SCOPE

The WEA Workshops are intended to be an international forum for researchers in the area of design, analysis, and experimental evaluation and engineering of algorithms, as well as in various aspects of computational optimization and its applications. The preceding Workshops in this series were held in Riga (2001), Monte Verita (2003, www.idsia.ch/wea2003), Rio de Janeiro (2004, wea2004.inf.puc-rio.br) and Santorini (2005, ru1.cti.gr/wea05/).

PAPER SUBMISSION

Autors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper describing original, unpublished research with at most 12 pages (in LNCS style or similar -- e.g. LaTeX article style 11pt a4paper). The title page must contain a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above. The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. Submissions deviating from these guidelines risk rejection. Electronic submissions should be formatted in postscript or pdf. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.
