The Symposium of Experimental Algorithms 2026 (SEA 2026) will take place on June 22—24, 2026, in Copenhagen, Denmark, in IDA Conference Center, which is situated at the waterfront in the city center of Copenhagen, just a few minutes' walk from Copenhagen Central Station and Tivoli.
SEA aims to attract papers from the Computer Science community, the Operations Research/Mathematical Programming community and any other scientific community that is concerned with the main theme of the symposium, namely the role of experimentation and of algorithm engineering techniques in the design and evaluation of algorithms and data structures.
Submissions should present significant contributions supported by experimental evaluation, methodological issues in the design and interpretation of experiments, the use of (meta-)heuristics, or application-driven case studies that deepen the understanding of the complexity of a problem.
