CALL FOR PAPERS

			       WAE 2001

	      5th Workshop on Algorithm Engineering
      BRICS, University of Aarhus,  Denmark, August 28-30, 2001

Scope

  The Workshop on Algorithm Engineering covers research in all aspects
  of  algorithm engineering. The  goal is  to present  recent research
  results and  to identify and explore directions  of future research.
  WAE 2001 is  sponsored by BRICS and EATCS  (the European Association
  for  Theoretical Computer  Science) and  jointly organized  with ESA
  2001  and  WABI 2001  in  the context  of  ALGO  2001.  For  updated
  information see the web site www.brics.dk/wae2001.

Topics

  Papers are solicited describing  original research in all aspects of
  algorithm engineering including:

   * Implementation, experimental testing, and fine-tuning of discrete
     algorithms.
   * Development  of software repositories  and platforms  which allow
     use of and experimentation with, efficient discrete algorithms.
   * Novel uses  of discrete algorithms  in other disciplines  and the
     evaluation of algorithms for realistic environments.
   * Methodological  issues  including  standards  in the  context  of
     empirical research on algorithms and data structures.
   * Methodological  issues regarding the  process of  converting user
     requirements    into   efficient   algorithmic    solutions   and
     implementations.

Submissions

  Submissions  should  consist  of  an  extended  abstract  describing
  original research in no more than 10 pages and an optional appendix,
  with  more details  to be  read/consulted at  the discretion  of the
  program committee.   The submission  should give the  author's email
  address and fax number if available.

  Electronic  submissions are  solicited. A  standard  postscript file
  must  be  received  by 23:59  (GMT)  on  April  19, 2001,  for  your
  submission to be considered.

  In extreme cases,  contributions may be submitted by  sending 6 hard
  copies to: 

		Alberto Marchetti-Spaccamela, WAE 2001
                Dip. Informatica e Sistemistica
                Universita di Roma La Sapienza
                via Salaria 113
                00198 Roma, Italy

  Your hard copy submission must be received by April 19 in order to be
  considered. 

  Simultaneous   submission  to   other  conferences   with  published
  proceedings  is   not  allowed  with  the  only   exception  of  ESA
  2001. Authors  that submit a  paper to  both ESA  2001 and  WAE 2001
  should  i) indicate  on the  head  of the  front page  of the  paper
  "Double submission to  ESA 2001 and WAE 2001" ii)  submit it to both
  conferences. Then it is considered  in both as a regular submission,
  but will finally be accepted  for at most one.  Authors are expected
  to present their accepted papers at the workshop.

Important Dates

	    Submission deadline            April 19, 2001
