The 14th Annual International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications (COCOA'20)

December 11th-13th 2020 -Dallas, Texas

Scope & Topics

The 14th Annual International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications (COCOA 2020) will be held during December 11-13, 2020 in Dallas, Texas, USA. Original research papers in the areas of combinatorial optimization and its applications 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.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

• affective computing
• Algorithms and Data Structures
• Approximation Algorithms
• Operation Research
• Optimal Resource Management
• Social Networks
• Computational Geometry
• Computational Financing
• Bioinformatics
• Graph Theory
• Graph Search

Paper Submission

The submission should contain scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including the motivation and a clear comparison with related work. The length of the submission should not exceed fifteen pages in LNCS style. Submitted papers must describe work not previously published. They must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference with refereed proceedings or to journals. We regard the following case as a simultaneous submission. Submission of drafts which contain the essentially same results from papers under review in other conferences or journals at the moment of the submission. Only electronic submission will be allowed via the Springer Online Conference System.The submission website is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cocoa2020.
