Preface
No full textThis volume contains the papers presented at the 48th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 2021), held virtually, hosted by the University of Glasgow, UK, during July 12–16, 2021. ICALP is a series of annual conferences of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), which first took place in 1972.
This year, the ICALP program consisted of two tracks:
Track A: Algorithms, Complexity, and Games
Track B: Automata, Logic, Semantics, and Theory of Programming
In response to the call for papers, a total of 362 submissions were received: 261 for Track A and 101 for Track B. Each submission was assigned to at least three Program Committee members, aided by 761 external subreviewers. The committees decided to accept 137 papers for inclusion in the scientific program: 108 papers for Track A and 29 for Track B. The selection was made by the Program Committees based on originality, quality, and relevance to theoretical computer science. The quality of the manuscripts was very high indeed, and many deserving papers could not be selected.
The EATCS sponsored awards for both a best paper and a best student paper in each of the two tracks, selected by the Program Committees.
The best paper awards were given to the following papers:
Track A: Sayan Bhattacharya and Peter Kiss. Deterministic Rounding of Dynamic Frac-
tional Matchings.
Track B: Antoine Amarilli, Louis Jachiet and Charles Paperman. Dynamic Membership for
Regular Languages.
The best student paper awards, for papers that are solely authored by students, were given to the following paper:
Track A: Or Zamir. Breaking the 2n barrier for 5-coloring and 6-coloring.
Track B: none.
Apart from the contributed talks, ICALP 2021 included invited presentations by Christel Baier (Technical University of Dresden), Andrei Bulatov (Simon Fraser University, Canada), Keren Censor-Hillel (Technion, Israel), Toniann Pitassi (University of Toronto, Canada), Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), David Woodruff (Carnegie Mellon University, USA).
This volume contains all the contributed papers presented at the conference, papers that accompany the invited talks of Christel Baier, Andrei Bulatov, Keren Censor-Hillel, Adi Shamir, David Woodruff, and an abstract of the invited presentation of Toniann Pitassi.
The program of ICALP 2021 also included presentations of the EATCS Award 2021 to Toniann Pitassi, the Presburger Award 2021 to Shayan Oveis Gharan, the EATCS Distinguished Dissertation Awards to Talya Eden, Marie Fortin, Vera Traub, and the induction of new EATCS Fellows Luca Aceto, Rajeev Alur, Samir Khuller, David Peleg, Davide Sangiorgi, Saket Saurabh.
The following workshops were held as satellite events of ICALP 2021 on July 12, 2021: Algorithmic Aspects of Temporal Graphs IV (AATG)
Verification of Session Types (VEST)
Programming Research in Mainstream Languages (PRiML)
Graph Width Parameters: from Structure to Algorithms (GWP)
Combinatorial Reconfiguration
Formal methods education on-line: Tips, Tricks and Tools
Flavours of Uncertainty in Verification, Planning and Optimization (FUNCTION)
We wish to thank all authors who submitted extended abstracts for consideration, the Program Committees for their scholarly effort, and all the referees who assisted the Program Committees in the evaluation process.
We are also grateful to the Conference General Chair, Simon Gay, and his colleagues from the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, for organizing ICALP 2021, and to the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA) for sponsoring participation by PhD students from Scotland.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
