The First Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms will be co-located with The 29th ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA 2018) in New Orleans, LA, USA, January 7–10, 2018.
​
Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms is a new conference in theoretical computer science dedicated to advancing algorithms research by promoting simplicity and elegance in the design and analysis of algorithms. The benefits of simplicity are manifold: simple algorithms manifest a better understanding of the problem at hand; they are more likely to be implemented and trusted by practitioners; they are more easily taught and are more likely to be included in algorithms textbooks; they attract a broader set of researchers to difficult algorithmic problems.
