The International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC) is an
annual conference dedicated to research in algorithms and theoretical
computer science. Since 1990, it has served as a forum for presenting and
discussing original research in all aspects of algorithm design, analysis,
and related areas.

Submission guidelines
========================================================
1). Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or a full paper with
an optional appendix. The submission should provide a scholarly exposition
of ideas, techniques, and results, including motivation and a clear
comparison with related work. Submissions must not be made simultaneously
to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a journal. Drafts
containing essentially the same results as submissions currently under
review in other conferences or journals are not eligible for submission to
ISAAC 2026. Workshops and conferences without formal proceedings, but
possibly with handouts containing short abstracts, are exempt from this
restriction. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to
present the paper at the conference as a (regular) registered participant.
2). Submissions from non-chair Program Committee (PC) members are
permitted, and will be taken carefully to avoid conflict of interest.
3). Submission Format:
Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in LaTeX using the LIPIcs style
file, available at
https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/.
The maximum length of the paper is 12 pages, excluding title page,
references and the optional appendix. Use the LIPIcs style file as
provided; do not adjust the margin size, or change the font.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix,
which reviewers may read at their discretion.
4). Anonymous Submission
To reduce bias in the reviewing process, ISAAC 2026 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 are encouraged to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their papers as they normally would, such
as making early drafts available on their personal webpages or on pre-print
dissemination platforms like arXiv.
========================================================
Journal Special Issues
========================================================
Selected papers will be nominated for publication in Algorithmica and
Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications (CGTA). We will invite
authors of selected papers to submit their manuscripts to the journals for
journal review.
