About the Symposium

If applying for a visa, please remember to allow ample time for the application process. See “Conference Information” for a link to the National Academies who can provide further information.

The 8th Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX06) and the 3rd Workshop on Analytic Algorithmics and Combinatorics (ANALCO06) will be held immediately preceding the conference, on January 21, at the same location.

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.
