Symposium on Discrete Algorithms
open-in-new
<p>The Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA) is an <a href="/facts/Academic_conference/0YAVfxe3">academic conference</a> in the fields of <a href="/facts/Algorithm_design/fnl5NmRt">algorithm design</a> and <a href="/facts/Discrete_mathematics/XdRUnzUL">discrete mathematics</a>. It is considered to be one of the top conferences for research in algorithms. SODA has been organized annually since 1990, typically in January. SODA is jointly sponsored by the <a href="/facts/Association_for_Computing_Machinery/abI2atlP">ACM</a> Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (<a href="/facts/SIGACT/E4QBwEy8">SIGACT</a>) and the <a href="/facts/Society_for_Industrial_and_Applied_Mathematics/2HY4T5WY">SIAM</a> Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics, and in format is more similar to a <a href="/facts/Theoretical_computer_science/jSkGGuvy">theoretical computer science</a> conference than to a mathematics conference. </p>
