Scope
The 22nd International Conference on Randomization and Computation (RANDOM 2018) and the 21st International Conference on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX 2018) will be held on August 20-22, 2018 at Princeton University, New Jersey. RANDOM 2018 focuses on applications of randomness to computational and combinatorial problems.

Submissions
Abstract Format: Electronic submissions are solicited.
Please consult the following server: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=random2018
Note: You will be asked to login using an EasyChair account. Directions on how to register for such an account are available at the submission servers (you may also have an old account from a previous conference submission). The submission must be received by 15:00pm (PDT) of April 20th for your submission to be considered.
Submission Format: Submissions should start with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, followed by a one-paragraph summary of the results to be presented. This should then be followed by a technical exposition on single-spaced pages on letter-size paper, using reasonable margins and at least 11-point font. The first 10 pages should contain the main ideas and techniques used to achieve the results including motivation and a clear comparison with related work (not including the references). There is no page limit but any material beyond the first 10 pages will be read at the sole discretion of the program committee. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published in the online proceedings of the conference in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl. This guarantees perennial, free and easy electronic access, while the authors retain the rights over their work. Further detail will be available early January at the conference website. Previous proceedings of RANDOM appeared as LNCS 1269, 1518, 1671, 2129, 2483, 2764, 3122, 3624, 4110, and as Proceedings in Informatics 8.
