48th Annual Symposium on the Theory of Computing

The 48th ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC 2016) is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory and will be held in Cambridge, MA. Sunday, June 19 - Tuesday, June 21, 2016 with a day of workshops and tutorials on Saturday, June 18 2016 which will be coordinated with the co-located conference, the International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG); SoCG runs Tuesday, June 14, 2016 to Friday, June 17, 2016.

Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include: algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, cryptography, privacy, computational geometry, algorithmic graph theory and combinatorics, optimization, randomness in computing, approximation algorithms, parallel and distributed computation, machine learning, applications of logic, algorithmic algebra and coding theory, computational biology, computational game theory, quantum computing, and theoretical aspects of areas such as robotics, databases, information retrieval, and networks. Papers that broaden the reach of theory, or raise important problems that can benefit from theoretical investigation and analysis, are encouraged.
