Important Dates

Scope

We are pleased to announce the 3rd Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND).

The objective of SAND is to provide a primary venue for the presentation and discussion of research on fundamental aspects of computing in dynamic networks. Focusing on the theory, design, analysis, and application of computing in dynamic networks, SAND seeks high-quality results characterized by a marked algorithmic aspect that shed insights on the computability landscape for dynamic environments or that can be foundational for practical and impactful systems. SAND aims at bringing together researchers from Computer Science and related areas such as Mathematics, Complex Systems, Sociology, Transportations, Robotics, Physics, and Biology to present and discuss original research at the intersection of Algorithms and Dynamic Networks and Systems.

We encourage contributions from all viewpoints, including theory and practice, addressing or being motivated by the role of dynamics in computing. We welcome both conceptual and technical contributions, as well as novel ideas and new problems that will inspire the community and facilitate the further growth of the area.

Furthermore, to foster the emergence and consolidation of our new community, the conference will feature several open problem sessions and dedicated slots for collaboration among the attendees.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Paper Submission

Papers should be submitted electronically through Easychair.

A submission must be original research and report on novel results that have not appeared or been concurrently submitted to a journal or a conference with published proceedings. Submissions must be in English in pdf format. There is no page limit and authors are encouraged to use the "full version" of their paper as the submission. However, the article should contain within the initial 12 pages a clear presentation of the merits of the paper, including a discussion of the paper's importance within the context of prior work and a description of the key technical and conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims. Submissions must be anonymous, without any author names, affiliations, or email addresses.

Instructions for Double-Blind Review

The reviewing process is double-blind, the authors' names must not be included in the paper, and the writing of the manuscript should be done in such a way to not de-anonymize authors (e.g., instead of, our result [1], they should use, the result of [1]). We assume that reviewers do not actively try to recognize the authors. Therefore, authors are allowed to publish their results on pre-print services before or at any point of the submission/reviewing process. Non-anonymous submissions will be rejected.

Publication

The conference proceedings will be published by the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs). The final version of the paper must be formatted following the LIPIcs guidelines for authors. Papers accepted in full will have 15 pages in the final proceedings (excluding references).

Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS).

For every accepted paper, at least one of the authors must fully register and present the paper during the conference and according to the conference program. Any paper accepted but not presented will be withdrawn from the final proceedings.

Awards

All papers are eligible for the best paper award. Moreover, all papers that have at least one student author, and these student authors have done significant contributions, are also eligible for the best student paper award. In case the authors think that their paper is eligible for the best student paper award, they should clearly indicate this on the first page of their submission and briefly justify.
