By now, it is hard to overestimate the impact of the COVID19 pandemic to
society. However, like every challenge, it has created some opportunities.
For example, essentially all major conferences in TCS this year have been
transformed into virtual ones, making them more accessible to
scholars/students across the world (of course at the expense of
traditional interactions).
ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA21) will be held virtually
this year, on Jan. 10 - 13, 2021. As you may know, this is the premier
conference on algorithms .
See https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/conference/soda21
Thanks to our industry partners and ACM SIGACT group, SODA has some funds
for covering student registrations. I am writing to informing you this
opportunity and encourage you to apply:
See:
1. https://awards.siam.org/
2.
https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/lodging-and-support/travel-support/soda21-travel-support
That deadline is Dec. 27, 2020. Like before, having papers in SODA is not
prerequisite.
