About us

The International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC) is an annual conference covering all aspects of parameterized and exact algorithms and complexity. Its 21st edition will be part of ALGO 2026.

Submission deadline

Call For Paper

New techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms
Fixed-parameter tractability and kernelization results
Parameterized complexity theory
Parameterized (in)approximability results
Relationships between parameterized complexity and traditional complexity classifications
Applications of parameterized and exact computation
Engineering and experimentation of exact, parameterized, and kernelization algorithms

We welcome submissions of the full version of the paper. Regardless, the first 500 lines of the submission (equivalent to around 12 pages) should be enough to assess the paper and contain a summary of the main results, their motivation and importance, and evidence of their correctness.
