[TYPES/announce] ICALP 2021 Call for Papers

[Simon Gay]

==================================
ICALP 2021 - First Call for Papers
==================================

http://easyconferences.eu/icalp2021/

The 48th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and 
Programming (ICALP)
will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, on 13-16 July 2021.

ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European 
Association for
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will be preceded 
by a series
of workshops, which will take place on 12 July 2021.

COVID-19: We will monitor the global travel situation and consider 
whether the
conference will be physical, virtual or hybrid. If there is a physical 
component,
remote participation for both speakers and attendees will also be an option.



=============== Important dates =======================

Submission deadline: Friday 12 February 2021, 23:59 AoE
Notification: Wednesday 28 April 2021
Camera-ready deadline: Friday 7 May 2021

Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered.


===========================
Submissions and Proceedings
===========================


ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in
Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is a series of high-quality conference
proceedings across all fields in informatics established in cooperation 
with
Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz Center for Informatics. LIPIcs volumes are 
published
according to the principle of Open Access, i.e., they are available 
online and
free of charge.


Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12 
pages,
excluding references presenting original research on the theory of computer
science. All submissions must be formatted in the LIPIcs style
https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/)
and submitted via Easychair to the appropriate track of the conference. 
The use
of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style are mandatory: papers that deviate 
significantly
from the required format may be rejected without consideration of merit.


No prior publication and no simultaneous submission to other publication 
outlets
(either a conference or a journal) is allowed.


Technical details necessary for a proper scientific evaluation of a 
submission
must be included in the 12-page submission or in a clearly labelled 
appendix, to
be consulted at the discretion of program committee members. Authors are 
strongly
encouraged to also make full versions of their submissions freely 
accessible in
an on-line repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC.


Best Paper Awards
-----------------
As in previous editions of ICALP, there will be best paper and best 
student paper
awards for each track of the conference. In order to be eligible for a 
best student
paper award, a paper should be authored only by students and should be 
marked as
such upon submission.
