Important Dates

STOC paper submission deadline: November 4, 2019, 11:59pm CST

Submitted Papers Notification: by February 9, 2020

Deadline for final versions of accepted papers: April 10, 2020

Conference dates: June 22–26, 2020
STOC Paper Submission

Typical but not exclusive topics of interest for STOC papers include foundational areas such as algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, parallel and distributed algorithms, quantum computing, continuous and discrete optimization, randomness in computing, approximation algorithms, combinatorics and algorithmic graph theory, cryptography, computational geometry, algebraic computation, computational applications of logic, and algorithmic coding theory. Typical topics also include computation and foundational aspects of areas such as machine learning, economics, fairness, privacy, networks, data management, and biology. Papers that broaden the reach of the theory of computing, or raise important problems that can benefit from theoretical investigation and analysis, are encouraged.
Poster Sessions

In addition to talks, all accepted STOC papers will be presented in evening poster sessions, during which participants will have an opportunity to talk with authors about their papers. Light refreshments will be provided.
