Call for Papers


The 15th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management (AAIM 2021) will be held during December 20-22, 2021 through online conferencing tools. Interesting new results in all areas of algorithm design, operation research and combinatorial optimization and their applications are welcome. Both theoretical and experimental/applied works of general algorithmic interest are sought. Special considerations will be given to algorithmic research that is motivated by real-world applications. Experimental and applied papers are expected to show convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the target algorithms in practical settings.

The topics include, but are not limited to:

Important Dates

Paper Submission

AAIM 2021 will only accept electronic (PS or PDF) submissions via Springer Online Conference Service. Register your account at Springer OCS. Paper submission Link: Springer OCS AAIM2021 Homepage.

Only previously unpublished new results will be considered for publication. Papers that have already been published or simultaneously submitted at another journal or conference (with published proceedings) will not be considered.

A submission should start with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a one-paragraph summary of the results. This should be followed by a scholarly exposition of the ideas, techniques, and a full description of the results achieved. A clear indication of the motivation and comparison with prior or related work should be presented. The paper should not exceed 12 pages, including bibliography, formatted for letter-size paper using 10 point font, with at least one inch margins around. Authors are required to submit their papers in the Springer LNCS Format. For more information, please visit Information for LNCS Authors.

Additional details can be included in a clearly marked appendix, to be consulted at the discretion of program committee members. The appendix is not included in the page limit, and will not be published in the conference proceedings.

Submissions that deviate significantly from these guidelines or are unprintable risk rejection without consideration of their merit.

At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the conference as a registered participant.

Publication and Special Issue

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. After the conference, selected papers will be invited to a special issue of journals: Theoretical Computer Science, Journal of Combinatorial Optimization. The invited papers will go through the normal reviewing process.
