CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Conference on FUN with Algorithms (FUN 2004)
Isola d'Elba, Italy, May 26-28, 2004
http://www.di.unipi.it/fun04
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"... pleasure has probably been the main goal all along.
But I hesitate to admit it,
because computer scientists want to maintain their
image as hard-working individuals
who deserve high salaries. Sooner or later society
will realise that certain kinds of hard
work are in fact admirable even though they are more
fun than just about anything else."
(D.E. Knuth)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the third conference dedicated to the use, design, and
analysis of algorithms and data structures, focusing on results that
provide amusing, witty but nonetheless original and scientifically
profound contributions to the area. The first two conferences were
held in Elba Island, and a special issue of Theoretical Computer
Science (Fun I) and of Discrete Applied Mathematics (Fun II) were
dedicated to them.
TOPICS:
FUN with biological algorithms FUN with combinatorial algorithms
FUN with compression algorithms FUN with cryptographic algorithms
FUN with distributed algorithms FUN with game algorithms
FUN with geometrical algorithms FUN with internet algorithms
FUN with mobile algorithms FUN with network algorithms
FUN with optimization algorithms FUN with robot algorithms
FUN with string algorithms FUN with....
LOCATION:
The conference will take place at Grand Hotel Elba International, in
Isola d'Elba, a famous resort for its white sand, deep blue sea, and
fascinating nature. Hotel rooms will be reserved at a special price
for the conference attendants.
CONFERENCE FORMAT:
The conference will have two tracks: Paper Track and Tutorial Track.
For the Paper Track, we solicit papers that provide amusing, original
and scientifically profound contributions to the algorithmic area. For
the Tutorial Track, we solicit brilliant surveys on novel or
revitalized algorithmic fields, with fascinating open problems.
IMPORTANT DATES:
The deadline for receiving submissions is FEBRUARY 27, 2004.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by MARCH 26, 2004.
Final copies of accepted papers due by APRIL 13, 2004.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Authors should send an extended abstract of their submitted paper (at
most 12 pages) or tutorial proposal (at most 4 pages) via electronic
mail, in Postscript or PDF format, to:
fun04@di.unipi.it
All accepted papers and tutorials are expected to be presented at the
workshop and will appear in the proceedings of the conference.
SPECIAL ISSUE:
There will be a special issue on the journal Theory of Computing
Systems (Springer Verlag) dedicated to the conference, edited by Paolo
Ferragina, Roberto Grossi, and Fabrizio Luccio.
