Time allowed for each presentation:

Contributed Sessions:

17 minutes for each presentation plus 3 minutes for questions and answers.

Invited Plenary Sessions (IP):

 55 minutes for each presentation plus 5 minutes for questions and answers.

Important Notice

The conference organizers expect every speaker of a scheduled presentation to register and give the talk. Jointly authored papers must be presented by one of the co-authors. A "no-show" or canceled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to attendees and the conference organizers.

What's New?

Tracks

The Program Chairs, Tandy Warnow and Bob Tarjan, have organized the symposium schedule into tracks, with each track occupying the same room throughout the meeting. This type of organizing the schedule is a FIRST in this the Tenth SODA. There are four tracks, organized as follows:

  • Track 1: Data Structures, Computational Geometry, Strings, Trees, and Computational Biology
    Liberty A Room

  • Track 2: Discrete Mathematics and Graph Algorithms
    Mencken Room
  • Track 3: Systems, Applications, Parallel, and Experimental Papers
    Carroll Room
  • Track 4: Combinatorial Optimization
    Liberty B Room

"Rump Session"

Another new feature for SODA is the "rump session", which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, January 19 at 11:00 AM in Liberty B room. Short (5-minute) talks may include discussion of open problems, reports on research results, or other short presentations. Requests for slots in the "rump session" will be accepted from the time conference registration opens at 7:30 AM on Sunday, January 17. Requests will be honored on a first come, first served basis. See SIAM staff at the registration desk in Liberty Foyer, Lobby level pre-function area.

The list of selected talks for the "rump session" will be posted on the bulletin board on January 18 at 9:00 AM.
