[DMANET] CFP: "Graph Algorithms" special issue of Algorithms

CALL FOR PAPERS:
"Graph Algorithms" -- A special issue of Algorithms (ISSN 1999-4893)

This special issue of Algorithms is devoted to the design and analysis
of algorithms for solving combinatorial problems of a theoretical or
practical nature involving graphs, with a focus on computational
complexity.
Because of their simplicity and generality, graphs have been used for a
long time in many different areas of science and engineering, e.g., to
describe how objects such as the atoms of a molecule are connected or to
express various types of constraints such as precedence constraints in a
complex manufacturing process.
More recently, graphs have found new applications in emerging research
fields like social network analysis, the design of robust computer
network topologies, frequency allocation in wireless networks, and
bioinformatics (i.e., to represent metabolic pathways, protein-protein
interactions, evolutionary relationships, or other kinds of structured
biological information).
The amount of data in such applications can be enormous, and therefore,
the resulting graphs may be huge, which motivates further development of
fast and space-efficient algorithms in the near future for solving
various (old and new) graph problems exactly or approximately.
We hereby invite papers presenting original research on graph algorithms
to this special issue and hope to receive many high-quality submissions.

Dr. Jesper Jansson, Kyoto University
