Guest post by Aleksander M\u0105dry<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This summer, on June 6-8 in Paris, we will be having a new algorithmic\u00a0event: Highlights of Algorithms 2016 (HALG 2016) conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This conference will be quite unlike the conferences we are all used to.\u00a0First of all, it will consist mainly of invited talks and tutorials,\u00a0accompanied by a smaller number of contributed talks and posters.\u00a0Secondly, there will be no conference proceedings, i.e., presenting work\u00a0already published at a different venue or journal (or to be submitted\u00a0there) is absolutely welcome and even encouraged.<\/p>\n

The call for submissions\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0of contributed\u00a0short talks and posters has been just posted online. The program\u00a0committee<\/a> is currently in\u00a0the process of selecting invited speakers (partially based on the\u00a0nominations<\/a>\u00a0from the community).<\/p>\n

We already have a number of very exciting speakers<\/a> committed\u00a0and we expect to add a few\u00a0more names shortly.<\/p>\n

The intention here is to make HALG a forum for presenting the highlights\u00a0of some of the most exciting recent developments in algorithms,\u00a0discussing potential further advances in this area, as well as\u00a0networking and initiating new collaborations. In a way, we want HALG to\u00a0be a place one can go to catch up on what are the hottest results\/topics
\nat the moment, as well as what one missed by not being able to attend\u00a0all the STOC\/FOCS\/SODA\/ESA\/ICALP\/PODC\/ITCS\/\u2026 conferences that year.<\/p>\n

We believe that this kind of venue is very much needed today and will\u00a0help to make our community stronger and more cohesive. In particular, we\u00a0hope that the success of the first edition will make HALG become a\u00a0recurring event. In fact, HALG draws some inspiration from Highlights of<\/a>\u00a0Logic, Games and Automata (HLGA)<\/a> conference series\u00a0that became very successful in its\u00a0respective community already. There are some differences in how both\u00a0conferences are constructed: HALG will concentrate on invited talks with\u00a0some contributed talks, whereas HLGA was only having short contributed\u00a0talks so far; but the overall premise is the same and seems to be\u00a0working very well. (We also heard some rumors that the next edition of\u00a0HLGA will move in the direction of HALG and have invited talks too.)<\/p>\n

In any case, the HALG 2016 in Paris should be a lot of fun. We hope to\u00a0see many of you there! So please submit your work to HALG.
\nThis year for the first time we will have a new algorithmic event taking place - Highlights of Algorithms 2016 (HALG 2016) will be in Paris, June 6-8, 2016. I actually hope that this will become a recurring event in European CS calendar. Some crazy idea for future could be to collocate it with Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata conference that inspired a lot creation of HALG. There are, however, differences in how both conferences are organized. HALG will concentrate on invited talks with some contributed talks, whereas the logic Highlights was only having short contributed talks. I heard some rumors that the next edition of Highlights of Logic, Games and Automata will move into the direction of HALG and have invited talks. Anyway, I hope you will plan to attend the event as it already seem that we will have and interesting program with many highlights of recent developments in algorithms.<\/p>\n

\n

The HALG conference has opened the registration and the program is available as well - see the links below. The program looks very interesting so I hope many of you will be coming.<\/p>\n

Highlights of Algorithms - HALG 2016
\nJune 6-8, 2016, Paris, France
\nhttp:\/\/highlightsofalgorithms.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The Highlights of Algorithms conference is designed to be a forum for presenting the highlights of recent developments in algorithms and for discussing potential further advances in this area. The conference will provide a broad picture of the latest research in algorithms through a series of survey and invited talks, as well as possibility for all researchers and students to present their recent results through a series of short talks and poster presentations. Attending the Highlights of Algorithms conference will also be an opportunity for networking and meeting leading researchers in algorithms.<\/p>\n

\n

The registration for the Highlights of Algorithms conference is open.
\nTo register, please visit the link at http:\/\/highlightsofalgorithms.org\/registration\/<\/a>. (early registration is due April 30<\/span><\/span>)<\/p>\n

A preliminary program is available online at http:\/\/highlightsofalgorithms.org\/program\/<\/a>.
\nThe program is packed with 28 invited talks and with even a larger number of short contributions.<\/p>\n

Those interested in attending the conference are advised to book accommodation as early as possible (given the high hotel prices in Paris).<\/p>\n

\nThe ESA call for papers is out: http:\/\/conferences.au.dk\/algo16\/esa\/. The submission deadline is April 21, 23:59 AoE, 2016, whereas the notifications will be send out no later than on\u00a0June 9, 2016.\u00a0I hope there will be many submissions to keep us in the PC busy during this time. Anyway, if you plan to submit something, you might read (or maybe read again) the post by Boaz Barak: http:\/\/windowsontheory.org\/2014\/02\/09\/advice-for-focs-authors\/. It contains advice on how to increase your chances that your paper gets accepted to a conference - FOCS in this case. The same applies to most conferences and \"putting the worst foot forward\" is often the hardest part. However, believe me that doing the opposite usually hurts even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
