SIAM Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms (SOSA) 2027

The 2027 symposium is at Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The stated audiences include researchers, practitioners, and undergraduates.

It is most useful for theoretical computer scientists who value clean proofs and simpler presentations, since the call favours simpler algorithms and analyses, and the speaker list includes many active algorithms researchers such as Per Austrin and Yixin Cao. Undergraduates and general algorithms researchers are explicitly a target audience, while engineers seeking applied or product-oriented content would get less from a theory symposium.

Attendees at theoretical computer science symposia usually dress casually, in jeans or chinos with a t-shirt or casual shirt, and a light layer for indoor conference rooms.
