SEA aims to attract papers from the Computer Science community, the Operations Research/Mathematical Programming community and any other scientific community which 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.

Topics of Interest

Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but not limited to:

Algorithm Engineering
Algorithmic Libraries
Analysis of Algorithms
