The 11th Japan-Korea Joint Workshop on Algorithms and Computation

   July 19-20, 2008
   Nishijin-Plaza, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working on
algorithms and the theory of computation, to promote the exchange of recent
results, to foster new collaborations among researchers.
Historically, the workshop was established for the purpose of collaboration
of researchers of Japan and Korea; however, participation from any country
is welcome.

The workshop is organized in cooperation with the IEICE Information
and Systems Society, Technical Committee on Theoretical Foundations of
Computing (COMP), the Special Interest Group on Algorithms (SIGAL) of
the Information Processing Society of Japan, and Graduate School of
Information Science and Electrical Engineering (ISEE), Kyushu University.
 

TOPICS INCLUDE

  - Automata, languages and computability
  - Algorithms (combinatorial/graph/geometric/randomized)
  - VLSI and parallel algorithms
  - Networks and distributed algorithms
  - Learning theory and data mining
  - Number theory and cryptography
  - Graph drawing and visualization
  - Computational logic
  - Combinatorics and optimization

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of their papers (or the
full paper itself) to

   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waac2008

containing a PDF file (A4, 4-8 pages) in the format as described in
the sample LaTeX file available from

   http://tcslab.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp/waac08/waac08.tex

Deadline of the submission is May 23, 2008.
The authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by June 6, 2008.

Accepted extended abstracts and papers will be collected in a proceedings
volume that is only distributed at the conference, and we expect that
preliminary work will later be published in a more complete form
at another conference or journal.


Location of SYMPOSIUM SITE

The symposium will be held at Nishijin Plaza, which is around 10 minutes
walk from Nishijin Station of Fukuoka City Subway.
(See  http://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/university/institution-use/nishijin/infomap.
htm ).
Nishijin station is the 4th station from Tenjin station, the 7th station
from Hakata station, and the 9th station from Fukuoka-airport in the
direction
towards Meinohama (station).


REGISTRATION

 Registration information will be given in our web page later.
