WAAC 2025
August 19–20, 2025
Algorithms and Computation
August 19–20, 2025
Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
August is the busiest season for tourists in Sapporo. We recommend to book a hotel as early as possible.
Objectives
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working on algorithms and the theory of computation, to promote the exchange of recent results, and to foster new collaborations among researchers. Historically, the workshop was established for the purpose of collaboration of researchers from Korea and Japan; however, participation from any country is welcome.
The workshop is organized by the Special Interest Group on Algorithms (SIGAL) of the Information Processing Society of Japan and the Special Interest Group on Algorithms (SIGAL) of the Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Engineers (KIISE).
Topics
The topics covered by the workshop are, but not limited to:
- Automata, languages and computability
- Algorithms (combinatorial/graph/geometric/randomized)
- VLSI and parallel algorithms
- Networks and distributed algorithms
- Learning theory and data mining
- Number theory and cryptography
- Graph drawing and visualization
- Computational logic
- Combinatorics and optimization
Invited Speaker
To be announced.
