STOC 2015 Call for Workshops and Tutorials

I've had two week from hell with proposal deadlines, paper deadlines, faculty candidates and ever-more demanding hungry cries of the baby chickadees  meetings with my students.

Thankfully, all that is now in the past and I can sally forth to the next deadline. Which is, you ask ?

STOC 2015 will have a workshops and tutorials day on Sunday June 14, the day before the conference starts. +Sanjeev Khanna and +Chandra Chekuri are running the event, and they want your proposals.

We invite groups of interested researchers to submit workshop or tutorial proposals. The goal of a workshop is to provide an informal forum for researchers to discuss important research questions, directions, and challenges. Connections between theoretical computer science and other areas, topics that are not well represented at STOC, and open problems are encouraged as workshop topics. Organizers are completely free to choose their workshop formats (invited speakers, panel discussions, etc.). The program for June 14th may also involve tutorials, each consisting of 1-2 survey talks on a particular area, and we welcome tutorial proposals as well.

Deadline for submissions is Mar 15, 2015. For more details on the format etc, visit the workshops/tutorials page. 

MAD ALGOrithms

It's time for some large data sets ! Once again, MADALGO is organizing MASSIVE, the workshop on massive data algorithmics. As usual, it will be colocated with SoCG in Paris (actually the day after, on the 16th of June). In case you haven't noticed, big-data is all the rage now !

Deadline is Apr 27, so get those 10 page submissions in, and see you in Paris !
