IWOCA 2026 - 37th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms
The 37th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms (IWOCA 2026) will be held during 8-11 June, 2026 at Université Clermont Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The conference will be followed by a collaborative workshop during 11-12 June, 2026.
Since its inception in 1989 as AWOCA (Australasian Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms), IWOCA has provided an annual forum for researchers who design algorithms for the myriad combinatorial problems that underlie computer applications in science, engineering and business. Previous IWOCA and AWOCA meetings have been held in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Indonesia, India, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, UK, Taiwan, and USA (see previous editions and main IWOCA webpage).
