Symposium on Experimental Algorithms

The Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA) is a well-regarded annual forum dedicated to the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of algorithms. SEA occupies a unique position in the algorithms research landscape by emphasizing practical performance and implementation considerations alongside theoretical correctness. The symposium brings together researchers who believe that careful experimental study of algorithms is essential for understanding their real-world behavior, with topics spanning graph algorithms, combinatorial optimization, network analysis, and algorithm engineering across diverse application domains.

Submissions are invited presenting experimental studies of algorithms and data structures, including new implementations, comparative benchmarks, algorithm engineering contributions, and analyses of algorithm behavior on real-world instances. Topics include graph and network algorithms, combinatorial optimization, sorting and searching, string algorithms, computational geometry, and algorithmic approaches to scheduling, routing, and machine learning. Papers should include rigorous experimental methodology and reproducible results.
