                        FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

                              WEA 2005

                     4th International Workshop
               on Efficient and Experimental Algorithms

                     Santorini Island, Greece
                        May 10 to 13, 2005

                      http://ru1.cti.gr/wea05/

The WEA Workshops are intended to be an international forum for 
researchers in the area of design, analysis, and experimental evaluation 
and engineering of algorithms, as well as in various aspects of 
computational optimization and its applications.

The three preceding Workshops in this series were held in Riga (2001), 
Monte Verita (2003, http://www.idsia.ch/wea2003/) and Rio de Janeiro 
(2004, http://wea2004.inf.puc-rio.br/).

The WEA 2005 Workshop is sponsored by the European Association for 
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and the EU IST/FET R&D Projects FLAGS 
("Foundational Aspects of Global Computing Systems") and DELIS 
("Dynamically Evolving Large-scale Information Systems") and the Research 
Academic Computer Technology Institute (RACTI).

PROCEEDINGS AND JEA SPECIAL ISSUE

The Proceedings of WEA 2005 will be published in the Series Lecture Notes 
in Computer Science (LNCS), by Springer Verlag.

Selected papers from WEA 2005 will be considered for
a Special Issue of the ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics
(JEA, http://www.jea.acm.org/).

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished 
research and recent developments in the topics related to the Workshop. 
Simultaneous submission to conferences with published proceedings is not 
allowed. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) SINGLE-spaced pages of text, 
using at least 11 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, including 
references, figures, tables, etc. It is highly recommended to use the 
Springer LNCS LATEX style format (www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). 
Additional material may be added at a clearly marked Appendix to be read 
at the discretion of the Program Committee Members.

Authors must submit their papers electronically via EDAS 
(http://edas.info/)

All papers will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the
