ALGO2024

ALGOWIN 2024

Scope

The 20th International Symposium on Algorithmics of Wireless Networks (ALGOWIN), previously known as ALGOSENSORS, is an international symposium dedicated to the algorithmic aspects of wireless networks. It covers algorithmic issues arising in wireless networks of all types of computational entities, mobile or static, including sensor networks, sensor-actuator networks, and autonomous robots and drones. The focus is on the design and analysis of algorithms, models of computation, graph and network algorithms, and experimental analysis.
ALGOWIN 2024 will be held at Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, United Kingdom. It will be part of ALGO 2024, which also hosts ESA, IPEC, ATMOS, ALGOCLOUD, WABI, and WAOA.

Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer “Lecture Notes in Computer Science” series after the conference (expected October 2024).

Special Issue

Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the Theoretical Computer Science journal.

Paper Submission

Papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair server (link available soon). The submissions must contain original results that have not already been published and are not concurrently submitted to a journal or conference with published proceedings. By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors will register for ALGO/ALGOWIN 2024 and present the paper.

Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the LNCS latex templates and style files (available, together with Springer’s authors’ guidelines, from https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WsdHOy5uZpg).

Each submission should consist of the main part of the paper, not exceeding 12 pages (including the title page and excluding the references), plus an optional clearly marked appendix (to be read at the discretion of the program committee). Any figure pertaining to the main part of the paper should be included therein (within the 12 page limit). The first page must include an indication of whether the paper is eligible for the best student paper award.

Instructions for Double-Blind Review

The reviewing process is double-blind, the authors’ names must not be included in the paper, and the writing of the manuscript should be done in such a way to not de-anonymize authors (e.g., instead of, our result [1], they should use, the result of [1]). We assume that reviewers do not actively try to recognize the authors. Therefore, authors are allowed to publish their results on pre-print services before or at any point of the submission/reviewing process. Non-anonymous submissions will be rejected.

Awards

Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. The awards are kindly sponsored by Springer. To be eligible for the best student paper award, at least one of the paper authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the student(s) must have made a significant contribution to the paper. The program committee may decline to make these awards or may split them. The program committee may decline to make these awards or may split them.
