Submission Instructions
How to Participate
Authors must submit their papers electronically, in PDF format. Submissions should begin with a title page containing the paper title and an abstract summarizing the contributions of the paper. There is no page limit. The paper should begin with a clear description of the algorithmic problem to be solved, a survey of prior work on the problem—including a candid assessment of prior work in terms of simplicity and elegance—and a discussion of the contributions of the paper. The body of the paper should be written for a general theoretical computer science audience and substantiate the main claims of the paper with full proofs. The submission should be typeset using 11-point font, in a single-column format with ample spacing throughout and ample margins all around. The submissions ought to be visually easy to read.
Double-Blind Reviewing
SOSA will use (lightweight) double-blind reviewing. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors, including authors’ names, affiliations, or email addresses. References to the authors' own related work should be in the third person. However, nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors can disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would, e.g. in talks or on arXiv. In case there exist publicly available versions of the submission, authors may mention this in their submission (without providing references/links) and briefly explain the differences, if any. Alternatively, they can communicate such details to the chairs. Questions on double-blind reviewing can be addressed to the PC chairs.
