61st Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science

COVID-19 UPDATE IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE FOCS 2020 Organizing Committee have been monitoring the developing COVID-19 situation. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, we are announcing that the IEEE FOCS 2020, scheduled to be held in-person in Durham, NC will now be converted into an all-digital conference experience. The dates of the conference will remain the same.

TOPICS

The conference seeks papers presenting new and original research on the theory of computation. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include:

• Algorithms and data structures,
• Computational complexity, cryptography,
• Computational learning theory,
• Economics and computation,
• Parallel and distributed algorithms,
• Quantum computing,
• Computational geometry,
• Computational applications of logic,
• Algorithmic graph theory and combinatorics, optimization,
• Randomness in computing,
• Approximation algorithms,
• Algorithmic coding theory,
• Algebraic computation, and
• Theoretical aspects of areas such as networks, privacy, information retrieval, computational biology, and databases.

We encourage papers that broaden the reach of the theory of computing, or raise important problems that can benefit from theoretical investigation and analysis.
