STOC Paper Submission
Typical but not exclusive topics of interest for STOC papers 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.
Poster Sessions
In addition to talks, all accepted STOC papers will be presented in evening poster sessions where there will be an opportunity to talk with authors about their papers, accompanied by light refreshments.
Invited Paper Talks
Theory Fest will feature about 10-12 short plenary talks on "best of theory" from a wide variety of venues and journals where Theoretical Computer Science work gets published. Anyone can suggest papers for invited presentation at Theory Fest. Suggestions may be made (deadline December 12, 2016) by following the call for suggestions.
