The International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC, formerly IWPEC) is a strongly peer-reviewed annual conference that covers research in all aspects of parameterized and exact algorithms and complexity.
History
The first International Workshop on Exact and Parameterized Computation (IWPEC) took place in Bergen in 2004. Since 2008, IWPEC has been held annually. In 2010, IWPEC changed its name to International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC). Since 2011, IPEC has often been co-located with the European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA) and other conference and workshops in the ALGO confederated conference, held in Europe in early September. The research contributions accepted for presentation at the conference appear in printed proceedings; the 2004–2014 conferences were published with Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Since 2015, the IPEC proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics.
