Topics

The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working on algorithms and computation. The scope covers theoretical analysis, experimental validation, and practical applications. The topics include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic game theory
Algorithms and data structures
Approximation algorithms
Combinatorial optimization
Computational biology
Computational complexity
Computational geometry
Cryptography
Experimental algorithms
Graph algorithms
Graph drawing
Internet algorithms
Online algorithms
Parallel and distributed algorithms
Quantum computing
Randomized algorithms

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 12 pages with an optional appendix. The submission should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. They must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a journal. Drafts which contain essentially the same results as papers under review in other conferences or journals cannot be submitted to ISAAC 2024. Exempted are workshops and conferences without formal proceedings, but possibly with handouts containing short abstracts. At least one author of an accepted paper is required to present the paper at the conference as a registered participant.

Submitted papers must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LIPIcs style file.

The maximum length of the paper (including title, the list of authors, abstract) is 12 pages, with references and the optional appendix excluded. Use the LIPIcs style file as given; for instance, do not change the margin size or the font, or make a separate title page, or create new latex environments.

Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix that is to be read by the program committee members at their discretion and will not be published as part of the proceedings. Thus the paper without the appendix should be able to stand on its own.

In order to reduce bias in the reviewing process, ISAAC 2024 will implement double-blind reviewing. As much as possible, submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way; in particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission. However, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would like making early drafts available on their webpage or through pre-print dissemination websites such as the arXiv. Submissions by (non-chair) PC members are allowed. If any of the authors of a submission is a PC member, this should be indicated in the submission.

Submissions are due on Friday, June 28, 2024 (Anywhere on the Earth). Only electronic submission via the Easychair submission server is allowed.

The above guidelines are strict: papers failing to adhere to the guidelines (e.g.,by not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix, being more than 12 pages, not being in LIPIcs format, or not following the double blind rules) will be rejected without consideration of their merits.


Awards

The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded. A paper is eligible for the Best Student Paper if all authors are full-time students at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is eligible, please mark the checkbox "Eligible for best student paper" in the web form on the submission server.

Journal publication

Selected papers will be nominated for publication in Algorithmica and Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications (CGTA). After the symposium, we will invite authors of selected papers to submit their manuscripts to the journals for journal review.
