theory, communication networks, and optimization;
 * Parallel and distributed computing;
 * Experimental analysis of algorithms

Submissions:

COCOON 2004 will only accept electronic (PS, PDF) submissions. For
detailed instructions on submissions please check the conference web
site.

A submission should start with the title of the paper, the
author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a short abstract
summarizing the main results of the paper. This should be followed by a
scholarly exposition of the ideas, techniques, and a full description
of the results achieved. A clear indication of the motivation and
comparison with prior or related work should be presented.
The paper should not exceed 10 pages using 11 point or larger font.
Submissions that deviate significantly from these guidelines and
electronic submissions that are unprintable or formatted for paper size
other than 8.5 by 11 inch paper risk rejection without consideration of
their merits.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available
for distribution at the conference. (Final versions of the accepted papers
must be prepared using Latex and must follow the standard guidelines of LNCS.)
