Call for papers
WEPA 2020 CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear Colleagues,
We warmly invite submissions related to enumeration to WEPA 2020: Fourth Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications, December 7-10, Online, and to share this message with people interested in enumeration.
==================================
WEPA 2020 is the Fourth International Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications.
It will take place fully online from Monday, December 7 to Thursday, December 10, 2020.
Website: https://sites.google.com/view/wepa2020
==================================
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: November 8 (AoE) abstract registration, November 11 (AoE) full abstract.
Notification: November 25
Registration: December 5
Event: December 7-10
==================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
WEPA is an international forum for researchers in the area of design, analysis, experimental evaluation, and engineering of algorithms for enumeration problems. The objective of the workshop is to gather researchers working in enumeration algorithms, including their applications in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Databases. The goal is to present recent results, identify and explore directions for future research, and foster collaborations.
For this reason, along with the sessions for the presentation of established results, WEPA will feature sessions that are devoted to ideas, sketches, and open problems. This aims to put in touch senior researchers with junior researchers and graduate students to investigate problems of theoretical and practical interest. These sessions will be informal, with no scheduled presentations, and entirely devoted to the interactions among the participants. The workshop will feature some (virtual) rooms to allow space for the parallel working groups.
Submissions to WEPA should describe results in any area of enumeration problems and including, but not restricted to:
- Applications in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Databases
- Approximate enumeration and counting
- Combinatorial enumeration and counting
- Input-sensitive algorithms
- Output-sensitive algorithms
==================================
SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 2 pages (excluding references).
Both original research and discussion of published results are welcome. Submissions are to be made electronically via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wepa2020. Invited papers and accepted contributions will be invited to contribute to a special issue in a journal.
==================================
REGISTRATION
This year WEPA will be held fully online with no registration fee. However, it is mandatory to register before December 5 by sending a message to wepa2020online@gmail.com with the subject "WEPA 2020 registration". All information regarding participation will be sent to the emails used for registration.

Special Issue
Special Issue: WEPA 2020 (Fourth International Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications)
Journal: Discrete Applied Mathematics
WEPA (Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications) is a young international forum for researchers in the area of design, analysis, experimental evaluation, and engineering of algorithms for enumeration problems. The objective of the workshop is to gather researchers working in enumeration algorithms, including their applications in biology, data mining, logic, and databases. The goal is to present recent results, identify and explore directions for future research, and foster collaborations.
WEPA 2020 was held online from December 7 to December 10, 2020.
We invite participants of WEPA 2020 as well as other researchers on enumeration algorithms to contribute to this special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics.
Submissions should relate to the themes of WEPA, including but not restricted to:
- Applications in biology, data mining, logic, and databases
- Approximate enumeration and counting
- Combinatorial enumeration and counting
- Input-sensitive algorithms
- Output-sensitive algorithms
Submissions of contributions not presented at the workshop are welcome. Contributions arising from abstracts presented in the conference should be suitably extended, and should cite the conference paper where appropriate.
All articles will be thoroughly refereed according to the high standards of Discrete Applied Mathematics.
The full papers must be submitted through the Editorial Manager (https://www.editorialmanager.com/dam/default.aspx). Please see the Author Instructions on the site if you have not yet submitted a paper through this web-based system.
When submitting your paper, be sure to specify that the paper is a contribution for the Special Issue of WEPA 2020 by selecting the article type SPECIAL ISSUE: WEPA 2020, so that your paper is assigned to the guest editors.
The deadline for submission is August 31, 2021 (extended from June 30, 2021).
Accepted papers will be published online individually, before print publication.
We are looking forward to receiving your contribution.
The Guest Editors,
Alessio Conte and Benny Kimelfeld
