European Symposia on Algorithms

General information

The Symposium covers research in efficient algorithms and data structures in computer science, discrete applied mathematics, operations research and mathematical programming. Starting from 2002, the symposium has two tracks:

• Design and Analysis Track

  Design and mathematical analysis of algorithms

• Engineering and Application Track

  Real-world applications, engineering and experimental analysis of algorithms

The creation of two tracks in ESA follows the incorporation of the annual Workshop on Algorithm Engineering (WAE) into ESA.

Each track has its own program committee. Papers are submitted to a particular track, but the committees have the right to move papers between tracks.

News

The 17th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms ESA 2009 will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, from September 7 to 9, 2009.

As of ESA 2007, in addition to the best student paper award, ESA will confer a best paper award. The prize will acknowledge the best contributed ESA paper of that year, as judged by the program committee. The award will be sponsored by EATCS.
