The 16th Annual International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications (COCOA 2023) will be held during December 11-13, 2023. Original research papers in the areas of combinatorial optimization and its applications are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special consideration will be given to research that is motivated by real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected to show convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical setting.

The topics include, but are not limited to:

    Algorithms and Data Structures
    Approximation Algorithms
    Operation Research
    Communication Network Optimization
    Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks
    Optimal Resource Management
    Social Networks
