ISAAC 2018 - The 29th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation
December 16-19, 2018
Jiaoxi, Yilan County, Taiwan
================================================================
We are glad to invite you to participate in the 29th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2018), to be held in Jiaoxi, Yilan County, Taiwan on December 16-19, 2018. The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working in algorithms and theory of computation.
In this year, we schedule two keynote talks by Clifford Stein and Shang-Hua Teng. In addition, we organize a special workshop on Dec. 16, right before the regular program of ISAAC (Dec. 17-19) and invite several internationally renowned computer scientists who were born in 1949 or earlier as special guest speakers, including Tetsuo Asano, Fan Chung Graham, Kurt Mehlhorn, and so on.
In particular, we also plan to arrange an open-problem session during ISAAC, which aims at providing a forum for discussion and brainstorming among the ISAAC community. The 'bubble-tea' session of open problems will be chaired by Sándor Fekete and Luca Trevisan, and submissions are open until Oct. 21 (Sun), 2018.
[Session of Open Problems: Call-for-Abstracts]
The registration is open now. The early registration fee is $15,000 TWD for regular participants (and $10,000 TWD for students) until October 26, 2018. (After that, the registration fee will be $18,000 TWD for regular participants and $12,000 TWD for students.) Both of the registrations include admission to the special workshop, all sessions of ISAAC 2018, welcome reception on December 16, conference dinner banquet on December 18, and lunch on December 16-19.
