Conference on Algorithms & Discrete Applied Mathematics by IIT Ropar

About the Algorithms & Discrete

The International Conference on Algorithms and Discrete Applied Mathematics (CALDAM), held under aegis of the Association for Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics (ACSDM), is intended to bring together researchers working in the areas of algorithms and applied discrete mathematics and provide a high-quality forum for the dissemination and discussion of research results in these broad areas. CALDAM has originated from the ongoing efforts for promoting research in Algorithms and Discrete Mathematics.

The first CALDAM was organized by the Department of Computer Science at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) from February 8 to 10, 2015. The second CALDAM was organized by the Department of Future Studies, University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram from February 18 to 20, 2016. The third CALDAM was organized by the Department of Mathematics, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani), K K Birla Goa Campus, Goa, India from February 16 to 18, 2017. The fourth CALDAM was organized by the Department of Computer Science Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT Guwahati) from February 15 to 17, 2018. The fifth CALDAM was organized by the Department of Computer Science Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) from February 14 to 16, 2019. The sixth CALDAM was organised by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Hyderabad from February 13 to 15, 2020.

The proceedings of accepted papers (CALDAM 2015, CALDAM 2016, CALDAM 2017, CALDAM 2018, CALDAM 2019, CALDAM 2020), were published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer. Also, selected papers are being published as a special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics (DAM). In all the previous CALDAMs, Springer has sponsored awards for the best student presentations.

CALDAM 2021

The seventh CALDAM (CALDAM 2021) will be organized by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Ropar from 11th to 13th of February 2021.

As in earlier CALDAMs, the proceedings of accepted papers of CALDAM 2021 is likely to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer. Also, it is likely that the selected papers of CALDAM 2021 will be published as a special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics (DAM), as in previous CALDAMs. As before, it is likely that Springer will sponsor awards for the best student presentations.

A set of topics within the scope of CALDAM includes (but is not limited to):

SCOPE

CALDAM 2021 invites papers describing original research in the areas of design, analysis and experimental evaluation of algorithms and in discrete applied mathematics. Papers must be typeset using LaTeX/LaTeX2e and may not exceed 12 pages in LNCS style, including bibliographic references. Further details may be included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Only electronic submission is allowed. Submitted papers must describe previously unpublished work and may not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings or to a refereed journal.
