International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (formerly IWPEC) covers research in all aspects of parameterized and exact algorithms and complexity.
History
First IWPEC (International Workshop on Exact and ParameterizedComputation) took place in 2004 in Bergen. Since 2008, IWPEC becomes annual. In 2010, IWPEC changes its name to IPEC. Some years IPEC is allocated with ALGO (ESA+WABI+ATMOS+WAOA) and some years it occurs outside of Europe. IPECs 2012 and 2013 will be collocated with ALGO and will take places in Ljubljana, Slovenia and Sophia Antipolis, France.

Awards
Since 2010, IPEC Program Committee awards Student Excellent Paper. In 2010 the award was shared by papers ‘Inclusion/Exclusion Branching for Partial Dominating Set Set Splitting’ (by Jesper Nederlof and Johan M. M. van Rooij) and ‘Small Vertex Cover Makes Petri Net Coverability and Boundedness Easier’ (by M. Praveen). In 2011, the award was assigned to Yoichi Iwata for the paper ‘A Faster Algorithm for Dominating Set Analyzed by the Potential Method’.
