CALL FOR PAPERS :

Submissions for contributed talks are invited for this year's workshop. The workshop emphasizes the diversity of the use of combinatorial algorithms and graph theory in application areas. Examples of such areas of interest include:


- Randomized Algorithms

- Networking

- Graph Algorithms

- Internet Congestion and Patterns

- Computational Biology

- Applied Combinatorics

- Web Applications

- Geometric Graphs and Computation

- Optimization

- Graph Theoretic Models

Please send abstracts (1-2 pages) by e-mail to GraphWorkshop2011@gmail.com by April 4, 2011. Papers that have been accepted to recent international conferences are particularly welcome, and should be indicated so in the submission.
