ISAAC, the International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, is an academic conference in the field of algorithms and theoretical computer science. [1]
ISAAC was founded in 1990 by Takao Nishizeki, under the sponsorship of the Information Processing Society of Japan Special Interest Group for Algorithms (SIGAL). [2] It has been organized annually since 1990; the conference is usually held in Asia, in December each year, but with a global set of participants also including researchers from Europe and North America. [3] The proceedings were published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series from 1990 until 2015; since 2016 they have been published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics open access series by the Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik at Schloss Dagstuhl in Germany.

ISAAC held an A ranking in the 2023 ICORE ranking of computer science conferences, placing it in the top quartile of ranked conferences. [5]
