ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
LAGOS (the Latin-American Algorithms, Graphs, and Optimization
Symposium), is the merging of two Latin-American Conferences on these
subjects: GRACO (Brazilian Symposium on Graphs, Algorithms, and
Combinatorics) and LACGA (Latin-American Conference on Combinatorics,
Graphs, and Applications). The previous editions were held in Fortaleza,
Brazil (GRACO 2001 [4]), Santiago, Chile (LAGCA 2004 [5]), Angra dos
Reis, Brazil (GRACO 2005 [6]), Puerto Varas, Chile (LAGOS 2007 [7]),
Gramado, Brazil (LAGOS 2009 [8]), Bariloche, Argentina (LAGOS 2011 [9]),
and Playa del Carmen, Mexico (LAGOS 2013 [10]).
IMPORTANT DATES
* Submissions deadline: NOVEMBER 10, 2014
* Notification of acceptance/rejection: FEBRUARY 03, 2015
* Registration openning: FEBRUARY 06, 2015
* Conference dates: MAY 11-15, 2015
CONFERENCE THEMES
Themes include, but are not limited to, the following AMS
classifications:
ALGORITHMS: analysis of algorithms; approximation algorithms;
randomized algorithms; computational geometry.
OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING: combinatorial
optimization; integer programming; polyhedral combinatorics; operations
research and management science.
GRAPH THEORY: cliques, dominating and independent sets; coloring of
graphs and hypergraphs; covering and packing, factorization, matching;
digraphs, tournaments; graph algorithms; graphs and matrices;
hypergraphs; perfect graphs; random graphs; structural characterization
of types of graphs.
APPLICATIONS: mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization,
continuous optimization, heuristics, and metaheuristics, applied to
real-world problems.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSIONS
EXTENDED ABSTRACTS. Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract
in English (up to 6 pages), containing original research results. The
authors are fully responsible of convincing the referees of the
correctness and interest of their results using only those six pages.
Authors can add an optional appendix with proofs, sketches of proofs, or
additional material. If included, the appendix will be read at the
discretion of the Scientific Committee and it is expected that it will
only be used to reach a decision for very unusual cases. The appendix
has no page limit, and since it will not be published, it cannot be
referenced in the extended abstract. Submission of a paper implies that
the work described has not been previously published (except in the form
of a short abstract or as part of a lecture or academic thesis), that it
is not simultaneously submitted elsewhere, and that, if accepted, it
will not be published elsewhere in the same form. A special volume of
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics (ENDM) will be dedicated to
accepted extended abstracts. The extended abstracts must comply with the
ENDM LaTeX style and are limited to 6 pages, including the front matter,
text, and references. Instructions for submission preparation may be
obtained in the ENDM web page (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/endm
[11]). Once prepared, the paper should be submitted by means of the Easy
Chair system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2015
[12]).
POSTERS. Submissions of posters on all areas related to the symposium
are also solicited. Posters must also be submitted for review in the
form of an extended abstract formatted in the ENDM style
(http://www.elsevier.com/locate/endm [13]), and must not exceed 2 pages
in length. Posters should also be submitted via the Easy Chair System
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2015 [14]). Accepted
posters will NOT appear in the ENDM special volume, but they will appear
in the symposiums booklet. Posters will be presented at the symposium in
a separate session.
Following the tradition of LAGOS, a special issue of Discrete Applied
Mathematics will be prepared after LAGOS15. All authors of accepted
papers at the symposium are invited to contribute to this special
volume. The topics should relate to the central themes of the symposium,
but are not necessarily restricted to the presentations at LAGOS15. All
articles will be refereed according to the standards of Discrete Applied
Mathematics.
