SCOPE

SEA, previously known as WEA (Workshop on Experimental Algorithms), is
an international forum for researchers in the area of experimental
evaluation and engineering of algorithms, as well as in various aspects
of computational optimization and its applications.

The main theme of the symposium is the role of experimentation and of
algorithm engineering techniques in the design and evaluation of
algorithms and data structures. Submissions should present significant
contributions supported by experimental evaluation, methodological
issues in the design and interpretation of experiments, the use of
(meta-)heuristics, or application-driven case studies that deepen the
understanding of a problemâs complexity.

Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but not
limited to:

- Algorithm Engineering
- Analysis of Algorithms
- Approximation Techniques
- Bioinformatics
- Combinatorial Structures and Graphs
- Communication Networks
- Computational Geometry
- Computational Learning Theory
- Computational Optimization
- Cryptography and Security
- Data Structures
- Distributed and Parallel Algorithms
- Experimental Techniques and Statistics
- Graph Drawing
- Information Retrieval
- Logistics and Operations Management
- Machine Learning and Data Mining
- Mathematical Programming
- Metaheuristic Methodologies
- Multiple Criteria Decision Making
- Network Analysis
- On-line Problems
- Randomized Techniques
- Robotics
- Software Repositories and Platforms

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting
original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics
related to the symposium. Simultaneous submission to other conferences
or workshops with published proceedings is not allowed. All papers will
be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the authors.

The submission system can be accessed via http://www.sea2009.org.


PROCEEDINGS

Accepted papers will appear in the SEA 2009 proceedings published by
Springer in the LNCS series.

Selected papers from SEA 2009 will be considered for a special issue of
the ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics (http://www.jea.acm.org).
