COCOA 2026 invites submissions of original research papers on algorithm design, combinatorial optimization, and their applications. In addition to theoretical results, we particularly welcome submissions reporting on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special consideration will be given to research motivated by real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected to convincingly demonstrate the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in practical settings.
