[DMANET] ISAAC 2026 - Second Call for Papers

The 37th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2026) will take place in Hangzhou, China, December 6-9, 2026 https://www.algo-door.com/isaac2026/index.html 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. Invited Speakers ================= Mark de Berg (Eindhoven University of Technology) Michal Feldman (Tel-Aviv University) Anupam Gupta (New York University) Important dates ================ - Paper submission deadline: June 26, 2026 (AoE) (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaac2026) - Notification of paper acceptance: Early September, 2026 - Camera-ready version: September 30, 2026 Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered. 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.
