International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics

Overview

The 32nd International Computing and Combinatorics Conference (COCOON 2026) will be held in Singapore from 23 to 25 July 2026. Original research papers in the areas of algorithms, theory of computation, computational complexity, and combinatorics related to computing are solicited. Submissions presenting experimental or applied work are also welcome, provided that they make a clear algorithmic contribution and offer insights of interest to the theory and algorithms community. Special consideration will be given to research that is motivated by real-world problems; such submissions are expected to include rigorous justification, careful evaluation, or convincing evidence of the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) algorithms and data structures; algorithmic game theory and mechanism design; approximation and online algorithms; automata, languages, logic, and computability; combinatorics related to algorithms and complexity; complexity theory; computational learning theory and knowledge discovery; cryptography, reliability, and security; database theory; computational biology and bioinformatics; computational algebra, geometry, and number theory; exact and parameterized algorithms; graph drawing and information visualization; graph theory and communication networks; optimization; parallel and distributed computing; and quantum computing. Each submission should contain a clear and scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including motivation and a careful comparison with related work. Papers will be evaluated on originality, technical depth, correctness, significance, and clarity of presentation. Each submission is limited to twelve (12) single-column pages in Springer LNCS format (figures and references included; optional appendix for proofs omitted due to space). The conference employs a lightweight double-blind reviewing process; submissions must not reveal author identity. Submissions must be made electronically through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=cocoon2026). Accepted papers must be presented in person to appear in the proceedings, published by Springer in the LNCS series.
