CALL FOR PAPERS
48th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS 2007)
http://focs2007.org/cfp.html

Providence, RI
October 21-23, 2007

The 48th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS 2007), sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Mathematical Foundations of Computing, will be held in Providence, RI, October 21-23, 2007. Papers presenting new and original research on theory of computation are sought. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include: algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, cryptography, computational geometry, computational game theory, algorithmic graph theory and combinatorics, randomness in computing, parallel and distributed computing, machine learning, applications of logic, algorithmic algebra and coding theory, theoretical aspects of databases, information retrieval, networks, computational biology, robotics, and quantum computing. More information on the conference is available on the FOCS 2007 web site: http://focs2007.org

Important Dates:
 
Submission deadline:
Submissions must be received by Friday April 20, 2007 (19:59 EDT).
Notification:
Accept/reject decisions will be made by July 1, 2007.
Final versions:
Final versions of accepted papers are due August 10, 2007.

Abstract format:
Authors should submit an extended abstract (not a full paper). The submission should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. The length should not exceed ten (10) letter-sized pages (not including the bibliography and figures) using 11-point or larger font, with ample spacing and 1-inch margins all around. More details may be given in an appendix, but any material beyond the 10-page limit may be ignored at the discretion of the Program Committee. Abstracts deviating significantly from these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Abstract submission:
Authors must submit their extended abstracts electronically. The electronic submission server is at http://www.easychair.org/FOCS2007. The abstract MUST be received by 19:59 EDT, April 20, 2007. Late submissions will not be considered. Simultaneous submission of the same (or essentially the same) abstract to FOCS and to another conference with published proceedings is not allowed.

Notification:
Authors will be sent notification of acceptance or rejection by email on or before July 1, 2007. A final copy of each accepted paper is required by August 10, 2007. Again this is a firm deadline. An author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium and present the paper, or make alternative arrangements to have it presented.

Machtey award:
This prize will be given to the best paper written solely by one or more students. An abstract is eligible if all authors are full-time students at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is eligible, please add the phrase "Eligible for best student paper" as the last sentence in the "Abstract" field in the web form on the submission server. The program committee may decline to make the award, or may split it among several papers.
