ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA10)

January 17-19, 2010
Hyatt Regency Austin
Austin, Texas

The twelfth Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX10) and the seventh Workshop on Analytic Algorithmics and Combinatorics (ANALCO10) will be held immediately preceding the conference, on January 16, at the same location.

SODA is jointly sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory and the SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics.

Description

This symposium focuses on research topics related to efficient algorithms and data structures for discrete problems. In addition to the design of such methods and structures, the scope also includes their use, performance analysis, and the mathematical problems related to their development or limitations. Performance analyses may be analytical or experimental and may address worst-case or expected-case performance. Studies can be theoretical or based on data sets that have arisen in practice and may address methodological issues involved in performance analysis.
