Unfortunately, given the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Organizing Committee and the Technical Programa Chairs of ALGO 2021 were forced to run the meetings fully online, using a specialised platform. Instructions for authors and attendees on how to participate in the virtual meeting will be provided shortly..
ALGOSENSORS is an international symposium dedicated to the algorithmic
aspects of wireless networks. Originally focused on sensor networks, it
now covers algorithmic issues arising in wireless networks of all types
of computational entities, static or mobile, including sensor networks,
sensor-actuator networks, autonomous robots. The focus is on the design
and analysis of algorithms, models of computation, and experimental
analysis.
ALGOSENSORS 2021 will be held on 9-10 September 2021 in Lisbon, Portugal.
It will be part of ALGO 2021, which also hosts ALGOCLOUD, ATMOS,
ESA, IPEC and WAOA.
Original research contributions are solicited related to diverse algorithmic aspects of sensor networks, wireless networks as well as distributed robotics, including the theoretical, experimental and application perspectives.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" series (publication expected October 2021).
Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of the journal "Theoretical Computer Science", devoted to ALGOSENSORS 2021.
Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To be eligible for the best student paper award, at least one of the paper authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the student(s) must have made a significant contribution to the paper. The program committee may decline to make these awards or may split them.
Papers are to be submitted electronically using the EasyChair server at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=algosensors2021.
The submissions must contain original
results that have not already been published and are not concurrently submitted to a journal or
conference with published proceedings. By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that in case
of acceptance at least one of the authors will register for ALGO/ALGOSENSORS 2021 and present the
paper.
Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the LNCS latex templates and
style files (available, together with Springer's authors' guidelines, from
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Springer's
proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf
(https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WsdHOy5uZpg).
Each submission should consist of the main part of the paper, not exceeding 12 pages (including the
title page and excluding the references), plus an optional clearly marked appendix (to be read at
the discretion of the program committee). Any figure pertaining to the main part of the paper should
be included therein (within the 12 page limit). The first page must include an indication of whether
the paper is eligible for the best student paper award.

Bernhard's research interests lie in algorithm design, distributed computing, and (network) coding theory. Recent results include hop-constrained optimization and oblivious routing, beyond-worst case algorithms for distributed optimization, and coding for insertions/deletions and interactive communications. His research was published in over 100 papers at top conferences and journals and won several awards including the ACM-EATCS Doctoral Dissertation Award of Distributed Computing, a George Sprowls Dissertation Award at MIT, and various best (student) paper awards. His research has been funded by multiple prestigious awards including an NSF Career Award, a Sloan Research Fellowship, and an ERC award.
