SPIRE 2020 is the 27th International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval. SPIRE started in 1993 as the South American Workshop on String Processing. This is the first time that SPIRE is held in the United States of America allowing attendees to visit Orlando, Florida.
Submission Guidelines
SPIRE 2020 invites submissions in two categories: long papers (up to 12 pages) and short papers (up to 6 pages), excluding references and optional appendices in both cases.
The reviewing process will be single-blind, namely, each submission should be non-anonymous. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
The proceedings will be published in the LNCS series of Springer-Verlag. The use of either LaTeX or Word LNCS templates is mandatory. Suitable templates are available at the Springer Website ( https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines ). Do not change the margin size or the font, do not make a separate title page, etc.: use the LNCS style file as given. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted.
List of Topics
All aspects of string processing, information retrieval, computational biology, and related applications are covered. Typical topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- String Processing: string pattern matching, text indexing, data structures for string processing, text compression, compressed data structures, compressed string processing, text mining, 2D pattern matching, automata-based string processing.
- Information Retrieval (IR): retrieval models, indexing, evaluation, algorithms and data structures for IR, efficient implementation of IR systems, interface design, text classification, and clustering, text analysis, and mining, collaborative and content-based filtering, topic modeling for IR, search tasks (Web search, enterprise search, desktop search, legal search, cross-lingual retrieval, federated search, (micro) blog search, XML retrieval, multimedia retrieval), digital libraries.
- Computational Biology: high-throughput DNA sequencing (assembly, read alignment, read error correction, metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics), evolution and phylogenetics, gene and regulatory element recognition, motif finding, protein structure prediction.
