CALDAM

The International Conference on Algorithms and Discrete Applied Mathematics (CALDAM), held under aegis of the Association for Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics (ACSDM), is intended to bring together researchers working in the areas of algorithms and applied discrete mathematics and provide a high-quality forum for the dissemination and discussion of research results in these broad areas. CALDAM has originated from the ongoing efforts for promoting research in Algorithms and Discrete Mathematics.

The first CALDAM was organized by the Department of Computer Science at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) from February 8 to 10, 2015. The second CALDAM was organized by the Department of Future Studies, University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram from Feburay 18 to 20, 2016. The third CALDAM was organized by the Department of Mathematics, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani),K K Birla Goa Campus, Goa, India from February 16 to 18, 2017. The fourth CALDAM was organized by the Department of Computer Science Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT Guwahati) from February 15 to 17, 2018.

The proceedings of accepted papers (CALDAM 2015, CALDAM 2016, CALDAM 2017, CALDAM 2018) were published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer. Also, selected papers are being published as a special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics (DAM).

CALDAM 2019

The fifth CALDAM (CALDAM 2019) will be organized by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Kharagpur from 14th to 16th of February 2019. As in earlier CALDAMs, the proceedings of accepted papers of CALDAM 2019 will be publsihed in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer. Extended versions of selected papers of CALDAM 2019 will be considered for publication in the special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics (DAM), as in previous CALDAMs.
